Accounting History Hobbies; My Old Books, Perry Beckerman

Accounting Historians Notebook

I began my collection of old accounting books in 1978 when my wife took me into a small antique store in New Hope, Pennsylvania. While she was looking at furniture I browsed through some old books and came across a copy of A Practical System of Bookkeeping by Ira Mayhew, published in 1855. I was intrigued by this small volume and purchased it. This led to my starting a collection of accounting and bookkeeping books published prior to 1900.

Accounting Historians Notebook

Dr. Peter McMickle is a professor of accounting at Memphis State University, but his major claim to fame is his avocation rather than his vocation. Pete McMickle is best known for having accumulated what is; probably the world's finest collection of rare and historic accounting books. His collection of rare books now exceeds 800 volumes. Many members of the Academy have observed portions of Pete's collection as he has manned the Academy's booth at the American Accounting Association meetings in recent years and brought along several of his rare volumes.

One Page In The Life Of A President, Kenneth Oswald Elvik

Accounting Historians Notebook

Herbert C. Hoover, along with an older brother and younger sister became orphaned and thereafter raised in the homes of relatives. From Hoover's memoirs we find that relatives were glad to take in the children, but that an acquaintance was named legal guardian in order to avoid any implication of manipulation of the estate. The estate, by no means large even in those days, was made up of proceeds from insurance and from the sale of the implement business and their home. It is the accounting for Herbert Hoover's share of that estate that is of interest because here we …

Accounting Historians Notebook

Accountancy owes much to those dedicated persons who, during the formative years, perceived it to be a dynamic profession rather than a technical skill. This paper recalls one such person, Warren W. Nissley. Born in Middletown, Pennsylvania in 1893, his career in accounting spanned approximately thirty years. At his untimely death on January 17, 1950, Nissley was within reach of the pinnacle of success at Arthur Young 8c Company. His influence on accountancy had been considerable and had he lived, it would undoubtedly have been even greater.

Henry Sweeney And Stabilized Accounting, Walker Eugene Fesmire Mar 1982

Henry Sweeney And Stabilized Accounting, Walker Eugene Fesmire

Accounting Historians Notebook

Since the mid-1960's, inflation has been exacting a heavy toll from American business and the American Public. During this period, the Accounting profession has studied the problem of price-level changes and has issued many pronouncements upon the subject. Thus, the public assumes that the theory of handling price-level changes is a recent development. This is an incorrect view as accounting theorists were concerned with and were writing about the problem as far back as 1920. One of these early individuals, who considered price-level accounting in depth, was Henry Sweeney. This article will present a brief biographical sketch of Sweeney encompassing …

Origins Of Accounting And Writing, Douglas Garbutt Oct 1981

Origins Of Accounting And Writing, Douglas Garbutt

Accounting Historians Notebook

A definitive answer to Louis Goldberg's question Did accounting antedate writing? must depend on conclusive definitions of what is meant by both accounting and writing. It is doubtful whether universally acceptable definitions of either will ever be established. Thus, the question may be as unanswered as it is interesting!

Profile: Learned Hand; Learned Hand, Tonya K. Flesher

Accounting Historians Notebook

Contributions to accounting theory and knowledge have come from a vast variety of sources both from within and outside the accounting profession. One individual who deserves recognition for his work was a member of the legal profession, Judge Learned Hand. An analysis of Hand's judicial opinions should add much to the study of accounting and tax history and in turn to educational objectives.

Carman G. Blough: A Personal Profile, William D. Cooper

Accounting Historians Notebook

The only time I met Carman G. Blough was March 29, 1979, in Bridgewater, Virginia. Two months before, I telephoned him to arrange the meeting for I was beginning work on my dissertation noting the contributions of Blough. I felt the intervening time would be adequate to organize the dissertation and to formulate questions. However, as I began studying Mr. Blough's writings, I found myself overpowered by the breadth and depth of his experiences. From 1935 to 1961 Blough held a series of important positions, each demanding unique skills and abilities. Starting with his appointment as Chief Accountant (1935-1938) to …

After three years of effort, no final decision has been taken on even the first pan of the original charge to the committee. Since a coding scheme must be accepted by the members of the Academy before further work can be done, the last three parts of the charge have been largely ignored. It is essential that some resolution of this task be made, as quickly as possible.
