Service Of A Department Store, Will Kiel

Its cost in sacrifice staggers the imagination, but it is a law of life that we cannot pay dearly without receiving a rich return. A new born realization of what it means to be a citizen of the world’s greatest republic is, perhaps, the most priceless thing that the great struggle has given to true Americans.

To quote Henry Dunning Macleod, the English lecturer and author, "What the steam engine is in mechanism, what the differential calculus is in mathematics, that is credit in commerce". Daniel Webster, the great American jurist and the statesman said, "Credit is the vital air …

The Foreign Debt Due The United States Government, Frank D. Winzenburg

Bachelors’ Theses

The era of sentimentalism among governments is past-- whatever may be said of idealism. The cold realities of the war have settled down upon every people. For ourselves we can not separate our motives and say: this we did in defense of rights contravened on the high seas--that we did to make the world "safe for democracy." The fighting is over, peace is declared, but the war remains with us in its costs and burdens, and will so remain for more than a generation. Every people knows this--some feel it far more sensibly than our own. Complete acceptance of the …

In such a sense a trust may be defined as an organization managed by a board of trustees to whom all the capital stock …

No Par Value Stock, Nathan Weinberg

Bachelors’ Theses

"Capital stock, whether of the type that represents all the assets of the corporation or the type that represents merely the residual equity after all other claims have been satisfied, involves two distinct ideas--a participation in the rights of ownership and a valuation in this anticipation. This latter is the par value. It is the less important. The stockholder can never collect, like the bondholder, the par value of his security from the corporation. Even though paid for in full and representing for a short time the full and actual value, the equality passes with the first business transaction, for …

Cost Accounts For The Contractor, Urban A. Pilon

Bachelors’ Theses

The author has selected the subject of Contractor's Cost Accounts because of the widely divergent opinions of those men who have written the few articles and books that are to be found on the subject, and because of the importance of this phase of accounting to the Contractor.

The author has, in his opinion, found most of the material written to be useless to the contractor because, while theoretically correct from an accounting standpoint, it is not practical enough to be put to use. There is either some essential part lacking, there is no check against error, or, as in …
