"Marriner S. Eccles stands among the most respected and admired citizens in the history of the state of Utah and the United States of America - an entrepreneur who profoundly influenced the business and economic life of his home state and the entire nation in the 20th century. A son of pioneering Utah industrialist David Eccles and his wife, Ellen Stoddard Eccles, he rose with keen intellect and entrepreneurial zeal to become an illustrious businessman and banker of historic dimension, playing a vital role in delivering the nation from the Great Depression, leading the financial system through the upheavals of World War II, and establishing monetary policies and keystones of the U.S. Financial system upon which the nation still relies today." - University of Utah
