To the Member.,
The Chicago Bar Association:
Our main purpose as an association of lawyers is so to co-operate
.at we may fully discharge our responsibilities to our clients and to
the public. Those responsibilities were never better stated than in
zhe following lines of the English Essayist and Philosopher, Sydney
$mith :
In all the civil difficulties of life men depend upon your exer-
cised faculties, and your spotless integrity; and they require of
you an elevation above all that is mean, and a spirit which will
never yield when it ought not to yield. As long as your profes-
sion retains its character for learning, the right will be defended;
as long as it preserves itself pure and incorruptible on other oc-
casions not connected with your profession, those tale nts 'will
never be used to the public injury which were intended and nur-
tured for the public good.
And, so, during the year 1929-1930, let us work more closely to-
gether, that, we may measure up to the high obligation which our
projession imposes upon us.
FRANCIS X. BUSCH,
President.
