                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
             For the Quarter and Six Months Ended December 31, 1997

                                   ----------


   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 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 and in
         conjunction with the Company's Quarterly report on Form 10-Q
         for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, each as filed with
         the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The results of operations for the three months and six months
         ended December 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of
         results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

   2.    In July and August 1997, the Company granted options to
         purchase up to 129,800 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
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.  All references to per share
amounts have been restated to reflect the December 18, 1996, two-for-one stock
split.

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.  Typically, due to 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 second quarter increased by $7.7 million, or 10.5%.
For the first six months, the increase in tuition revenues was $18.2 million,
or 13.4%.  These increases in tuition revenue were produced by several positive
factors.  Enrollment at the DeVry Institutes for the summer term, which began
in July, increased by 6.9% from last summer.  For the fall term at the DeVry
Institutes, which began in November, enrollments increased by 9.0%.  These
increases in enrollments represented the twentieth and twenty-first consecutive
terms of higher total student enrollment as compared to the corresponding prior
year period.  Contributing to the increased enrollment at DeVry was the opening
of its fifteenth Institute in Alpharetta, Georgia, for the summer term.
Enrollments at Keller Graduate School for the term which began in June
increased by over 20%.  For the term which began in November, enrollments at
Keller increased by 16.8%.  During the first half of fiscal 1998, Keller opened
three new teaching centers, bringing the total to 23.  In addition, tuition
increases of approximately five percent were implemented at DeVry and Keller
while a somewhat smaller increase was implemented at Becker CPA.

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 course recently
introduced on CD-ROM are also included in this revenue category.

Interest income on the Company's short-term investments increased in the second
quarter and first six months as a strong pace of student receivable collections
provided cash available for investment in larger amounts than in the previous
year.

Cost of Educational Services increased by $2.6 million, or 5.6% from the second
quarter of last year.  For the first half, the increase in cost was
$8.5 million, or 9.5%.  The increase in cost reflects the additional facility,
faculty and staff associated with the new DeVry Institute and Keller Graduate
School centers.  In addition, there were higher costs associated with the
higher enrollments at the previously existing locations at DeVry and Keller.
The provision for refunds and doubtful accounts has declined from the level of

<PAGE>9
that expense realized in the first half of last year.  The Company believes
that the reduction, which began to occur in the second quarter, reflects the
beginnings of results from continuing efforts to raise new student admission
standards and provide expanded academic services to students needing additional
help with their educational program.  Depreciation expense increased by over
$0.8 million in the first half, reflecting further capital spending for
expansion and upgrading of school laboratories and teaching equipment
throughout the system.

Student Services and Administrative Expense increased by approximately 20% from
the second quarter and first half of last year.  The increase primarily
reflects the marketing costs associated with the Company's newly opened
operating locations and the costs associated with generating the higher student
enrollments at the previously opened locations.  Student recruiting expenses
are also being incurred for the planned July 1998 opening of the new DeVry
Institute in Fremont, California, and the planned November 1998 opening of the
DeVry Institute in New York City.  Administrative expenses have also increased
from the prior year to support the expanded Company operations.  In addition,
implementation efforts and spending are underway for the Company's new
accounting system.  This new system, which was purchased rather than internally
developed, will enhance reporting and analysis and overcome year 2000
deficiencies in the current system.

The Company's earnings from operations, before interest expense and taxes,
were a record for second quarter and six months.  Operating margins, which have
been increasing consistently each quarter over the comparable year-ago period,
increased again in the second quarter to 15.4% from 14.7% last year.  For the
half, operating margins reached 14.4% compared to 13.9% for the same period
last year.  The improved operating margins reflect the expanded enrollments
and continued cost control.

Interest expense for both the quarter and half have decreased substantially
from the previous year.  The lower interest expense results from the
application of the net proceeds from the April 1997 stock offering to debt
reduction and from the continued strong cash flow from operations, in excess
of needs for expansion and other investment, which is also being applied to
debt reduction.  Compared to December 31st of last year, debt has been reduced
by $34 million.

Net income of $8.3 million for the quarter and $14.6 million for the half has
increased by more than 20% from the same period last year.  Earnings per share
for both periods has also increased by 20%, including the effect of the higher
number of shares outstanding after the April 1997 stock offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash generated from operations in the first half increased by more than
$8 million from the first half of last year.  The higher level of cash
generated reflects the higher net income and higher non-cash charges for
depreciation.   Also contributing to the higher cash flow is the earlier
collection of student receivables this year at the DeVry Institute campus in
Atlanta where the start of the summer term last year, and the receivable
collection cycle, were delayed by the summer Olympics.

<PAGE>10
For the half, total reductions in the Company's long-term debt equaled
$23 million, up from $17.5 million last year.  Future borrowings and/or
repayments will be based upon the Company's seasonal cash flow cycle and
payment requirements for construction of new facilities and other capital
spending.

Capital spending remains high with construction of the Fremont, California,
campus underway and continued investments in technology and other improvements
throughout all the Company's operations.  For the first half, total capital
expenditures were $10.7 million, up $3.4 million from last year.  The level of
capital spending is expected to remain high as construction of the Fremont
campus continues and work begins on the improvements to the leased New York
City campus.

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.

At the meeting, four Directors of the Company were elected to serve as
Class III Directors to hold office until 2000 and one Director of the Company
was elected to serve as a Class I Director to hold office until 1998 or until
their respective successors are elected and qualified.  The results of the
voting for Directors, whether in person or by proxy, were as follows:

                                  For           Withheld
Class I:

Ewen M. Akin                  30,676,406         168,480

Item 5 - Other Information
- --------------------------
In connection with the law suit filed by a former student at the DeVry
Institute in North York, Ontario, Canada, oral arguments were made on
January 23rd on the pending motion to certify the suit as a class action
lawsuit.  The Company is awaiting the judge's ruling on the matter, the timing
of which is presently unknown.

Although the outcome cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes
the resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In conjunction with the early 1999 expiration of the DeVry Institutes' lease on
its North York, Ontario, Canada, facility, all classes and operations at that
campus will be relocated to the Scarborough and Mississauga campuses.  The
Scarborough and Mississauga campuses have the flexibility to accommodate this
move while maintaining the level of service to students.
