My hope is that these acknowledgements, brief though they be, will be recognized as reflecting the abiding sense of gratitude they convey: To the Arthur Andersen Foundation for finan- cial support; To the members of my supervisory committee, Dr. Ralph H. Blodgett, Dr. Robert E. Nelson, Dr. Joseph M. Perry and Dr. Jack R. Vernon; To the staffs of the University library (Messrs. J. R. Jones and S. L. Butler), the AICPA library (Mrs. K. Michaelsen) , and the Price, Waterhouse & Company library (Rosemary Demerest and Ann Alexanian) ; To Professors H. T. Deinzer, N. R. Kaylor and W. Woodruff, who led me to develop a sense of inquiry, a desire for self-fulfillment and an appreciation of history; To Professors G. L. Harris, J. J. Klein, W. A. Paton and Messrs. A. B. Foye and J. W. Queenan, whose first hand knowledge of the times of this study aided in developing a relevant outlook; To Professors R. P. Brief and S. A.

IN THIS ISSUE Our Tenth Annual Convention.... 1374 This bulletin is published semi - monthly by the National Association of Cost Accountants, 26 West 44th St., New York OUR TENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION EVEN hundred members and guests of N. A. C. A. assembled S at West Baden Springs to participate in the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Association. The terrific heat, which was general throughout the country, was very much in evidence but even that failed to wilt the well known spirit of N. A. C. A. which was much in evidence both during the working and playing hours. The registration included representatives from thirty -four of our thirty -seven chapters and embraced members and guests from all parts of the United States and several foreign countries. It is impossible in this brief report which must be hurriedly pre- pared to catch the July 15 Bulletin to give any sort of an accurate picture of West Baden or to record the impressions of this our most unique and probably our most valuable convention. The judgment of our National Board in deciding to hold the tenth anni- versary at West Baden Springs was more than justified by the results. Healthful recreation, delightful surroundings and a splen- did program combined to make a convention we shall long remem- ber as one of the high points of N. A. C. A. history. The first day of the meeting, Monday, June 17, was the usual "get- acquainted" day.
