Homer Pace

Homer St. Clair Pace (April 13, 1879 – May 22, 1942) was an American CPA and innovator in the field of accounting. Jointly with his brother Charles Ashford Pace, he advanced the field of business education, opening a string of vocational institutes that offered a standardized course in accounting and business law. The original one, in New York City, evolved in time into Pace University, which today offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in some 100 majors spread over six campuses.
