Emanuel Saxe, a 1923 graduate of the School of Business, with a Diploma in Accounting, returned to his alma mater in 1928 to begin a distinguished career as a scholar, educator and administrator. He became Chairman of the Accountancy Department in 1950 and in 1956 was named Dean of the School of Business--a position which he held for twelve years.

The Emanuel Saxe Distinguished Lectures in Accounting are given several times a year as a public service by Baruch College of the City University of New York under the auspices of the Baruch College Fund and the Stan Ross Department of Accountancy.

The lectures were established to honor Emanuel Saxe, Dean and Professor Emeritus at Baruch College, formerly Morton Wollman Distinguished Professor of Accountancy and University Distinguished Professor.
