'51, Republican Senator from Vermont, gave the commencement address on "Business as a Social Service." He said, in part:

"The strong, binding, enduring element in our capitalism is its correspondence with the moral law, however limited that correspondence may be. It matters not whether the recognition of the moral law comes to the businessman by revelation, by intelligence, or by trial and error. By whatever route it arrives, it works ....

"As you go out from here, you will fortunately find in business a greater acceptance of the basic principles of success in human relations than the world has ever before known. Move, therefore, intelligently and confidently."
