MRS. JOHN H. BOVARD of Kansas

University, as a memorial to her brother, a
scholarship, to be supported by the above
named fund. The terms of the scholar­ship
provide that the income from the fund
shall be granted annually and the award
announced at the opening exercises of the
School of Commerce, Accounts and Fi­nance,
the income to be applied by the
University during the ensuing year to the
expenses of a student or prospective stud­ent
in the School of Commerce, who being
worthy and in need of financial assistance
shall have been designated by Haskins &

The McGinnies bill designed to regulate
the practice of accountancy in the state of
New York, after having passed both
houses of the last legislature, was vetoed
by Governor Smith on the grounds that
the measure tended to impose increasing
difficulties on young men who aspire to
enter the profession and that neither the
accountancy profession nor business con­cerns
needs further protection than the
present law affords.
