Abstract
77 A tribute to Raymond John Chambers The members of the editorial board of Accounting History are deeply saddened by the death of Professor Raymond John Chambers on 13 September 1999. To the best of our knowledge, the only autobiographical note written by Professor Chambers was published in Accounting History (1991). Apart from his introductory essay to the 1974 Scholars Book reprint of his magnum opus, Accounting, Evaluation and Economic Behavior (1966), and introduction to his Autobibliography (1977) which provide a brief account of the development of Continuously Contemporary Accounting (CoCoA), his article in Accounting History provides the principal hints and clues to the circumstances, experiences and influences that shaped the development of his ideas about accounting. About the history of ideas, he wrote: "Some ideas stem from fortuitous sets of circumstances, some from deliberate rejection of prevalent dogma, some from a gradually emerging sense of the integral character of apparently disparate circumstances and ideas. Some survive as distinctive and novel elements of a school of thought; some drift like flotsam on the tide of what seems to be the mainstream of ideas, some are submerged or cast aside by the stream.
