Extract

When I was asked to speak about the relation of the business man to public affairs, it occurred to me that the subject should be touched upon at some central part of American history. In the shaping of our institutions, no period is more important than the years 1775 to 1797. And few will discount the contributions which were then made by Washington. The stamp of his influence appears at every significant point.
