Accounting Odyssey, B. G. Harrison Mar 1981

Accounting Odyssey, B. G. Harrison

Accounting Historians Notebook

In the fall 1980 edition of the Accounting Historians Notebook, Professor Louis Goldberg gave an affirmative answer to the question "Did Accounting Antedate Writing?" which had been raised in the Spring issue. He cited the work of Professor V. Gordon Childe to show that the original need for accounting records led to the invention of the earliest system of writing. May I suggest that there is a sequel to this already remarkable discovery, for it appears that accounting also contributed significantly to the development of more sophisticated systems of writing similar to those in use today.

Income Tax In The United States Prior To The Sixteenth Amendment, William D. Wallace Oct 1980

Income Tax In The United States Prior To The Sixteenth Amendment, William D. Wallace

Accounting Historians Notebook

The issue of taxation has been the subject of debate since the establishment of the thirteen colonies. Citizens have consistently disapproved of being taxed (once to the extent of going to war about taxation, among other issues). To be taxed was viewed as being forced to give up a portion of the taxpayer's wealth. However, the philosophy stated by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. ("Taxes are the price we pay for civilization.") prevailed with the enactment of the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913.

Newlove who was its Dean. The material for this story comes from a review of the School's Catalogs and from the recollections of Dr. G. H. Newlove himself.

Profile: William Holmes; William Holmes, Anthony T. Krzystofik

Accounting Historians Notebook

In May of 1979 William Holmes, a member of the Academy and member of the editorial board of the Accounting Historians Journal, passed away in Hingham, Massachusetts. The expression that one is "a gentleman and a scholar" is often loosely used and so that its appropriate significance is lost. However, in the case of William Holmes the expression is not only appropriate, but most deserving.

Reflections On International Research In Accounting: Vintage 1950, S. Paul Garner Mar 1980

Reflections On International Research In Accounting: Vintage 1950, S. Paul Garner

Accounting Historians Notebook

The principal purpose of this brief item is to furnish 1980 accounting researchers, now in generous number throughout the world, with a modest perspective on how far accounting research has come in slightly less than 30 years, based on the compilation of Professor Bray in his little booklet of 1952 and 1953. Evidently he had thought about the preparation of the Register for some years. He obviously also had to have a rather wide ranging correspondence and knowledge of accounting research in many countries, in order to undertake the writing of the manuscript for his printed work. As contrasted with …
