We are pre-eminently a practical people, and 
our institutions of learning should foster such a 
tendency. In building up this vast country, we 
have little time to theorize—we want result# 
brought about as quickly as compatible with 
thoroughness. 
We give utterance to an honest conviction, 
when we say that the son of every farmer, me¬ 
chanic, merchant, or professional man, should 
go through such a training as is given at East¬ 
man College, il matters not what may be his 
future calling in life; it will give him a practi¬ 
cal turn of mind and method.

H. 0. Eastman, Esq. —Dear Str: Having visit¬ 
ed your Business Institution frequently the 
past few years with great pleasure and salisfae- 
tion, and coming in contact, at. home and abroad, 
with students who had finished the Course of 
Education, from their expressed satisfaction, 
and my own observation of your plan of Pract i¬ 
cal Instruction, I would recommend any young 
man who is desirous of preparing himself for 
the active duties of life—such as Mercantile, 
Commercial, Manufacturing, Banking, or aught 
else wherein the upright, honest, industrious 
man is engaged to place himself under your in¬ 
struction, and thus reap the advantage which 
your institution possesses. 
Yours, M. V ass ah, Jr. 
ALLEN LEVERING, 
Teller In Bank for Nine Months, Now Dry 
Goods Merchant, 
Wood View, Ohio. 
I would advise every young or middle-aged 
man who desii'es to enter business to attend 
Eastman College. 
The public, especially our Young mid Middle- 
aged Men, and the guardians of our youths, arc 
Interested In every effort toward a practical re¬ 
form in our system of education. In the past, 
the young man, leaving school and starting in 
life, found himself Ignorant of nearly every¬ 
thing necessary to the successful 
prosecution of any pursuit by which 
be could obtain a prosperous support . 
This ho saw to be a great evil, mid 
know that the sound practical sense 
of' our American people would cor¬ 
rect it at no distant day. He there¬ 
fore founded a Nation At. Business 
Collkok as an important step In 
that direction, and its past Mice css 
and present prosperity are l>nt I He 
harbingers of still greater progress 
in the future. He adopted for bis 
motto that wise suggestion of the 
Spartan king, “Teacii yoitr Boys 
THAT WHICH THEY Wlbb PRACTICE 
when they become Men,” and estab¬ 
lished an institution purely Ameri¬ 
can and Characteristic of the 
Aoe. devoted exclusively to un ed¬ 
ucation that should qualify a per¬ 
son in flic best tnufiucr, in I he short¬ 
est possible time, and at the least ex¬ 
pense. to insure success in I lie Active 
Business duties of life, and to be eon- 
dud oii in the most dd no'At,, 1N- 
tkkkstxnu manner possible. 
From the day it was founded in 
this beautiful city on the Hudson, it 
has grown in favor, and lie has la¬ 
bored earnestly to im.-ivaid use¬ 
fulness. HU plan of practical train¬ 
ing produced a revolution In the 
Commercial College systom, and the ’ 
great success of his Institution in- - 
dueed the organization of small , - 
Schools and “Chain Colleges," (many 
conducted by incompetent, persons,) : 
in all parts ot tho country, the nut- 
jorlty of thorn copying Ins title and 
claiming to teach his system of Ac- 
tual Business Training. The majori- * 
ty of these commercial schools and 
chain colleges (startedand conducted 
80 unwisely) arc becoming extinct*or 
nearly so, It Is proper that this Iusti- ; - 
tutiou should assort its superior — , 
claims to public patronage, and es- —_; 
tublish its supremacy. — rrr'jtei

We are now obliged to accept the ^ 
fact that Business Colleges, thor¬ 
oughly endowed witli skillful, prac¬ 
tical men, arc the order of the day; 
that they have hecoino a national necessity. The 
best men of the country recognize their useful 
mission, and patronize theta. The young men 
will attend them -more in the future than inthe 
past—and they will avail themselves of the best 
Institutions and facilities that arc offered. The 
student attends a business college but once, and 
he therefore, regardless of distance or location, 
selects tho institution which presents the best 
course of inst ruct ion at the least expense, and 
the one that, by influence or superior business 
relations, can do the most for him at tho tlmeof 
graduating. That tills institution Is what it 
claims to be - theLoading Business University of 
the land decidedly superior in every depart¬ 
ment and every particular, the most reasonable

conclusive to all who will investigate the matter.

From Rev, O. 1). Tbtrchard, T>. D.. Pastor Thirteenth 
Street Presbyterian Church, yen' York. 
Dr. H. G. Eastman — Df/tr Sir: Having rc- 
turncc] Dom a visit to your practical college, 
where I was made familiar with ils workings, I 
take pleasure In expressing my convictions of 
its character and usefulness. In the first place, 
the conception of such an Institution, Including 
the Theory and Practice of Business, qualifying 
young men in the shortest possible time for 
business In all Its scopes and details, Is honor 
enough for any one man, and worthy the ago In 
which we live. Your plan of instruction, so 
unique and comprehensive, so facile and free 
from l lie toll and drudgery of ordinary schools; 
and then your genius, inspiring all and presiding 
overall, havocontributed to make your Insti¬ 
tution Avhat It is, the most successful of modern 
improvement*—a monument of your talent nnd 
Industry, and a hlossing to the land. 1 know of 
no Institution, either in tho Old or New World, 
that roooivos or is worthy of a patronage so ex¬ 
tended as this. Such, l am persuaded, must lie 
tho conclusion of ull who will thoroughly ex¬ 
amine your theory and practice of teaching, 
which If not adapted to make scholars of the 
highest classical finish, yet men of executive 
ability, such as the age and the cxigcucics of 
our country imperiously demand. 
Very respectfully yours, 
G. D. Burg hard.

Since I graduated from your Institution, I 
have deemed it my duty to commend its excel¬ 
lent advantages to my friends, Hod I have th© 
satisfaction of informing you that lorty-elght 
have entered from my native county alone. 
Still greater is ray satisfaction that tlte majority 
of these young men have exceeded their own 
expectation, as well as that of their friends, and 
are prospering in business positions, to which 
you and your famous Institution have promoted 
them. Although the distance to your oity is 
considerable, th© Buckeye boys feel that the su¬ 
perior advantages and attractions twenty times 
outweigh that. 
He therefore jxisitlvdn asserts,— That Ids Course 
of Practical Training is the best known for all 
who desire to prepare for Active, Successful 
Business Life at tho least expense of lime and 
money; that lie cun assure Parent# who desire to 
flt their sons for a prosperous, honorable future, 
in a short time ftnd at a reasonable expense, bet¬ 
ter advantage* here than are offered elsewhere; 
anti that, with his infinenoc in business circle*, 
lie can do more for Young Men starting in life, 
ami seeking susceesful honorable an ploy mad, and 
for Middle-aged Men who desire to change their 
business for something more remunerative or 
better suited to their tastes or capacities, than 
any other educator in the nation. 
He will prove those assertions to be true to 
anyone who will visit his Institution, or who 
will address him for particulars. 
He also as&irts.— That during tho past live years 
lie lias assisted more Young and Middle-aged
