Edward Stamp awaits presentation of an honourary Doctor of Laws degree at fall Convocation ceremony held at Centennial Auditorium.

Bio/Historical Note: Edward (Eddie) Stamp (1928-1986) was bom in Liverpool. A naturalized Canadian, he became an academic in New Zealand, returning to Britain in 1968 to professorships at Edinburgh and then at Lancaster University, where he founded (and directed until his death in 1986) the International Centre for Research in Accounting. The only Professor of Accounting Research in Britain, he became widely known to accountants worldwide, less for the originality of his ideas than for his robust campaigns to raise standards of corporate reporting, auditing, and open administration.
