This report shows that the following eight candidates have passed with grades of 75 or higher in all four of the subjects required by law, and have, therefore, qualified for the certificate: H. T. Scovill, Urbana Norman J. Lenhart, Chicago A. J. Morin, Chicago Chester C. Hand, Evanston Milton L. Allen, Melrose Park Raymond H. Bangs, Freeport F. W. Nelson, Peoria Clifford C. Chester, Chicago The candidates are named in the order of their rank in the examination. The total number of candidates taking the examination in all four subjects was 25. You will note that eight of these, or 32%, passed. Ten others, or 40%, passed in either two or three of the four subjects, and are thus entitled under our new rule to sit for only two subjects or one subject in the next examination. In all, 72% of the candidates achieved something to their credit. There were six other candidates who passed in either two subjects or three subjects in the examination of December, 1917, and wrote in May only on the two subjects or one subject that remained. Four of these passed the remaining subjects. I am withholding the name of one of these four men because of a question on the score of his moral character which has been raised since he was admitted to this examination; I shall give you a special report on his case a little later. The other three men of this group are entitled to the certificate: Homer L. Miller, Chicago E. C. Rayson, Champaign E. W. Wood, Cicero I beg leave to ask you, on behalf of the Committee on Accountancy, to authorize me to issue the certificate of Certified Public Accountant to the eleven men named in the foregoing paragraphs. Very sincerely yours,

C. M. MCCONN

Secretary, Committee on Accountancy

These recommendations of the Committee on Accountancy were approved.
