margin: 0px 0px 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e The paths of these two innovative companies converged in 1929 when QRS, looking to diversify its technology portfolio, purchased the DeVry Corporation. For a short period, the company operated under the name QRS-DeVry, producing devices like movie cameras and projectors. However, this merger was short-lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"line-height: 1.8em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e By the early 1930s, the two entities went their separate ways. Herman DeVry, in collaboration with Dr. Lee de Forest, shifted his focus entirely to technical education, establishing DeForest Training School in 1931. This institution would evolve over the decades, becoming DeVry Technical Institute and eventually the well-known DeVry University, a prominent for-profit institution focused on career-oriented education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"line-height: 1.8em;
