ca. 1934. Knapp Modern Business College. Several students learn the function of various office machines--dictaphones, typewriters, adding machines, calculators-- in a classroom. Knapp Modern Business College was the first institution in Pierce County to be organized exclusively for business education. Formed in 1921, it had 20 students in its first graduating class. As veterans returned from war, enrollment skyrocketed as they aimed for an education completely oriented to job preparation. ("A History of Pierce County" vol. 1)
