Abstract

This is a study of the historical evolution of accounting at the University of Michigan from 1901 to 2024, attending to the early accounting instructors as well as on the comings and goings of the professorial faculty from the 1920s onward. Attention is given to the role of accounting Ph.D. graduates over the years and to the major achievements and distinctions received by both the faculty and the doctoral graduates. As the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business has retained very few historical records, the primary source of the historical records for this paper was the university’s course catalogs. JEL Classifications: M41.
