Professor co-writes textbook
The publication of Princi
ples of Accounting, third edi
tion is the latest in a series of
textbooks that has made Elon
College’s Dr. Allen B. Sanders
a well-known author all over
the United States.
The first two editions were
adopted by more than 100
schools, including New York
University, Auburn and the
University of South Carolina,
and have been used by more
than 100,000 students nation
wide.
Sanders, professor of busi
ness administration and
accounting, wrote the book
with Isaac N. Reynolds, profes
sor of accounting at the Uni
versity of North Carolina-
Chapel Hill, and A. Douglas
Hillman, professor of account
ing and computer information
systems at Drake University.
Principles of Accounting has
been carefully developed as
the focus of a first-year
accounting course.
“We had nearly 40 reviewers
from large universities, small
private colleges and commun
ity colleges all over the country
to review the manuscript,”
Sanders said. “They made com
ments, suggested better ways of
saying things and pointed out
errors. Also, six instructors
from colleges where the pre
vious editions were used kept
user diaries, measuring clas
sroom performance and stu
dent response. Our rewriting
was based on these personal
comments and findings. Re
writing is a constant process.”
Sanders worked on the tex
tbook during the summers of
1982 and 1983 and “all
weekends in between,” he said.
The coauthors tried to divide
the work equally, writing nine
or 10 chapters each and spe
cializing in certain areas of
accounting. Sanders, a certi
fied management accountant
(CMA), concentrated most of
his efforts on management
accounting for manufacturing,
interpretation and uses of
accounting statements and
quantitative methods.
“In writing a textbook, you
accept the responsibility for
putting out information that
thousands of people will read
and accept as the gospel,” San
ders said. “It’s a tremendous
responsibility.”
Sanders, who has taught at

award. The presentation was made by the chapter’s Alumnus
Advisor, J. King White, who serves as director of Alumni and
Parent Programs at Elon.
Paul is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Paul Jr. of 24 Glen-
brooke Circle in Richmond, Virginia. He has held many posi

Elon chapter recently was recognized as one of the “Top Ten
Chapters in Kappa Sigma,” for the second consecutive year.
talented students at Elon. “His
generosity will be appreciated
for years as these young people
improve their lives through a
college education,” Dr. Young
said.
The PRIDE II Campaign is
seeking $5.7 million in con

period for endowment, capital
improvements, on-going ex
