TO VISIT U.S.

Professor A. S. Carrington

In a six weeks’ visit to the United States on an Erskine fellowship. Professor A. S. Carrington, professor of accountancy at the University of Canterbury, will discuss and observe the operation of graduate programmes in accounting and finance at a number of leading American universities. Most of his time will be snent at the universities of Chicago, Michigan, and Illinois. In San Francisco he will attend seminars at Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley. Professor Carrington will also briefly visit three other universities, including the University of Pennsylvania, where he hopes to renew acquaintance with two recent visitors to Christchurch— Professor David Solomons and Professor Reavis Cox.

“With growing emphasis being placed on work at the graduate level in accounting and business finance at the University of Canterbury it is most desirable that, in planning the further development of our own programmes, we should have a clear picture of what is being done at the better graduate schools in America,” said Professor Carrington yesterday. Professor Carrington will leave for the United States this month.
