Business history
book written here
by Ruth Wedergren
Battalion Reporter
Two Texas A&M historians
have written an illustrated
American business history
textbook — the only one of its
kind, the authors say.
Dr. Keith L. Bryant, dean
of the College of Liberal Arts,
and Dr. Henry C. Dethloff,
head of the Department of
History, wrote “A History of
American Business.” The
book was published by Pre
ntice-Hall, fnc.
Dethloff says the book fo
cuses on people in business.
“We talk about the rise of
the big corporation and the
entrepreneur — how the little
guy fits in,” he says. “Af ter all,
most big businesses came
from little ones.
“We also look at the role of
the individual and include
sketches about business lead
ers. The main point of the
book is to show that the world
of business is rapidly chang
ing, dynamic and exciting.”
Dethloff says the book is the
only American business his
tory text to have illustrations,
adding that it also has tables
and graphs.
He says he doesn’t know if
the book will be used in a new
course at Texas A&M on
American business history,
but he expects it to be used at
other schools.
“We feel it will be adopted
at universities in the country
because American business
history is something taught in
colleges of business or liberal
arts or both,” Dethloff says.
“We think it has an appeal
outside the classroom. People
are concerned that they don't
know enough about business,
and today they are more eco
nomically conscious.”
The entire project, includ
ing writing the book and
negotiating for its publication,
Dethloff says, has taken about
three years.
He says this is the first book
he and Bryant have written
together.

beer and wine during the play’s
performance, a theater official
said Wednesday.
Jan Smally, co-founder and
treasurer of the Encore Theater
Co., said Corpus Christi vice
squad officers reported the sale
of alcoholic beverages to Alco-
,hol Beverage Control officials
when they viewed the play last
week.
The play, written by British
author Peter Schaf fer, describes
the psychological problems of a
stable boy, whose worship of
horses involves religious and
sexual overtones.
The play has won several
awards including the prestigious
Tony Award.
Smally said the play con
tained a two-minute, 45-second
nude scene in which the boy
attempts sexual intercourse with
a girl.
“The vice squad told the ABC.
that there were two stark naked
people on stage simulating the
sex act,” she said. “They sat
there for 2.5 hours for that
scene to see if there was any
penetration. They did not
understand the story.”
Although the vice squad did
not find the play obscene, Smal
ly said officers reported the sale
of beer and wine to the ABC,
forcing her to temporarily give
up her liquor license.
“I explained to the ABC that I
did not feel we were breaking
the law,” Smally said. “This is
not a topless bar and we’re not
doing anything obscene on
stage. The beer and wine were
just a service for our patrons.
“But you just cannot have a
license or permit where there is
nudity. As soon as the show is
over, I will f ill out an application
for reinstatement (of the
license).”
