                                   DEVRY INC.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                    For the Quarter Ended September 30, 1998
 
                                   ----------
 
 
    1.   The interim consolidated financial statements include the
         accounts of DeVry Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned
         subsidiaries. These financial statements are unaudited but,
         in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments,
         consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary
         to present fairly the financial condition and results of
         operations of the Company.
 
         The interim consolidated financial statements should be read
         in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
         notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on
         Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
         for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.
 
         The results of operations for the three months ended
         September 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of results
         to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
 
         Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to
         conform to the current presentation format.
 
    2.   In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130").
         SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
         comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements.
         The components of comprehensive income, other than those included in
         net income, were immaterial for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.
 
    3.   In July and August 1998, the Company granted options to
         purchase up to 603,500 shares of the Company's common stock
         under the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, the 1991
         Stock Incentive Plan and the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
         Financial Condition
 
Certain information contained in this quarterly report may constitute forward
looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements may involve risks
and uncertainty that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements.  Potential risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to, dependence on student financial aid, state and provincial
approval and licensing requirements, and the other factors detailed in the
Company's SEC filings, including those discussed under the heading entitled
"Risk Factors" in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3
(No. 333-22457) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The following discussion of the Company's results of operations and financial
condition should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements of the Company and the notes thereto as included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  All references to per share
amounts have been restated to reflect the December 18, 1996, and June 19, 1998,
two-for-one stock splits.
 
Because of the somewhat seasonal pattern of the Company's enrollments and its
term starting dates, which affect the results of operations and the timing of
cash inflows, the Company believes that comparisons of its results of
operations should be made to the corresponding period in the preceding year.
Comparisons of financial position should be made to both the end of the
previous fiscal year and to the end of the corresponding period in the
preceding year.  Because of the seasonality of student enrollments, the
Company's second and third quarters have historically represented the periods
of highest revenues and net income within a fiscal year.
 
 
Results of Operations
 
Tuition revenues for the first quarter increased by $11.8 million, or 16.1%,
compared to the first quarter of last year.  The increase in tuition revenue
was produced by several positive factors. Enrollment at DeVry Institutes for
the summer term, which began in July, increased by 12.1% from last summer.
This increase represents the twenty-fourth consecutive term of increased total
student enrollment as compared to the corresponding year-ago period.
Contributing to the enrollment increase at DeVry Institutes was the opening of
a new campus in Fremont, California, the twelfth campus in the United States.
At Keller Graduate School, enrollment for the term which began in June
increased by more than 23% from last June.  Compared to June of last year,
Keller conducted classes in 5 new sites, bringing the total to 28, including
the distance education program.  Tuition increases of approximately 5% were
also implemented by DeVry Institutes and Keller Graduate School during the
past year and a smaller increase was implemented at Becker CPA review.
 
Other Educational Revenues, composed primarily of sales of books and supplies,
increased because of sales to the increased number of students attending the
Company's educational programs.  Sales of the Becker CPA Review course on
CD-ROM, which are included in other educational revenues, continued to increase
from the prior year.

        
<PAGE>9
 
Interest income on the Company's short-term investments decreased from the
first quarter of last year as available cash resources were used to eliminate
all remaining debt and for capital spending on new and improved facilities
and equipment.
 
Cost of Educational Services increased by $7.9 million, or 16.2% from the
first quarter of last year.  The increase reflects the cost of additional
facilities, faculty and staff associated with the 5 new Keller sites and the
DeVry Institute in Fremont, California.  In addition, there were higher
wage, benefit, supply and service expenses associated with the higher student
enrollments at the previously existing DeVry Institutes, Keller Graduate
School and Becker CPA Review sites.
 
Depreciation expense increased by more than $0.8 million from last year,
reflecting the record investment in the past year for the expansion and
upgrading of school laboratories and teaching equipment throughout the Company.
Despite record enrollment levels, the provision for refunds and doubtful
accounts increased at a much lower rate than revenues.  The Company believes
that this lower rate of increase, which began last year, reflects continuing
efforts to raise new student admission standards at DeVry Institutes and
provide improved educational support throughout all of the Company's
educational programs.
 
Student Services and Administrative Expense increased by $3.3 million, or
15.7%, from the first quarter of last year.  The increase primarily reflects
the marketing costs associated with student recruitment for the Company's
newly opened operating locations and the marketing costs associated with
recruiting increased numbers of students at the previously existing locations.
Student recruiting expenses were also being incurred for the November 1998
opening of the new DeVry Institute in New York.  Administrative expenses have
also increased to support the Company's expanding operations.  Spending
continued through most of the first quarter on post-implementation tasks for
the Company's new financial and reporting system.  Spending also continues on
the year 2000 project as hardware is being tested and software is being
rewritten and tested.  The Company believes that it is on schedule for
completion of the project during 1999.  Costs associated with these efforts
have not had a material effect on the Company's results of operations and are
being charged to expense as incurred.
 
The Company's earnings from operations, before interest and taxes, were a
record for any first quarter.  Operating margins, which have been steadily
increasing over the corresponding year-ago periods, increased again to 13.8%
from 13.3% in the first quarter of last year.  This increase  was achieved by
higher operating leverage on the Company's previously existing locations and
continued cost controls, offsetting the effect of the new location startups
at DeVry Institutes and Keller Graduate School.
 
Interest expense decreased from the previous year as cash flow from operations
permitted the Company to completely eliminate, by quarter-end, all its
borrowings.
 
Net income of $7.8 million, or $0.11 per share, increased by more than 20%
from last year, continuing the pattern of year-over-year increases of 20% or
more.
 
 
<PAGE>10        
         
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash generated from operations totaled $12.9 million in the quarter, declining
somewhat from $13.8 million last year.  Offsetting higher net income and non-
cash sources of depreciation, amortization and deferred tuition revenue, was
an increase in the level of accounts receivable.  The increase in accounts
receivable results primarily from the higher level of student enrollment
and tuition revenue as well an approximately $1.1 million increase in funds
owed DeVry Institutes by the Department of Education under various federal loan
and grant programs.  Receivable levels, which had been declining during the
past several years because of improved timeliness of collection efforts and
student aid disbursements, even as student enrollments and revenues increased,
are expected to continue to increase somewhat from year-ago levels as new
student enrollments continue to increase.
 
Capital spending was more than $10.7 million in the first quarter, more than
double the level of last year as equipment continued to be received at the
newly opened DeVry Institute in Fremont, California, and construction of
classrooms and offices neared completion for the DeVry Institute in New York.
 
During the quarter, the Company completely repaid all of its outstanding
revolving loan facility using existing cash balances and cash generated from
operations.  Future borrowings, if any, will be based upon the Company's
seasonal cash flow cycle and payment requirements for capital spending and
other needs.
 
The Company is substantially dependent, as is most of the higher education
community, upon the timely delivery of federal and state financial aid for its
students.  Most financial aid application and disbursement activity is
processed electronically.  If the disbursement system of federal and/or state
governmental agencies and the commercial banks that participate in student loan
programs are not prepared for the year 2000, there could be interruptions or
delays in the receipt of these aid funds, which could have at least a
temporary adverse effect upon the Company's liquidity and financial position.
The Company could use its available cash resources and borrowings under its
revolving term loan agreement to temporarily fund its operations until such
student financial aid funding was restored.
 
The Company believes that current balances of unrestricted cash, cash generated
from operations and, if needed, its revolving loan facility will be sufficient
to fund its operating needs and capital spending plans for the foreseeable
future.

PART II - Other information
 
Item 5 - Other Information
 
Norman C. Metz, senior vice president at DeVry Inc., died Sunday, October 25th,
after a long illness.  Mr. Metz was 50 years old.  He joined DeVry Institutes
in 1983 as vice president of marketing and sales and subsequently assumed the
responsibilities of the management of all U.S. and Canadian DeVry Institutes.
Mr. Metz's responsibilities are currently being filled by other senior staff
members.
 
In fiscal 1996, the Ontario Ministry of Education and Training temporarily
suspended and later conditionally reinstated the Ontario Student Assistance
Program ("OSAP") designation of the Company's Toronto-area schools as an OSAP-
eligible institution, affecting the processing of student's financial aid
applications.  Full reinstatement is contingent upon, among other conditions,
the outcome of an audit of the Company's files to assess compliance with the
Ministry's guidelines.
 
In mid-October, the Company received from the Ontario Ministry of Education
and Training (the "Ministry") a copy of the forensic audit reports prepared by
its auditors, Lindquist Avey, to quantify the costs "incurred by or associated
with inappropriately released loans."  The Company has acknowledged receipt of
the report to the Ministry and delivered a copy of these reports to Canadian
legal counsel and audit counsel for review and advice.  A meeting has been
scheduled for November 13th with the Ministry, Lindquist Avey, the Company and
its Canadian legal and audit counsel to review and discuss the report prepared
by Lindquist Avey.
 
The DeVry Institute in Phoenix is leasing approximately 3,400 square feet of
additional classroom and office space in a nearby building to provide for
increasing student enrollments while changes to the DeVry facility are being
completed to meet the longer-term classroom needs.
