Ife next became Vice President of the National City Bank and then President, a post which he occupied until 1919. His two decades at the National City Bank included the Panic of 1907, the Aldrich Report, the beginning of the Federal Reserve System and the financing of World War I, Because Mr. Vanderlip was an intelligent and articulate banker and a student of banking reform, his papers have great value for students of banking and monetary reform in his period.
