President H. p. Faunce delivered an ad-
dress OF welcome, referring 20 the sig
niicance of the great gathering of distin.
Euished men and welcoming the delegates
to the university.
Address by Prof. jerks.
Prof. ]. w. jerks OF Cornell university,
president Of the American Economic asso-
citation, delivered the annual address, his
subject being THE Modern Standard of
Business Honor"
Prof. jerks said:
The frequency of great fortunes gathered
perhaps legally, but IN ways felt 10 De
unjust, through the power Of monopoly,
have tended strongly TO obscure the moral
vision of many well-meaning men, who
have been thereby led to confound morality
with social righteousness, and their acts
have formed the excuse for many others to
| break laws which seem to them unjust;
The profit from an unjust though legal
| stock watering may well prove more de-
moralzing in business circles than the IL
| legal freight rebate which saves from ruin
! a grain shipper caught at disadvantage
In the way of remedy Prof. jerks sub
mitted that the state should make the con
! ditIons such that human nature would
not be tempted beyond its strength and
make and enforce laws which shall for
bid INSCRIPTIONS practices like the employ
ment OF child labor or the adulteration Of
| goods
| ut may seem tame and impotent con
! clusion," concluded Prof. jerks, that there
| is no legislative panacea for our business
| ills, and that upon us as individuals rests
! the responsibility for our Improvement. TIT
| justification for the conclusion is human
nature and the experience of the ages
| Judge Simeon E. Baldwin delivered th'
annual address as president of the Ameri-
can Historical association, his topic being
Religion Still the Key to History"
