The first Mais lecture, given by the Governor at the City University, London on 9 February 1978.
I must begin by saying what a privilege and pleasure it is for me to have been invited to inaugurate this new series of lectures in the field of banking and finance which are to take place annually at the City University. It is a fitting tribute to the energy and broad interests of Lord Mais, who in 1973 as Chancellor of this University and Lord Mayor launched the appeal for funds to set up this University's Centre for Banking and International Finance, that these lectures should bear his name.
