Comments from a BYU Accounting Alumn

My wife is friends with a much older graduate of the BYU accounting program--he just turned 90 years old.

This weekend, she mentioned to him that I am studying accounting at BYU. It turns out that he completed the accounting program just after returning from WWII. She asked if it was as difficult 50 years ago as it is now. He declared "[Heck] yes! It makes grown men cry! Now [heck], I never did cry over it, but [darn], I sure came close!"

Apparently a heavy course load in accounting is not a recent development.


The Maser building was the home of the
business school from 1921-1960
