ABSTRACT
Conferences were held in 1947, 1949, 1950, 1952, 1955 and 1958, and one or both of Baxter and Solomons were leading figures in each of the six. Baxter was Chairman from 1950 to 1952 and Solomons was Secretary from 1947 to 1950 and Chairman from 1955 to 1958, and one or both served on the Committee during most of its existence. Baxter was Editor of the first two issues of the Newsletter, and much of the content of Nos 3 and 4 was the work of Baxter and Solomons. It was Baxter and Solomons who compiled the first two anthologies of articles that were published in the name of the Association. Baxter, Solomons and Edey were the three Association members who, together with two economists, wrote the Association’s memorandum to a Royal Commission, and Solomons drafted the Association’s submission to the Parker Committee. Solomons, with help from Baxter and Edey (and Sidebotham), directed the accounting education conference held at LSE in 1958, which, but for the accidental loss of some of the transcript, would have led to another publication in the Association’s name.
