Timeless observations of Mr. Vanderlip quoted from an address to the American Bankers Association and included in the text of 'The Alexander Hamilton Institute's Modern Business - "Business and the Man" copywritten in 1918 and 1919: "There are times in the world which call men away from their personal and immediate interests. There are periods that compel them to think together of fundamental things. Surely the present is such a time. It seems almost idle to discuss the working of banking statutes when we can discern, even tho dimly, the working of great laws in the statute book of human nature and society, whose action is so fundamental and important as to make our men-made laws and their workings seem inconsequential in comparison. We are in a time when it is of the utmost inportance that we think socially and fundamentally. These are not days when we can give our thoughts exclusively to our business, to our immediate affairs. They are days that demand that we think nationally and internationally rather than individually or as a business class. We are confronted by an insistent need for comprehending fundamentals."
