We have come a long way;

              I am sure that anyone connected with
Haskins & Sells can appreciate the mix­ture
of feelings I have as I assume the
responsibilities of managing partner of
the Firm.
There is, first of all, a deep sense of
gratitude to the many people who have
made this organization what it is today.
The founders started Haskins & Sells
seventy-five years ago on the strength
of their enterprise and superior skill
in a profession that was groping for
recognition. As the years went on, these
men and those they gathered around
them proved their professional excel­lence.
As they did so, they attracted
both clients and fresh professional
talent. Our predecessors built soundly
and well. As they prospered, they care­fully
prepared for orderly succession
by the next generation. The organiza­tion
they bequeathed to us enjoys a
great reputation, and for this we of a
later day shall always be in their debt.
There is also a feeling of awe at
assuming this responsibility, given the
magnitude of our Firm's operations and
the nature of our times. We are a large,
complex organization, and we are
growing each year. With our increasing
number of practice offices, the growth
of our staff and the expanding scope
and complexity of the services we are
WE HAVE
COME A LONG WAY
