In 1929, the Junior Association
of Commerce, an organization of young business men devoted to the
development of the city, was formed by 50 men attending a meeting
in the Saint Paul Hotel. Mr. Leslie B. Farrington was elected the
first president of the new group.
Mr. Farrington stated that the Junior
Association would have goals as follows:
"The Association will be interested
in development of leadership among young men, and inculcation of
the highest ideals of ethics. The junior association will bring
together a group of men who have never been organized before and
will give them opportunity for civic work such as they could not
do alone.
All will be interested in one cause,
principally to serve every movement which has as its roots in
the progress and development of the community, and to demonstrate
by actual practice the greater value of cooperation, as against
individual effort in solving problems of common interest."
And so the Saint Paul Junior Chamber
of Commerce was started some 75 years ago . . . |
