Synopsis
Excerpt from A Press Club Outing: A Trip Across the Continent to Attend the First Convention of the International League of Press Clubs
Twenty-three clubs were represented in the Convention. The visitors were royally entertained. In the three days the League was born, christened and matured, and Mr. Keenan was unanimously elected its first President. The merits of the movement were briefly: The association of the organizations of the newspaper men and newspaper women of the world; the interchangeable credentials that admitted the member of one club to all clubs of the League; the mutual assistance and encouragement of League members, and the general purpose to give the profession, or calling, as you wish, the broadest benefits of organization. The League met with immediate favor. And the proof of its usefulness is found in the fact that since it was established the press clubs in this country have increased nearly one hundred per cent. In number, and more than one hundred per cent. In membership. The coming in of the German Press Clubs, and many of the \/vomen Press Clubs, had a decided effect upon the life of the new organization.
