Notice biographique
Reginald George Hampden Smails was born in England, and studied at Manchester University, University of Chicago and the London School of Economics. He served with the British Army in France and Belgium, and he was awarded the gold medal from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales in 1920. Smails was appointed to the faculty of Queen's University in 1922, and developed the final year of material of the new Chartered Accountants course of instruction with Professor Walker. He also wrote two textbooks which were the principle accounting textbooks in Canada for over 15 years: "Accounting Principles", and "Auditing". Smails was Director of the School of Business at Queen's from 1951-1958, and retired in 1962. Queen's University awarded him an honorary degree LL.D in 1973. R.G.H Smails passed away on March 12 1975.
