Excerpt from Report of the Organization and of the First General Meeting at Cambridge, November 5, 1886: On the First Day of the Celebration of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of Harvard College The general object of the Association is to bring together, by means of an active, efficient organization, which shall hold a stated meeting at least once each year, all those members of the legal profession who are connected by the common bond of having made their preparation, or some part of their preparation, for the practice of the law in the Harvard Law School. It is hoped also that the Association may be made a powerful means of in creasing the in uence and usefulness of the Law School itself, through the organization of Law School Clubs in the different cities, on the plan of the Harvard Clubs now existing all over the country, and by any other means which may in future be deemed advisable. The object of this circular is to obtain information as to the state of feeling among graduates and former students of the Law School in reference to the proposed Association. AS the suc cess of the Whole plan will depend largely upon its favorable reception by those who are at a distance, you are earnestly re quested to make a thorough canvass Of the Law School men of your acquaintance and in your vicinity, in order to ascertain their sentiments, and to create an interest in favor of the Association. AS yet nothing has been done beyond calling a meeting of Law School graduates residing in Boston, at which a committee was appointed to prepare a plan of organization, and report at a future meeting.
