Wing, Charles Dwight Willard and Frank Wiggins.; The history of the club (part 1 of 2): "The Sunset Club By Fred L. Alles. The city of Los Angeles, peculiarly situated in being practically cut off from the rest of the literary word, is forced to create its own literary atmosphere. Recognizing the desirability of bringing together people of literary tastes and interests, Mr. Charles Dwight Willard, in May, 1895, suggested to a number of gentlemen, the organization of a club in Los Angeles to be modeled, in a measure, on the lines of the famous Sunset Club of Chicago. The suggestion met with instant and cordial response, and an organization was soon perfected with a membership of sixty, since increased to seventy, to which number it will probably be limited for some time to come. The organization. The initial circular sent out, inviting gentlemen to assist in organizing the Club stated that 'The general aim and object of the Club is to bring together, once a month, thirty or forty active, intelligent men of Los Angeles who are interested in other things besides money-getting and who read something more than the daily newspaper, to discuss subjects of general human interest that may, or may not have an application to local affairs.'"; The history of the club (part 2 of 2): "This outline of its purpose has been carefully followed in its organization, and in all of its discussions. The membership has been made up entirely of people who have ideas of their own, and are perfectly willing that other men should have ideas, men who respect their own opinions, and who respect the opinions of others. The Club adopts no resolutions, endorses no public movements of any kind, discusses neither politics nor religion, has no dues, no club house, no rules nor by-laws, in short, is merely an aggregation of tolerant fellows who are willing to think and let think. The Sunset Club contains no drones. Each member is expected to say something occasionally, if nothing more than to make a motion or to offer a toast. Dress coats and personalities are not permissible. There is neither preaching nor long speeches. In short, like its famous namesake in Chicago, there is".

McKinley.; The procedures are as follows (part 1 of 2): "'No meanness-- no vituperation--Simply tolerant discussion and Rational Recreation' The Method of Procedure. The regular Club meetings are held once a month, usually the fourth Friday, the subject for the evening's discussion and the three principal speakers, who are to read prepared papers, having been previously selected by the program committee. Convening in the dining room of some popular café at sunset (6 o'clock), the members sit down to a previously ordered dinner, appetizingly spiced with bright conversation, which occupies two hours. At  eight o'clock, the meeting is called to order by the President, who announces the subject for discussion, and on this topic a principal paper of twenty to thirty minutes is read, followed by two shorter papers of five to ten minutes each, the latter usually presenting another view of the main question than that taken by the principal speaker, and then the subject is open for discussion by the Club members, and this usually brings out remarks from ten to fifteen gentlemen. At ten o'clock the meeting is closed by a few felicitous words from the President, and then the members adjourn."; The procedures (part 2 of 2): "Three consecutive absences constitute a notice of resignation, and the attendance has been from forty to fifty, which is a very high average in a club whose members are all prominent in the professional and commercial life of a very busy little city. The Club Officers. At the first meeting of the Club the following officers were elected, and they are still in service: President, Judge Enoch Knight; Vice-President, Charles Dwight Willard; Secretary, Fred I.
