Morison, Boston Membership Robert G. Chapman, Los Angeles Promotion and Public Relations Doren D. Vest, Washington Research Planning Robert Beyer, New York THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT I would like to report briefly on some of the activities of your Officers, Executive Committee and National Board during 1965 -66. Substantial growth and improvements were realized in the following areas: • The Future —The historic character of the accounting profession, and the role of the management accountant in business enterprise is changing rapidly. To insure that our goals, objectives, and organization are attuned to these changes, a long range planning effort was initi- ated by the appointment of a special committee chaired by Past National President, I. Wayne Keller. This special committee has been requested to: --- Consider the economic, social, governmental and technical changes expected to take place in the next 10 and 15 years which will affect the nature and character of the role and responsibilities of the management accountant. — Consider the implications of such changes on the mission and role of the National Association of Accountants, recommending to the Executive Com- mittee and National Board steps required to adapt Association goals, services, and organization to them. The findings and recommendations of this special committee are expected to have a profound impact on the character and future course of our organization. • Educational Activities —A new and expanded pro- gram of educational conferences was successfully launched. In the fall and spring programs, 61 separate conferences were held in four cities, providing a flexible choice of locations, subjects and types of conferences. Designed to reflect the need of an increasingly complex technology and business environment, this program will be revised and updated annually. This Continuing Education Program supports one of the principal goals of the Association, an awareness of the need for mem- bers to maintain their technical competency. • Publications —The "new look" in NAA publications has surely been apparent to all of you. A new logo, or ■ 1 ■ symbol, (such as the one on the cover of this report) is now being used on all printed matter produced by the Association. MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING, the new name of our technical publication, more accurately reflects its contents, and the addition of color and the re- design of the cover make it more attractive. Similar changes in the NAA news magazine reflect the desire of your officers and directors to publish educational, interesting —yet attractive magazines. ('hapters —The number of chapters increased to 203 as a result of a chapter expansion program and a revised organizational policy. As the year ended, five new charters were approved, effective July 1, 1966, and other organizational committees have begun making surveys of their areas. It is expected that the impetus received during the year will result in at least 215 chapters by the end of 1966 -67. The new Warner Trophy was awarded for the first time to the winner of the competition for chapters with 100 members or less. This group of chapters is steadily growing in number, and already improvements are apparent in the quality of member service activities as a result of the new rivalry. • Membership —I am proud to report that the member- ship of the Association reached a new high, reaffirming the position of NAA as the largest accounting associa- tion in the world. At June 30, 1966, there were more than 58,000 members. But we know the potential is even greater —there are some 500,000 accountants in the United States alone! . Public Relations —Our publicity activity at the na- tional level was very successful. Press coverage of the addresses at the Annual Conference in New York was much more extensive than in the past. In addition, The New York Times featured a special article on the conference, highlighting the unconventional aspects of a convention that caters to the whole family. Research —A new basic research study, Concepts for 2 Management Accounting, was at the printers as the year ended, and will be available to members in August 1966. Other projects are in progress, including a newly approved project which covers the problem definition phase of the total Integrated Management Information Systems study. Finance —Our financial position is sound, as can be seen from the following pages. The surplus of $90,900 from our year's operations is gratifying. However, a large portion of this surplus results from underspending for printing and distribution of research reports —a timing variance which will have an unfavorable impact on future years' operating results. Reports from our standing and special committees follow, except for the Special Committee on Long Range Objectives whose initial report is not yet complete. This is necessarily a summary of the Association's many activities. Space does not permit a full account of the many national committee meetings nor of the visits of national officers and staff to chapters. Their work in large part goes unheralded but the results can be clearly seen in improved services, more efficient chapter admin- istration and increased esprit de corps. To the Chairmen of these committees, the National Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, the National Officers and the Staff headed by Executive Director Rawn Brinkley, my sincere thanks for their cooperation, effort and a job well done. It has been an exciting time to be involved in the affairs of NAA. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served as your 46th President. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. President 3 ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENT Continuing Education Program The NAA technical education program has always been based on the premise that members' education must continue throughout their lifetimes or they will fall by the wayside. To more aptly reflect this idea the Committee on Accounting Development recommended and the National Board approved a change in name of the technical program to Continuing Education Program. As redesigned, the Association's Continuing Education Program will feature a series of education courses and ,seminars in major cities of the country. This program will provide opportunities for discussing current develop- ments and exchanging ideas, experiences and practice. It is hoped that it will serve each member as a cornerstone of competence ... and as a catalyst for change. The increase in conference participation over past years shows that this program is steadily gaining stature. Steps were taken to insure that more members are made aware of the program through promotion at the chapter level. These steps are outlined in the report of the Committee on Chapters. Chapter Educational Program Response from chapter officers and directors indicates that the member participation meeting concept, introduced June 1, 1965, has achieved approval of members. These meetings, together with the seven monthly chapter tech- nical meetings, will be continued. The Committee on Accounting Development also suggested that increased interchange of information among chapters concerning technical programs should be encouraged. Dr. James S. Lanham, Director of NAA Educational Services, presents Michael Tyran with Lybrand Gold Medal Award certificate for top manuscript published i n 1965 -66. Scene at the Annual Conferenc e in New York as one of the tec hni c al sessions got under w ay. Publications The National Board approved the use of a uniform Certificate of Recognition by chapters to express their appreciation to members participating in the manuscript activity. Educational Activities Steps were taken to encourage chapter participation in educational activities at the local level. The student publication service activity will be given more emphasis. Under this special program, NAA offers to provide copies Of MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING for a nominal fee to interested students during the school year. Accounting Careers Council Participation by NAA chapters in the activities of the Accounting Careers Council increased substantially again this year. Reports from local controls indicate that NAA is one of the most active organizations involved in ACC, which is jointly sponsored by leading accounting and financial organizations. Among other activities the ACC: • Established a national central distribution office for literature on accounting careers at the University of Notre Dame. • Began distribution

I am a Senior at St. John’s Prep, and I will serve as your chair for the Massachusetts House of Representatives on Railway Service. I have been involved in Model UN at the Prep for 5 years. Outside of Model UN, I am on the SJP Tennis Team, an Eagles’ Wings Leader, a member of Spire Society, a member of the National Honor Society, and a member of the Chinese National Honor Society. The topic of Railway Service has really fascinated me, since my father is an executive in the FTA (Federal Transit Administration), which is part of the DOT (Department of Transportation), and he has been my inspiration for my research into this topic. Also, I am a frequent passenger on the “T” and Commuter Rail (as well as commuter rail and subway services in many different cities such as Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and Montreal). Thus, I recommend that you read through this paper as well as to do your own research on the frequency, extension, and public trust in the Greater Boston Railway Service. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns! I will be happy to assist you, and I look forward to meeting you in December!

  • Massachusetts Route 128, to Determine the Relationship Between Roadway Economic Development and Development of the Road
    MASSACHUSETIS ROUTE 128: A NONEMULATIVE ENIGMA Don Levitan, Center for Public Management, Suffolk University The objective of this paper is to examine the history of one of the first urban circumferential highways, Massachusetts Route 128, to determine the relationship between roadway economic development and development of the road. This economic development has long been thought to be directly related to the advent of the roadway. Therefore, many people have felt that similar economic attributes would follow construction of a similar roadway in an urban area. The results of this research tend to obviate that concept. The research covered the years 1925 through 1965 because initial construction occurred around 192 5 and "completion" and widening (in several locations) had occurred by 1965. Furthermore, by 1965 substantial economic development had taken place along the highway. The results of this investigation indicated that the initial economic develop­ ment along the roadway may be ascribed to previous events (antecedent development) and as such was a continuation of earlier processes. Thus the possibility exists that this initial economic development would have occurred without the construction of the road. Economic development as­ sociated with this roadway was concluded to be part of the developmental forces operating in the Boston urban area rather than as a benefit from the roadway itself. •MASSACHUSETTS Route 128 is a limited-access circumferential highway encircling the Boston metropolitan area. When originally conceived, it was not considered a factor in the economic growth of the metropolitan area; its initial function was to link suburban communities while bypassing Boston proper. The purpose of this paper is to examine the history o! this roadway and in so doing to show that the economic development of the roadway did not follow any grand plan but was a fortuitous product of the general pattern of urban development.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Radlometrlc Ages on File In the Radlometrlc Age Data Bank (RADB) of Rocks from Massachusetts by Robert E. Zartman and Richard F. Marvin Open-File Report 87-170 Thfs report Is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and strati graphic nomenclature Denver, Colorado 80225 Radlometrlc Ages on File In the Radlometrlc Age Data Bank (RADB) of Rocks from Massachusetts Robert E. Zartman and Richard F. Marvln This Open-File Report contains the records of radlometrlc ages for Massachusetts from the Radlometrlc Age Data Bank of the U.S. Geological Survey. These data were compiled for use In the assignment of ages to rock units portrayed on a new bedrock geologic map of Massachusetts (Zen, 1983). The compilation Is believed to document all radlometrlc ages on samples from the state that have appeared In the published scientific literature through the year 1986. Most of the Information contained herein Is self -explanatory, although the reader Is advised to consult the User's Guide to the Radlometrlc Age Data Bank (Zartman and others, 1976) In order to fully understand the construction of the record. For brevity, certain material Is entered on the record In coded format, and to facilitate the reading of this report, crucial code listings are Included as an appendix. Also, repetition of full literature references has been avoided by giving those citations only at the end of the report keyed to the reference number contained on each record. All radlometrlc ages contained In this compilation have been recalculated to common values of the decay constants (Stelger and Jager, 1977) regardless of the usage of the original authors.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part o f the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
