THE BATTALION
-SATURDAY, DEC. 9, 1939
Welfare Committee—
(Continued from page 1)
zation commanders to discuss and
take action on at their next meet
ing. Stated Dean and chairman F.
C. Bolton, “We are hoping that to
improve scholastic standings the
commanders of all the organiza
tions on the campus will do their
part in instituting and maintaining
group meetings to counsel the
freshmen in their studies, senior
assistance to underclassmen, study
during hours off from classes,
and other such measures which
will better the presnt serious sit
uation.”
In regard to questions first
brought up last month, it was stat
ed that (1) a student restroom in
the Academic Building, (2) special
locks for the fire hose cases in the
new dormitories, (3) means of
closing up the draft-admitting
gaps at the bottom of doors in
the new halls and (4) new tennis
courts for the student body, are
all under consideration by the col
lege authorities, and will be pro
vided at some time in the future.
At present they are all awaiting
action by the Board of Directors.
A letter from Mayor J. H. Bin-
ney was read, inviting the Student
Welfare Committee to choose one
of its members to sit in with the
City Council at all the Council
meetings, as a mark of the willing
ness and desire of the Council
to serve the student body. The
committee resolved unanimously to
accept this offer, and at a student
caucus following the meeting,
Frank Pool of A Cavalry was
elected to sit in with the Council.
He will represent the student body
by giving opinions and taking part
in the discussions, but will have no
vote.
The Williams College News is
making a special movie of all
phases of campus life.

Accountants
Hear Frank W. Main
Frank Wilbur Main of Pitts
burgh, Pennsylvania, addressed
the A. & M. Accounting Society
Tuesday evening in the Chemistry
lecture room. His topic was
“The Accountant of the Future—
His Training and Opportunities”.
The speaker pointed out that ac
counting is comparatively a new
field. It has, however, progressed
rapidly during the past forty years.
As to the future of the accountant,
he stated that wherever there is
civilization there is trade and com
merce and where there is trade and
commerce accountants are always
needed.
In training for the accounting
profession, Main went on to say,
a life study must be devoted to
the profession, and a will to ad
vance must be instilled in the ac
countant.
He also gave an interesting re
view of the history of accounting,
pointing out that accounting rec
ords were found in the earliest
years of civilization. 9
In his speaking tour through
Texas, Main will include, besides
A. & M. College, the University of
Texas, S. M. U., and T. C. U.
Main is the senior partner of
Main and Company. He obtained
the New York certified public ac
countant certificate in 1904. He
also is the holder of a C. P. A.
certificate of Pennsylvania, Okla
homa, and Texas.
In 1908 he established the ac
counting courses at the Univer
sity of Pittsburgh Evening School
of Economics, Accountants and
Finance, that being the third uni
versity in the United States to
establish such courses. Main was
a member of the evening school
faculty until 1915, when he joined
the Pennsylvania State Board of
Examiners. Since that time he has
served in an advisory capacity in
accounting courses at the Univer
sity of Pittsburgh.
He served as a member of the
Pennsylvania State Board of Ex
aminers for sixteen years, from
1915 to 1931.
Taxi Ordinance—
(Continued from page 1)
fort and safety; and the ultimate
responsibility for its successful
operation rests with the taxi driv
er himself. All drivers caught in
fringing the ordinance will be re
ported and the full penalty assess
ed. So we hope and ask that stu
dents will cooperate with the driv
ers and help improve the situation
by not attempting to crowd the
taxis. If the crowd waiting for
rides is more than the number of
taxis then at College, then it is
up to the companies to see that
enough taxis are sent in from
Bryan to accommodate without
anyone’s having to wait too long.”
At the same meeting the City
Council also adopted an ordinance
granting a franchise to the Bryan-
College Tractor Company granting
them the rights of operation in the
city for the period of twenty years.
The ordinance requires only the
signatures of the parties concerned
to go into effect. No vehicles
operating under this ordinance
shall transport at any one time a
number of passengers in excess of
the passenger-carrying capacity
for that vehicle as listed by the
manufacturer. Bus drivers must
have chauffeur’s licenses issued by
the state, and may not operate a
bus more than ten hours in any
24-hour period. Vehicles must be
in safe mechanical condition for
use. The company is required to
maintain bus service for the inhab
itants of the city, and must operate
on fixed schedule. Vehicles must
be operated in conformity with all
the ordinances of the city.
Main was president of the Ame
rican Society of Public Account
ants in 1922. He was one of the
founders of the Pittsburgh Chap
ter of Pennsylvania Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, and
has served on the council at dif
ferent times. At present he is
vice-president of the Pennsylvania
Institute, and also a member of
the Texas Society.
For many years Main has been
a director of the Pittsburgh Cham
ber of Commerce and the Pennsyl
vania State Chamber of Commerce.
