Poughkeepsie, New York, 1865. 12.75 x 10 inch colorized list of men who belonged to the 131st Graduating Class from the Eastman National Business College, located in Poughkeepsie, New York. Lists the men as well as their hometowns, with John M. Wilcox from New Brunswick, N.J. highlighted in gold ink, as this piece may have been issued to him. Black text with ornate header, with "Teach your boys that which they will practice when they become men" surrounding with "Excelsior" with start at top center. Fine condition with slight rip at top and bottom. The Eastman Business College was founded in 1859 by Harvey G. Eastman, and was for a time one of the largest commercial schools in the United States. 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. VF condition with a few small archivally reinforced tears that are difficult to see. Rare and early College Business School related ephemera.
