SIR ALEXANDER'S APPOINTMENT.
While during its two centuries of existence theprogress of the Royal Bank of Scotland has been well maintained throughout, there has probably seldom, if ever, been a period during which greater progress, combined with sound manage- ment, has been more marked than during the years in which the present Cashier and General Manager, Sir Alexander Kemp Wright, has filled the position of chief officer of the bank. Indeed, the unique character of his services has now been recognized by the fact that he has been elected to the Board, which I believe is the first time in the history of this old-established bank that one of its officers has been invited to a seat on the Court. In this case the honour is well merited, both by the services rendered by Sir Alexander Wright to Isis bank and also by the part which he has played in national affairs, and particularly in aiding the thrift move- mcnt during the War.
