PEOPLE IN H&S H&S Railroad Man Russell D.Tipton His grandfather was a railway postal clerk and his father worked in the traffic department of the old Hocking Valley Railroad in Ohio, later merged with the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. It seems only natural then, that Russell D.

The chairman of the accounting department at OSU, a man named Jacob Taylor, arranged with Clifford Scovill, H&S partner and manager of the personnel department, to send Harry Wey-rich and Bill Royer to work for Haskins & Sells in New York on a trial basis. It was agreed that if the internship idea worked it would be extended in subsequent years. Obviously things worked out well, for partner Harry Weyrich is now in the Executive Office with more than thirty-six years with the Firm and partner Bill Royer served twenty-three years before his death in 1958. The year after the internship program started, the University decided to send twelve to fifteen undergraduates to intern with four or five of the major accounting firms. Russ Tipton remem- 14
