Abstract

On behalf of Peter McMickle and myself, I am very happy and honored to thank the Academy for its awarding us the 1988 Hourglass Award. As our experience could be helpful to you in perhaps trying a similar project, I'd like to relate the milestones of the book, The Origins of a Great Profession. It is an example of what might be called "Celebration Accounting." Since there are many celebrations coming in the next few years: Columbian 500 in 1992; NAA 75 in 1994; Summa 500 in 1994; and CPA 100 in 1996, for instance, perhaps the relating of our experiences can alleviate some fears of doing a longer-type project.
