Abstract
A panel discussion on The Past, Current, and Future of the Massachusetts Society of CPAs will be presented at the Northeast Regional American Accounting Association Meeting of April 20-22, 2000. In preparation and in addition to my work on Harvey S. Chase, an early founder of the Massachusetts Society, I have reviewed the nineteenth century Boston City Directories at the Boston Public Library. The intent of this review was to include Boston into a work done by A. C. Littleton in 1942 on New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia accountants. Professor A. C. Littleton of the University of Illinois is, perhaps, the most recognized writer of the accounting history in the United States. Littleton wrote Directory of Early American Public Accountants as Bulletin No. 62 of the University of Illinois' Bureau of Economic and Business Research. The article was reprinted in 1988 in Stephen A. Zeff's The U.S. Accounting Profession in the 1890s and Early 1900s.
