Dunklee On Retiring as President of the Association December 7, 1903 Gentlemen of the Denver Bar Association: This meeting rounds out the twelfth year of the existence of the Association, and marks the close of the work for the past year, which is in part represented in the report herewith submitted for your consideration. The importance of a bar association in a city that has more than 700 practicing attorneys, with numerous courts, can not be judged by what has been accomplished in any one year, but, rather, by what might be accomplished, in case an occasion should arise, affecting the administration of justice, that would merit or demand of the legal profession general and determined action as an organized body. The annual banquet, the placing of a flower upon the grave of one who has closed the book of life and been summoned before a higher court, and the commemoration of his life and character, as an honorable member of the profession, are all praiseworthy and important, but are not the real work or reason for the existence or continuance of the Association. We have long since outgrown village proportions, and the best interests of the profession and the administration of justice demand that we be organized into an Association which is in every way representative of our profession, that we may be enabled to take united action as an organized body whenever occasion requires, |
