As a delivery boy for a country grocer in McGregor, Iowa, he saved enough money to set out for Yale University, where he was graduated in 1876. A classmate of his great & good friend, Arthur Twining Hadley, now Yale's President Emeritus, Bannard served Yale as a member of the Corporation and as chairman of the successful 1927 campaign to raise $20,000,000.† In 1909, he, no politician, ran for Mayor of New York City at the urgent request of his Republican friends; he finished behind William J. Gaynor and ahead of William Randolph Hearst. His business monument is the New York Trust Co.
