MORALS IN TRADE AND COMMERCE A LECTURE BY FRANK B. ANDERSON President of The Bank of California National Association DELIVERED BEFORE THE STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY February 15th, 1911 Under the “Barbara Weinstock” Foundation 3 MORALS IN TRADE AND COMMERCE The most beautiful thing about youth is its power and eagerness to make ideals, and he is unfortunate who goes out into the world without some picture of services to be rendered, or of a goal to be attained. There are very few of us who, at some time or another, have not cherished these ideals, perhaps secretly and half ashamed as though to us alone had come an inspiration of a career that should touch the pulses of the world and leave it better than we found it.
