Excerpt from University of Cincinnati Record; March 1, 1906, Vol. 2: A College of Commerce for Cincinnati When we advocate Commercial Schools for our young man hood, it is because we wish them to do better than their fathers, better than their neighbors, better than other nations which are running us hard in the race for wealth, which are competing with us on our own ground, or in our own Colonies, and driving us slowly but steadily out of our privileged hunting grounds. It is because we don't want the clerk necessarily to remain a clerk, and because we want the sons of our merchants and mahatao taters to enter their father's business with a wider vision, with a more complete mental outfit, and with greater power andfacility of close reckoning, so that they may not only be able to continue their father's business but to improveand extend it, to make it more fruitful, to take advantage of the latest improve ments and inventions of international communications, and so prevent the business from passing over to our rivals in other countries as a consequence of the superior knowledge which they bring to bear upon that particular branch of trade or commerce.
