Poughkeepsie, New York, 1860s. U/U Acceptance document from the Eastman National Business College located in Poughkeepsie, New York. Red text with red border, Allegorical woman at top left corner. This document is an acceptance to receive instruction at the college. Facsimile signature of Harvey G. Eastman at bottom as President. The college was founded in 1859 by Harvey G. Eastman, and was for a time one of the largest commercial schools in the United States. Eastman college was located in Poughkeepsie NY. Rather than merely being a theoretical school, students gained practical experience in the business arts by actually performing the tasks that would be expected of them in their working careers, a novel approach at the time. The school offered hands-on practice in a mock bank and a mock railway and express office, and also taught book-keeping; a School of Shorthand; which trained students in shorthand, typing, duplicating, and filing; a School of Penmanship, which prepared students to teach writing and pen art; and a School of Telegraphy, which trained students as telegraph operators.
