America's Foremost Business School
Signalizes its fifty-first year by acquiring
the finest structure for its purpose in this
country: The De Lancey School Building,
Pine Street, West of Broad.
Peirce School's half-a-century of work in the field of
Business Education, in which it was a pioneer, has naturally
and logically brought to it leadership, not only in the numer
ical strength of its graduating classes, but also in the
authority of its teaching.
Peirce's, by right of long service and in the light of the attain
ments of its thousands of alumni, has become greater than a School
it has become an Institution.
As such, it has outgrown its former fine quarters, and now sig
nalizes its progressive advance into its second hal-century by the
acquirement of that splendid seven-story school building an Pine
street, west of Broad, formerly occupied by the distinguished
De Lancey School, now combined with the Episcopal Academy..
There is great promise of more effective work than ever for
mind and body in the fine new building, with its wonderful facilities
for teaching, its choice location, its hundreds of windows, its gyn
nasium, its roof ball-field, its electrical equipment, its students'
restaurant, its libraries, offices and class-rooms.
But there is, in the acquirement of. this great building by
Peirce's, a still deeper significance..
Time was when the businesT school was looked upon as the
avenue to positions of "immediacy'' the posts that were easiest to
attain and that offered only meagre opportunities.
Peirce's took business study out of the "typewriting- and book
keeping" class and put it on .a plane as high as any achieved in the
classical or professional studies.
The fascination and distinction that were supposed to attach only
to the more graceful attainments, Peirce's made manifest as inalien
able factors and features of business life. America had become a
country of Business. Its cry was for Business Men. Pcirce s helped
to shape this demand and to fill it.
And that Business has its Romance no less than Law, Science,
Medicine, Art or the Classics, Peircc history, reflected in the success
ful, helpful lives of thousands of its graduates, testifies.
And so now Pcirce School comes into its own.
Teaching still the art or science of business, it takes on rich, new surroundings,
hallowed by the work of a distinguished scholastic institution.
The practical instruction that best fits men to face- a practical world will be
'made to the learners doubly attractive by- school building of which theprtU I be .proud
afstXts' and prouder still in their strong days of success when thcy.kok back upon
it as-thc home of their Alma Mater. .
Send for 51st Year Book, with illustrations of the school-room and" a special
booklet "Laying the Foundation for Better Business. (
