Happy Birthday DPE

Abstract

DPE started at New York University in the spring 1936, under the guidance and leadership of Dr. Paul S. Lomax. When DPE started a quart of milk was 10 cents, a loaf of bread was 5 cents, a gallon of gasoline was 18 cents, a new car (Chrysler sedan) was $995, and Dale Carnegie’s famous book How to Win Friends and Influence People had just hit the market. Shorthand and Typewriting were the most popular courses in business education.
