Message from the president [1982, Vol. 5, no. 1]

              MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Since its first meeting in Quebec City in 1973,
the Academy of Accounting Historians has enjoyed
nine years of successful development. Increasingly
its publications, programs, and conferences reflect
the high standards of scholarship required of an
organization concerned to promote research and
teaching. Undoubtedly the Academy shall
continue to maintain high standards for its work.
To help assure this, a committee consisting of
Ashton Bishop, Ed Coffman, Jim Gaertner, Gary
Previts, Al Roberts, and Williard Stone is now
evaluating the Academy's publishing activities. I
look forward as chairman of this committee to
receiving its recommendations. I also look forward
to seeing many of you at the Academy's annual
business meeting and accounting history sessions in
San Diego in August. Gary Previts has organized a
fine program for the accounting history sessions at
the American Accounting Association's annual
meetings. Dale Fleshcr's detailed description of the
San Diego meetings is included in this Notebook.
Should you have ideas about the activities of the
Academy of Accounting Historians, please let me
hear from you. I may be reached until June 30th at
Western Washington University. On July 1st, I
move to a new position as Director of the School of
Business and Public Administration at The
University of Puget Sound in Tacoma,
Washington. 98416.
H. Thomas Johnson
President
