THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ITS FIRST TWENTY YEARS 1886 - 1906 (Reorganized in 1916 as American Institute of Accountants) Compiled by Norman E. Webster Chairman Committee on History (Incorporated under the Laws and Statutes of the State of New York) AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ACCOUNTANTS 270 Madison Avenue, New York 1954 Copyright, 1954 by American Institute of Accountants FOREWORD Mankind has always had a healthy curiosity about its past. Without knowing how we got where we are, it is difficult to avoid repetition of earlier mistakes or to plan intelligently for the future. The past is a guide to the future. History is useful not only to satisfy our curiosity, but to help us adjust to the present environment. This history of the first twenty years of the earliest national organization of professional public accountants in the United States should be of interest to everyone concerned with the adaptation of the accounting profession to its social environment. It shows that the organized profession of public account­ ing in the United States has attained a respectable age. In fact the American Association of Public Accountants was organized only nine years later than the American Bar Association. A book of this kind also serves to remind us how much we all owe to the pioneers who started from scratch. Without the advantage of experience and precedent they began the job of building a new profession. How successful they were we now know. This history shows us the beginning of many things that some of us may now take for granted. It may also indicate a trend of events and policies which may be projected into the future. For many reasons a reading of these pages should be rewarding. I wish to acknowledge the gratitude of the American Institute of Accountants to those responsible for the production of this work, particularly Norman Webster who carried most of the burden.

From one viewpoint the latter name, under which it has op­ erated since 1916, may indicate a distinct organization. But all members of the Association were eligible for membership in the Institute and most accept­ ed it so there was almost no change in the personnel. And the continuity was recognized and emphasized in 1937 when the present Institute celetrated the 50th Anniversary of the incorporation of the early Association.

On November 14, 1978, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the prop:::>sed designation as a I.andmark of the Metrop:::>li tan Club Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 9). The hearing was continued to January 9, 1979 (Item No. 2) . Poth hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. At the t'MJ hearings one witness sp:::>ke in favor of designation and several letters in support of designation ~re read into the record. There were no speakers in opp:::>sition to designation. The l'Etrop:::>litan Club has expressed reservations al:out the designation. Hearings on this item had been held previously by the Commission in 1966 and 1967. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Described by the 19th-century architectural historian Montgomery Schuyler as "the largest, :rrost imposing, and :rrost luxurious of the club-houses of New York'' the Metrop:::>litan Club Building was designed by Stanford White, a partner in the firm of McKim, Mead & White, and was built between 1892 and 1894.~ Executed on a grand scale in a restrained Italian Renaissance manner, the building incorporated the prestige and dignity of the Club's founding members. !-len's clubs were a well-established tradition in early New York.

A VALUABLE HOBBY The Knickerbocker Club played baseball at Hoboken's "Elysian Fields" on October 6, 1845. That game appears to be the first recorded by an American newspaper. This Currier & Ives lithograph, which is online via the Library of Congress, depicts the Elysian Fields. As the nineteenth century moved into its fourth decade, Alexander Cartwright wrote rules for the Knickerbockers, an amateur New York City baseball club. Those early rules (which were adopted on the 23rd of September, 1845) provide a bit of history (perhaps accurate, perhaps not) for the “Recently Invented Game of Base Ball.” For many years the games of Townball, Rounders and old Cat have been the sport of young boys. Recently, they have, in one form or another, been much enjoyed by gentlemen seeking wholesome American exercise. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright and other members of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York codified the unwritten rules of these boys games into one, and so made the game of Base Ball a sport worthy of attention by adults. We have little doubt but that this gentlemanly pastime will capture the interest and imagination of sportsman and spectator alike throughout this country. Within two weeks of adopting their rules, members of the Knickerbocker Club played an intra-squad game at the Elysian Fields (in Hoboken, New Jersey).

Walk with FRIENDS as we tour some of the cultural and architectural sites that make the Upper East Side such a distinctive place. From elegant apartment houses and mansions to more modest brownstones and early 20th-century immigrant communities, the Upper East Side boasts a rich history and a wonderfully varied built legacy. With this guide in hand, immerse yourself in the history and architecture of this special corner of New York City. We hope you become just as enchanted by it as we are. FRIENDS’ illustrated Architectural and Cultural Map and Guide includes a full listing of all of the Upper East Side’s 131 Individual Landmarks. You can find the location of these architectural gems by going to the map on pages 2-3 of the guide and referring to the numbered green squares. In the second section of the guide, we will take you through the history and development of the Upper East Side’s seven Historic Districts, and the not landmarked, though culturally and architecturally significant neighborhood of Yorkville. FRIENDS has selected representative sites that we feel exemplify each district’s unique history and character. Each of the districts has its own color-coded map with easy-to-read points that can be used to find your own favorite site, or as a self-guided walking tour the next time you find yourself out strolling on the Upper East Side.
