I was amused by some of the ads I ran into in an old Radio-Electronics Magazine. I’ll reproduce a few on the blog over the next few days. These are circa 1956 as early color TV was emerging onto the scene.

    I remember working with a couple of guys that were sooooo proud of having gradeated from “Deep Fry” that they wore their school jackets to work. (Smile / shake head in amazement as I type this).
    One of them was fired for carrying a hidden gun in his toolbox, and the other believed that sex in marriage should only take place when seriously attempting to reproduce. Geee… I miss working with those guys.. not!
    You too can get your degree in engineering in three years instead of four!

    You know somethings wrong when they have more people staffed in their admissions and student-loan offices than they have teachers and other faculty in the school.

    Thanks to DeVry, “It lives!! It lives” Igor.

  5. space monkeys says:

    there was this guy that would come to my highschool every year and advertise for devry – Bud Weiser – he was a funny old guy, I bet he got his degree in Television…

  6. Dave Sanders says:

    I actually went to devry… for a semester and a half. I quit when one of my instructors told me that “COBOL is where its all at and C++ is not going to last! If you want to play with programming in C++, then you are in the wrong place.”

    Mind you, this was in 1994… the guy was completely delusional. So I left.
