NEWS NOTES.

This article presents news events related to the field of accounting as of January 1963. An International Conference on Accounting Education was sponsored by the Department of Accountancy and held on the Urbana campus of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Illinois in October 1-3, 1962. Participants numbering 101 included 59 Amen- can educators, 16 other American and 26 foreign accountants. Thirteen countries were represented. The program consisted of morning sessions on the nature of accounting education, the university and accounting research, and on teaching methods; afternoon round tables were held to discuss the issues raised at the first two morning sessions. Beginning with its spring, 1962, issue, "Business Horizons," a publication of the School of Business of Indiana University, will run a regular feature entitled "Re- search Clearing House." It is hoped that all major business-related research currently in progress or recently completed will be covered in the new section. Persons doing such research are invited to report it to James M. Patterson, Editor, School of Business, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana.
