REPORT ON OPERATION OF THE ACCOUNTANCY LAW OF 1 903

(15) B y act of the 54th General Assembly the administration of the law regulating the certification of public accountants was taken from under the charge of the University, where it had been for more than twenty years. I submit reports on this matter from Mr. G. P. Tuttle, Secretary of the Committee on Accountancy, and from Mr. Lloyd Morey, Comptroller. These reports review the work of the University in connection with the Accountancy Act and show the University's receipts and expenditures in connection therewith. I request that these reports be printed in the Minutes of the Board. THE UNIVERSITY AND THE ACCOUNTANCY ACT B y Act of the Legislature approved M a y 15, 1903, and in force July I, 1903, the University assumed the responsibility of examining and certifying public accountants in this State. B y Act of the Legislature effective October 1, 1925, the University's connection with this matter ceased. The Board of Trustees of the University on June 8, 1903, placed the supervision of all matters under the law in the hands of a Committee under the immediate supervision of the President of the University, and adopted rules for the conduct of the examinations. From time to time minor changes have been made in these rules by the Board, but the supervision of the law has continued from the beginning in the hands of this Committee. The records of the Committee have been kept by the Registrar of the University and are now filed in his office. The records are complete from July, 1903, to October 1, 1925. The membership of the University Committee through the years has been as follows. The dates after each name indicate the term of service:
