Couild be that some of the rebadged computer stuff comes from their course

No, you are thinking of DeVry, which Bell & Howell owned for a time.
Here is a short history:

My dad worked at B&H in the microfilm division from the early 60s to the mid
80's. I did summer programming there on a black B&H Apple ][ for two or three
years.
Anyone
know any more details? Did Bell and Howell ever do any other
computer-based systems?
Hell and Bowel made and sold all kinds of AV equipment. There were
several things that they sold that had computers, besides their
rebadged ][.
