Abstract American Accounting Association and its predecessor organization, The American Association of University Instructors in Accounting, have had as a primary objective the encouragement and promotion of research in accounting. On December 28, 1935, the regular business meeting of the twentieth annual convention of the American Association of University Instructors in Accounting was adjourned and the assembled members immediately reconvened in a business meeting and the members were shifted from the old organization to the new. The only changes that had been effected were the change of name and the adoption of a new set of By-Laws. The chief activities of the new Association were listed in the By-Laws as "publications and research." The first of the stated objectives of the Association was phrased thus: "To encourage and sponsor research in accounting and to publish or aid in the publication of the results of research."The means by which the American Accounting Association expected to encourage intensive research on accounting subjects was never fully faced. The Executive Committee did suggest a substantial, but very general, list of topics on which it was felt study was needed. It is quite evident that the master's and doctoral programs in accounting were looked upon as a source of research talent and effort which was readily available in quantity.

Abstract This article focuses on some of the problems facing the accounting society and suggests what the profession of accounting can do toward their future solutions. The problems are summarized as--To induce, rather than to force, business management and union labor to reach collective bargaining agreements, to save out of the flow of consumer purchasing power and corporate earnings, enough to equip with adequate tools and other capital assets, to achieve a more adequate understanding on the part of many more persons of the nature and workings of monetary system in its relationship to international and domestic commodity prices, wage rates, volume of business, volume of savings and levels of interest rates. To make progress towards something, that is a paradox and may turn out to be an impossibility. According to the author, accountants can and must play a leading role in disseminating the necessary information and knowledge and the extent to which Accountancy contributes to the necessary solution of these problems will determine the brilliance of its future.
