297 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. vii (1955)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0297 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD This issue contains a symposium on the formulation of ethical standards of prac- tice within specific professional groups. The volume is in large part a revision of some of the subject matter appearing in THE ANNALS of May 1922. The materials are presented in two parts. The first contains articles on de- velopments within particular professions. The second contains three comprehen- sive or generalizing articles that sum up the problem of defining a profession and the evidence that business management is becoming a profession. As the third article, it has been thought appropriate to reprint from the 1922 volume Professor R. M. MacIver's article, The Social Significance of Professional Ethics. The authors writing in the various groups have been invited to present not mere descriptions but appraisals or evaluations of: 1. The ethical standards that have been recognized or adopted. If there is a code this is quoted. Brief codes are given in full; the lengthier ones are gener- ously quoted. 2. The processes by which the ethical standards were formulated. 3. Activities by way of encouraging observance or by way of enforcement of the code or other standards. 4. Emerging problems or unresolved issues or difficult matters with which the professional group is dealing. 5. Other aspects deemed important by the author. These specifications have been applied by the authors selected in accordance with their own judgment. The symposium is published in the expectation that it meets a need for inter- pretations of recent experience. Here is at least a portion of the record of a proc- ess going on in society. It may be restated that the emphasis here has been to record experience, and thus not to consider in any technical sense the social theories involved. Probably, however, the student of social theory will find here materials which are grist for his mill. BENSON Y. LANDIS vii
