                        AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SCHEDULE 13D

     ITT Corporation, a Nevada corporation (formerly known as ITT Destinations,
Inc., "ITT"), hereby amends and supplements its statement on Schedule 13D
relating to the common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "ESI common stock"),
of ITT Educational Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ESI"), as originally
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on October
17, 1995, Amendment No. 1 thereto, as filed with the Commission on March 14,
1997 and Amendment No. 2 thereto, as filed with the Commission on July 22, 1997.
This Schedule 13D of ITT is hereinafter referred to as the "Statement".

     ITT was formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (which has since been reincorporated in Indiana and changed its name
to ITT Industries, Inc., "Old ITT"). On December 19, 1995, Old ITT distributed
to its stockholders of record on such date all of the outstanding common stock
of ITT.

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows:

     "The Securities reported on herein were acquired through the contribution
described in Item 3.

     On November 12, 1997, the Board of Directors of ITT approved a merger (the
"Merger") of ITT and an entity jointly owned by Starwood Lodging Corporation 
("Starwood") and Starwood Lodging Trust ("Starwood Trust" and, together with 
Starwood, the "Starwood Companies"). The terms of the Merger are set forth in 
an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") 
dated as of November 12, 1997, among ITT, Starwood, Chess Acquisition Corp. and
Starwood Trust. In the Merger, each share of Common Stock of ITT ("ITT Common 
Stock") will be converted into the right to receive, at the holder's election,
cash, Paired Shares (as defined below) or a combination thereof with an 
aggregate value of $85, subject to certain collar provisions in the case of 
Paired Shares consideration; provided that the aggregate number of shares of 
ITT Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive cash shall not 
exceed 30% nor be less than 18% of the total number of shares of ITT Common 
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time of the Merger. If the Merger 
closes after January 31, 1998, each holder of ITT Common Stock will also be 
entitled to receive for each share of ITT Common Stock converted in the Merger
additional cash consideration in an amount equal to the interest that would 
accrue (without compounding) on $85 at an annual rate of 7% during the period 
from and including January 31, 1998 to but excluding the date of closing of the
Merger. The shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Starwood and
the shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, of Starwood Trust
trade as "paired shares" (the "Paired Shares") on the New York Stock Exchange.
As a result of the Merger the Starwood Companies will obtain beneficial 
ownership of the Securities. The Merger will result in a transfer of the 
beneficial ownership of the Securities.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, ITT agreed to use reasonable efforts to
enter into agreements to sell assets of ITT, which may include the Securities,
as agreed from time to time between ITT and Starwood on terms acceptable to 
ITT. Any of these agreements could result in a transfer of the beneficial 
ownership of the Securities.

                                   SIGNATURE

        After reasonable inquiry and to the best of his knowledge and belief,
the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this Schedule 13D is
true, complete and accurate.

Dated: November 19, 1997
