54 HASKINS & SELLS July Mr. Sells Honored RE C E N T Bulletins of the American Institute of Accountants contained an announcement that an Elijah W. Sells scholarship has been established by a number of Mr. Sells' friends in the Institute. The i n come of the fund is to be devoted to a prize for which all candidates at the American Institute annual May examinations will be eligible, which prize will be awarded to the candidate receiving the highest grade. There is an element of sentiment surrounding this act on the part of Mr. Sells' friends which is somewhat difficult to define and express. It is a formal manifestation of the love and affection in which Mr. Sells is held by the men with whom he was associated in Institute matters over a long period of years. Somewhat unique in that it honors with a foundation, contrary to the usual practice, a person still living, the act is therefore the more marked in its significance. Some idea of Mr. Sells' reaction to the announcement, which first came to his attention through the medium of the Institute Bulletin, may be gleaned from the following telegram which he sent to Mr. Edward E. Gore, President of the American Institute of Accountants: "The paragraph in the Institute Bulletin April twenty-third relating to a scholarship in my name overwhelms me with pride and satisfaction personally and professionally. I wish I could express to you and the members of the council the deep gratitude I feel for the signal honor bestowed. It has sealed the personal affection for those whom I have held in highest esteem these many years and given me renewed professional inspiration for the cause in which we all have a mutual interest and great responsibility. ELIJAH W. SELLS."
