Pace University

File:PaceBrothers.jpg and Charles Ashford Pace]]

In 1906, brothers Homer Pace and Charles Ashford Pace founded the firm of Pace & Pace to operate their schools of accountancy and business. Taking a loan of $600, the Pace brothers rented a classroom on one of the floors of the New York Tribune Building, today the site of the One Pace Plaza complex. The Paces taught the first class of 13 men and women. The school grew rapidly, and moved several times around Lower Manhattan.

The Pace brothers' school was soon incorporated as Pace Institute, and expanded nationwide, offering courses in accountancy and business law in several U.S. cities. Some 4,000 students were taking the Pace brothers' courses in YMCAs in the New York-New Jersey area.{{when|date=June 2013}} The Pace Standardized Course in Accounting was also offered in Boston, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, Kansas City, St. Louis, Denver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle. In the 1920s, concerned about quality control at distant locations, the Pace brothers divested their private schools outside New York and subsequently devoted their attention to the original school in Lower Manhattan, eventually to become one of the campuses of Pace University.{{cite web |title=History Highlights |url=http://www.walshcollege.edu/pages/180.asp |website=walshcollege.edu |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060622015356/http://www.walshcollege.edu/pages/180.asp |archive-date=June 22, 2006 |date=June 22, 2006}} Pace Institute in Washington, D.C. later became Benjamin Franklin University (now part of The George Washington University).{{cite web |title=The George Washington University Washington, D.C. |url=http://www.gwu.edu/~gelarch/almanac/other.html |website=www.gwu.edu |language=en}}{{cite web |title=GWU Special Collections: Schools That are Now Part of GW |url=http://www.gwu.edu/~gelarch/almanac/other.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070506111106/http://www.gwu.edu/~gelarch/almanac/other.html |archive-date=May 6, 2007 |date=May 6, 2007}} In 1927 the school moved to the newly completed Transportation Building at 225 Broadway, and remained there until the 1950s.{{cite book|author1=Kenneth T.

After Charles died in 1940 and Homer in 1942, Homer's son Robert S. Pace became the new president of Pace. In 1947, Pace Institute was approved for college status by the New York State Board of Regents. In 1951, the college purchased its first campus building: 41 Park Row in Lower Manhattan. The building, a New York City designated landmark, was the late-19th-century headquarters of The New York Times. In 1963, the Pleasantville Campus was established using land and buildings donated by the then-president of General Foods and Pace alumnus and trustee Wayne Marks and his wife Helen.

In 1966, U.S. Vice President Hubert Humphrey and New York City Mayor John Lindsay broke ground for the One Pace Plaza Civic Center complex, with then Pace president Edward J. Mortola. The former New York Tribune Building at 154 Nassau Street, across from 41 Park Row, was demolished to make way for the new building complex.

The New York State Board of Regents approved Pace College's petition for university status in 1973. Shortly thereafter, in 1975, the {{not a typo|College}} of White Plains (formerly known as Good Counsel College) consolidated with Pace and became the White Plains campus which at the time was used to house both undergraduate courses and Pace's new law school created in that same year. In September 1976, Pace began offering courses in Midtown Manhattan in the Equitable Life Assurance Company building (now AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company) on Avenue of the Americas, and moved once before moving to its current location in 1997. Briarcliff College was acquired in 1977 and became the Briarcliff campus. A graduate center was opened in 1982 in White Plains, New York, and in 1987 the Graduate Center moved to the newly built Westchester Financial Center complex in the downtown business district of White Plains; which at the time of its opening, Pace's graduate computer science program was the first nationally accredited graduate program in the state of New York.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}}

In 1994, all undergraduate programs in White Plains were consolidated to the Pleasantville-Briarcliff campus, and the White Plains campus on North Broadway was given to the law school; resulting in the university's Westchester undergraduate programs in Pleasantville and its Westchester graduate programs in White Plains. Finally, in 1997, Pace purchased the World Trade Institute at 1 World Trade Center from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

On the day of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Pace University, four blocks from Ground Zero, lost 4 students and over 40 alumni. Students were made to leave classes and evacuate to other locations in One Pace Plaza at 10:00 a.m. FDNY Emergency Medical Services (EMS) cleared out the Admissions Lobby and made it a triage center for victims of the attack.{{cite web |title=Image 0036 |url=http://jeffreymunro.com/wtc/Album/slides/0036.jpg |website=jeffreymunro.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070614040506/http://jeffreymunro.com/wtc/Album/slides/0036.jpg |archive-date=June 14, 2007 |date=June 14, 2007}} Many of the patients were New York City police officers, firefighters and other emergency workers.

On March 5, 2006, Pace students, alumni, faculty, and staff from all campuses convened on the Pleasantville Campus in a university-wide Centennial Kick-Off Celebration; there was a Pace Centennial train, provided free of charge by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), to take Pace's New York City students, alumni, faculty, and staff to Pace's Pleasantville campus. Former President Bill Clinton received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Pace during the ceremony, which was held at the Goldstein Health, Fitness and Recreation Center. Following the reception of the honorary degree, he addressed the students, faculty, alumni, and staff of Pace, officially kicking off the Centennial anniversary of the university.{{cite web|url=https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1002&context=centennial |title=Pace University Centennial Kick-Off Event – Featuring President William Jefferson Clinton |website=Appserv.pace.edu |access-date=March 5, 2006}} (PDF)
