General Eisenhower's Office Gettysburg College Campus House 120 Chamberlin Room Un-posted Highlights: Eisenhower House - 120 Chamberlin RoomThe Admissions Office is located in the Eisenhower House at 300 Carlisle Street, Gettysburg, PA Postcard Back Description ~ "This building situated on the beautiful Gettysburg College Campus is used by General Eisenhower and his staff as their office. It is here that statesmen from throughout the world visit and confer with former President Eisenhower." Tensions that threatened to tear America apart were already simmering in 1832, when anti-slavery theologian Samuel Simon Schmucker founded what would become Gettysburg College. Five years later, the Lutheran-affiliated institution—then known as Pennsylvania College—moved into Pennsylvania Hall, built on land provided by abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens, whose illustrious career in Congress included authorship of the 14th Amendment, which guaranteed full civil rights to citizens of all states. When the Civil War erupted, the College stood in its midst. Elements of two great armies swept through campus on July 1, 1863, the first day of the decisive Battle of Gettysburg. Pennsylvania Hall became a hospital for hundreds of soldiers from both North and South. Only months later—on Nov. 19, 1863—townspeople, students and faculty marched to hear Abraham Lincoln hallow the National Cemetery with his immortal Gettysburg Address. An 1851 graduate of Gettysburg College, David Wills, invited Lincoln to deliver a few appropriate remarks. Each fall first-year students recreate the procession through town to hear an honored guest read the Address and Gettysburg College remains nationally known for Civil War programs. A half-century later, Dwight D. Eisenhower took command of a tank training camp on the Gettysburg Battlefield. “Ike” rose to become Supreme Allied Commander in Europe during World War II and President of the United States from 1953 to 1961. Following his presidency, he returned to Gettysburg to live. President Eisenhower served on Gettysburg College’s Board of Trustees. He wrote his memoirs in the College’s Admissions Office, known today as Eisenhower House. Over the years and through both accident and choice, Gettysburg and the College have been at the crossroads of civil rights discourse. The program focuses on some watershed moments—President Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, President Eisenhower’s desegregation of Little Rock Central High School, and the Civil Rights Movement—as a benchmark to critically examine the progress of civil rights in the United States. Gettysburg College was founded in 1832 by anti-slavery theologian, Samuel Simon Schmucker, to educate new immigrants to Pennsylvania. It now ranks among the best liberal arts colleges in the United States. The College has long been associated with the life and legacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower. When Captain Eisenhower came to Gettysburg in 1918 to command a training base, the College provided housing for the young officer and his new bride. After World War II, Eisenhower returned to accept an honorary doctorate. Following his presidency, Eisenhower retired to his farm in Gettysburg and took an active part in the life of the College, serving on the board of trustees and maintaining a campus officer, where he wrote his memoirs. It was in 1991 that Gettysburg College first became intertwined with the objectives and mission of the Eisenhower Institute, a relationship that is now cemented in a symbiotic and mutually beneficial way.

Postcard types and eras - Postcards are frequently classified by the era in which they were produced. The following descriptions of five eras refer to cards made in, or especially for, the United States market. There are also some earlier and less common "pioneer" era postcards.Early Twentieth Century - The Golden Age of postcards lasted from the beginning of the century until about 1914. Before World War I, most of the better quality cards were printed in Europe. Postcards were very popular as collectibles, and many were saved. Printing was usually high quality, though many of the comics are cheap looking. Greeting cards are colorful and usually embossed. View cards usually have good detail, deep colors, and no border. Most view cards are based on black-and-white photos with color added. Real photo cards printed on photo paper were made in limited quantities on a wide variety of local subjects. Studio portraits and family snapshots were also often printed as postcards. White Border - White border postcards were produced mainly from about 1914 to 1932. View cards usually have white borders and paler colors than earlier postcards. The printing is usually not as good as that on earlier cards. Paper stock is usually coated and has a flat non-glossy surface. Most of the cards from this era are views. Greeting postcards were less common and usually were not embossed.Note: Some newer postcards have white borders, but they are not considered "white border" postcards.Linen - From 1933 until the early 1950s most U.S. views and comics were printed on card stock with a linen texture. Advertising, large-letter, expositions, and comics from this era are usually colorful and attractive. In my opinion, the view cards from this era are less attractive than earlier or later cards. Real photos of tourist areas were also fairly common in this era. The real photos cards from this era are generally glossier and more contrasty than earlier ones and have titles in white letters near the bottom of the picture.Standard/Chrome - Chrome cards have a glossy surface and are based on color photos. This type of postcard was produced as early as 1939, but was not common until the mid-1950s. Until the mid-1970s most U.S. cards were the "standard" size, approximately 3-1/2 X 5-1/2 inches.Continental/Modern - "Continental" size is approximately 4 X 6 inches. This size was common in Europe earlier than in the U.S. Most of the cards sold in the U.S. since the mid-1970s are this size. View cards are relatively fewer and more generic than in earlier eras. A large variety of subjects have been produced on modern cards aimed at collectors. These include both individual cards and many books of removable postcards. Holiday greeting postcards are available but not very common. They were more common in the 1980s than they are now.Super-sized postcards approximately 5" X 7" have been appearing more recently. These are smaller than most of the over-sized cards of the past, but are too large to mail at the regular postcard rate (maximum size: 6 inches long by 4-1/4 inches high). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~HAPPY eBayING !!!
