The Customs of the Place

The Constitution of The Coffee House is probably the most compact and sensible code of governance ever drafted by a social club.  It consists of  a half-dozen Commandments only:  

  1. No officers
  2. No charge accounts
  3. No liveries
  4. No tips
  5. No Set Speeches
  6. NO RULES  

—The Coffee House remains a social club, one in which members are expected to talk about their individual pursuits and interests but to refrain from spreading out business papers and signing documents.
