A banker, a farmer—travelers both So versatile are our two presidents that the old rhyme of a banker, a lawyer, a merchantman, a chief seems rather aptly to fit them. Heber J. Grant, president of the Church of which we are a part, is well known m banking and finance circles throughout the nation. Our own president Franklin S. Harris (below) was, before his presidency, an agronomist and soils expert by profession. Both have held numerous civic and industrial positions. And both for years hove been world commuters. Within the past year President Grant has returned from an extended tour of Europe and has been called upon to preside at the dedication of church chapels in every corner of the United States. President Harris has been present at church and educational functions as far south as Mexico and as far north as Canada. For leadership, for noble example, we cherish their association and words of inspiration. 13
