Accounting Historians Notebook

Paul F. Grady is recognized in accounting history as a practitioner, a researcher, a scholar, and a public servant, (Previts, September, 1986); indeed, he epitomized the accounting professional.

According To Hoyle, United States Playing Card Company, Alfred Robert Roberts

Accounting Historians Notebook

Some four decades before the American Revolution, there existed in London a number of coffee houses in which the gentry and merchant classes gathered to sip chocolate and coffee, to talk, and to play Whist, the increasingly popular card game destined to be the forerunner of Auction and Contract Bridge and other trump games of the partnership family. One of the habitues of the Crown Coffee House on Bedford Row was Edmond Hoyle, a middle-aged lawyer. Hoyle became so proficient at Whist that he decided to teach it and forego the practice of law.

In Defense Of The Old Way Of Teaching Elementary Accounting, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch Oct 1993

In Defense Of The Old Way Of Teaching Elementary Accounting, Richard G.J. Vangermeersch

Accounting Historians Notebook

After a significant number of years away from teaching elementary accounting, I returned to this interesting phenomena. The devastating rebuke to the old way of teaching the basic courses by the Accounting Education Change Commission led me to rethink the old ways. This rebuke arrived with the 150 credit hour issue, a significant drop in the quantity of business majors, and a very noticeable decay in students' ability to focus arising from the noise generated by MTV, VCRs, and Walkmen. After this rethinking, I not only have returned to my old ways of teaching by the building block approach, but …

Scrip: The Alternative Unit-Of-Measure In Company Towns, Roxanne Therese Johnson Mar 1993

Scrip: The Alternative Unit-Of-Measure In Company Towns, Roxanne Therese Johnson

Accounting Historians Notebook

In the latter half of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, company stores essentially used an alternative unit-of-measure called scrip. Scrip was issued by the company as payment to the employees and was recognized within a particular geographic community as tender, a practice introduced, fostered, controlled, and often mandated by the company. Its purpose seems to have been to keep the individual tied to the company store. Scrip could take many forms, but it was always issued in lieu of cash.

Accountants' Writing Tools, Kenneth S. Most Mar 1993

Accountants' Writing Tools, Kenneth S. Most

Accounting Historians Notebook

Thanks to Professor Denise Schmandt-Besserat, we now believe that we understand the origins of writing, and accountants are eager to associate their art with early attempts to demonstrate accountability. Very little attention, however, has been devoted to the medium, as distinct from the message, and in particular, to the tools and materials accountants use. One hundred years ago an English journalist pronounced "In so far as the perfection of materials for writing is concerned, we may have little to hope for in this country." Paper and ink, he thought, were so perfectly adjusted to their purpose that it: was hard …

Accounting Procedures And Techniques In The Late Eighteen Hundreds, John S. Ribezzo

Accounting Historians Notebook

Upon browsing through a stack of books at a used book sale, I came upon the New Bryant & Stratton Counting-House Book-Keeping, copyright 1878. Out of curiosity, I purchased this book and placed it on my bookshelf for future reference. The textbook was written by Silas Packard for use in the curriculum of the chain of Bryant and Stratton Business Colleges. It was a revision of Bryant and Stratton's Counting-House Book-Keeping, first published in 1863. The curriculum of the college was designed to educate students in the field of Office Practices. Science of Accounts was the title of the core …

Newman T. Halvorson (1908-1992): A Memorial, Robert Bloom Mar 1993

Newman T. Halvorson (1908-1992): A Memorial, Robert Bloom

Accounting Historians Notebook

A native of Wisconsin, Halvorson graduated from the University of Wisconsin in Madison in 1930. Thereupon he began his career with Ernst & Ernst in Detroit. In 1954 he transferred to the national office of the firm in Cleveland and remained there until he retired in 1972. Modest and self-deprecating, he was the firm's principal technical partner, representing Ernst & Ernst on prominent professional accounting and auditing committees. As a member of the AICPA Committee on Accounting Procedure (1956-59), the Committee on Auditing Procedure (1963-65), and the Accounting Principles Board (1966-73), Halvorson had considerable influence on accounting policy. A loyal …
