Abstract

Early pioneers of the accounting profession devoted much of their energy toward two goals: legal recognition as a profession and a professional education for its members. During the first twenty years of this century, significant progress was made in achieving legal recognition, but the question of professional education continued to be a perplexing problem. The question continued to be posed: What knowledge is needed to prepare a person to enter the profession of accountancy? This paper is a review of some early efforts to answer the question and one effort in particular: the five-foot accounting shelf.
