Guess who contest number ten

              GUESS WHO CONTEST NUMBER TEN
Contest Number Nine was apparently
of moderate difficulty as there were only
a few members who correctly identified
the photo of Basil S. Yamey. Basil S.
Yamey is a faculty member at the London
School of Economics and a Life Member
of the Academy of Accounting Historians.
The first non-North American to identify
Mr. Yamey was Ernest Stevelinck of
Belgium. Stevelinck called Yamey the best
accounting historian of the second part of
the twentieth century (he categorized
Raymond de Roover as the best historian
of the first half of the century).
The prize-winning entry from North
America was submitted by Sidney
Davidson, the Arthur Young
Distinguished Service Professor at the
University of Chicago. Terry Sheldahl of
Savannah, Georgia, also correctly
identified the photo of Yamey. Sheldahl
has submitted correct entries in eight of
the first nine Guess Who Contests.
Now, on to Contest No. 10. The picture
in this issue is of an American member of
the Academy of Accounting Historians.
The young individual in the picture has
authored several books and many articles.
The photo was taken during the 1950's.
If you are the first to send in the correct
identification, you will receive a valuable
prize. The prize is a copy of the Academy's
Monograph No. 4, entitled Selected
Papers from the Charles Waldo Haskins
Accounting History Seminars, This
monograph normally sells for $15.
As in past contests, there will actually
be two prizes awarded —one for the first
correct entry from North America and one
for the first correct entry postmarked
outside of North America. This policy
allows for the delay in the mail service of
foreign members. Officers and trustees of
Guess Who?
the Academy are encouraged to
participate, but are not eligible for prizes.
Put on your thinking caps and send your
entry to Dale L. Flesher at the editorial
address.
