Silas Sadler Packard (1826 - 1898) established the "Bryant, Stratton & Packard's Mercantile College" in New York City in 1858. In 1867 he bought out Bryant & Stratton, and changed the name of the school to "Packard's Business College". He was the author of the "Bryant and Stratton Book- keeping Series", "Packard's Complete Course of Business Training", "The New Packard Commercial Arithmetic" and "Packard's New Manual of Book - keeping and Correspondence", and other business related titles. Samuel Calvin Tate Dodd was a lawyer, a friend of S.S. Packard, and well known through his work for John D. Rockefeller. He devised trusts that enabled Rockefeller to own multiple oil companies, and defended him against accusations that the conglomerate was a monopoly.
