Every such director shall, within 30 days after his election, take and subscribe, in duplicate, an oath that he will diligently and honestly perform his duties as such director, not knowingly violate or permit to be violated any provision of the banking law of this state and that he is the owner in good faith of the shares of stock of the bank or company required to qualify him for such office, standing in his own name on its books.
