LOCAL AND NATIONAL
RECORDS Or PACE ALUMNI
The 1936 District C.P.A. Examinations
Of the ten successful candidates in the November examinations
five were graduates of this school. Likewise, in the May of 1936
examinations more Benjamin Franklin graduates were succesful
than graduates of the prescribed accounting course of any other
school. Moreover, this is true for the entire past ten year period.
National Scope of Pace Courses
• Year after year) Pace Alumni in
various states have made excep
tional records in C. P. A. examina
tions—thus 62% of the successful
candidates in the last Western
Pennsylvania examinations were
graduates of the Pace Courses in
Pittsburgh.
Not only in examinations, but in
other professional activities have
Pace Alumni attained distinction.
During recent years, four presi
dents of national accounting
associations have been Pace men.
Likewise, Pace Alumni have been,
and are, members of examining
boards in a number of states—
including jurisdictions noted for
exacting professional standards
such as New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, and the District.
More than a score of nationally
known corporations number Pace
Alumni among their officers and
executives.
National Scope of Accountancy
Accountancy practice is more
national in character than either
legal or medical practice. There
are firms of accountants which
have offices throughout the United
States. Large corporations, who
engage accountants, ordinarily
have branches in almost every
state in the Union. For this reason,
the national reputation of an
accountancy course is of prime
importance to the prospective
accountancy student
Among the thirty thousand Pace
Alumni in all sections of the
country are a goodly number of
outstanding leaders in all three
of the principal fields of account*
ing—public accounting, Gover
mental accounting and executive
accounting.
