Accounting HE preeminence of the School of Commerce among collegiate schools of business is largely attributable to the excellence of its Department of Account- ing. Founded in 1900 by William H. Dennis, the department was successively ww-w'-G under tl1e chairn1anship of john R. VVild- man and Dean john T. Madden. Pro- fessor Arthur H. Rosenkampff is the present cl1airman. 'Www-Q, The elementary courses in accounting are designed for students desiring a gen- eral knowledge of the subject. The ad- vanced courses, on the other hand, serve to prepare students 1II?lj01NIIlg i11 acco1111ting for tl1e C.P.A. examinations, under the theory that Arthur H. Rosenkam pff C11 nirm an one trained for public accountancy, as epitomized in these examinations, will be capable of enter- ing almost any branch of private accountancy. A recent innovation, typical of the departments constant revision and improvement of sub- ject matter and method, is tl1e practice of presenting to students the last fo11r problems in the advanced accounting problems co11rse under actual C.P.A., examination conditions. Both its world-wide reputation and the highly successful business careers of its many former students testify to tl1e success of the Accounting Department. Banking and Finance OURSES in finance were given at the School of Connnerce long before the Department of Banking and Finance was formerly organized in 1915. For a time courses were given by a faculty of two, Dean joseph French johnson and Dr. Frederick A. Cleveland, the former giving courses in banking and the latter courses in corporation Hnance. I11vestment courses were added in 1904. Among the early lecturers in investments were Mr. Frank A. Vanderlip, Mr. Albert V. Atwood, and Mr. Lawrence Chamberlain. The subjects of real estate and insurance were added in 1905. Mr. Edward R. Hardy was the Hrst insurance lecturer and is still a member of the department faculty. In 1913-14, Mr. David E. Golieb gave lectures in the subjects of credit and collections. Mr. Golieb, also, is still a member of the department faculty. Formal organization of the Banking and Finance Department took place in 1915 when Dr. Charles VV. Gerstenberg became its head. Under Dr. Gerstenberg considerable expansion of the various courses took place. The subject of Federal Taxes was added to the curriculum in 1919. In the general reorganization of the faculty in 1923, Professor Major B. Foster, formerly of the Department of Economies, became chairman of this department. Since that time the de- partment has kept pace with the school in meeting the greatly increased demands for instruction and has expanded the several Helds taught into complete programs of specialization and in addition, has added a complete program of graduate work.
