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. Zeff who provided valuable insights; To my parents for a "lift"; To Fran for her patience and Robbie for tolerance unusual in a five year-old; and finally de p vo fundi s , Deo gratias.
