cashier at the Farmers Bank in
Georgetown, sketched the develop
ment and value of the American
Institute of Banking for the mem
bers of the Georgetown-M Millsboro
Rotary Club at their meeting at
the Indian River Yacht Club last
Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Rust is now president of the
Sussex Chapter of the institute
and described it as ''the school
without campus"
He said that the institute was
originally merely an association
of bank clerks formed in 1900,
but that it developed into train
ing institute for bank employees,
with the first national convention
in Cleveland in 1903.
He explained that the member
ship grew to $4,000 by 1920 and
was now 154,563 with 1905 chap
ters including one in Alaska; 2,205
study groups and an enrolment of
$4,000 in study courses.
The Sussex Chapter was formed
more than seven years ago, pro-
NOTED by Marshall Tyndall.
In conclusion, Mr.. Rust said, ct
gives me a great feeling of pride
to belong to such great banking
educational system through which
we may better serve all of you.''
