tuition fees have jumped 239
per cent in the private colleges
and 2l5 per cent in the public
colleges since 1897. In the
last nine years tuition has in
creased II per cent in all the
colleges combined.
The survey. made by DR..

of Higher Education in WASH

writer exclusively for the North
American Newspaper Alliance.
1t win be made public generally
this summer.
Tuition fees in publicly con-
trolled colleges increased from
an average Of $112 a year in
1949-5o to $l79 at present. The
private colleges showed a more
striking increase. going from
an average Of Sass to $500, or
an increase Of rs per cent.
Ivy Leaguers Pay Most
Many of the Ivy League or
big-name colleges have broken
through the 81 .0O0-a-year mark
and are inching up toward
$500. This does not include
room. board and other expenses.
The average cost of going to
college today is estimated at
$500 for the public institutions
and $4,000 for the private ones.
Thus the parent must expect
to pay from $1,000 to $4,000
for the four-year college
program.
Students who wish to con-
tinue with their professional or
graduate work viii pay still
higher fees. The tuition rates
at medical schools. engineering
schools or other professional
Institutions are substantially
higher than those at the UNDER
graduate liberal arts colleges.
There is grave danger that
the DRIFTING college costs will
freeze out qualified students.

tors, conducted by this writer,

around until they find the col
lege willing to make the highest
grant. That college is not al
ways the one which will give
them the best education; the
student suffers in the long
run"
Dean William F. Griffith of
Colgate University put it this
way:
For many years the Amer
lean public has been willing to
buy automobiles. homes and
insurance on the installment
plan. Why not education?"
On the other hand, a number
of educators warn that If the
burden becomes too great. the
parents will not be able to
send their boy or girl to coll
lege. Marquette University Of
ficials hold that 1t is unreal
Iistic to expect students to carry
the full college costs" The

Sity. is q long-term loan pro-
gram.
Assistance from all financial
sources will be needed to help

But there is another aspect
Of rising tuition fees that is

universities have added to their
scholarship funds. A greater
percentage Of college students
receive scholarships now than
ever before. However. the in
stitutions point out that they
have just about reached their
budgetary limits on scholar
ships.
The Federal Government,
through the National Defense
Act OF 1858. has instituted a
loan policy. Students may
borrow up to 81, 900 a year, and
have 10 years in which to repay
their loans. The catch is,
though. that not enough money
has been allocated. DR.. Law
renee Derthick. United States
commissioner Of education, an
nounced last week that his
Office would have $24.5 million
to give to the Nations COLLEGES
and universities. The colleges
could probably use 10 times
that amount.
Who should pick up the tab
for the college education? Edu-
Gators are divided. Some say
that the parents should carry
a greater share of the costs.
Others want business, industry
or the Government to come to
the rescue.
Parents and students should
carry more Of the cost Of their
education" said c. Russell De
Burlo. jr., controller Of Tufts
University.

When you consider that 3.s

you see a tremendous shift.
This is Just the beginning
According to DR.. Hollis within
10 years two-thirds Of all stu

Private Schools Suffer
"This is a very unfortunate
trend" DR.. Hollis declared

Unless we can find some way
to help students meet the high

DR.. Hollis added that I'll
would be a disaster to let our
private colleges sink"
What is the solution?
In the opinion of some edu-
Gators. including this writer
these two steps must be taken
Immediately: First. q large

500 million a year for student

Second, a Federal loan pro-

thousands of students who find
it difficult If not impossible to
go to college. The loan func

of $500 million should be sci

next fall because Of the high
tuition rates. Those who rec
ognize the Importance Of train
ing the best minds in the en-
cheering, technical and scien-
tific fields are alarmed at this
waste of brain power.
Even though family income
has gone up. the many de-
mands made upon this income,
together with increased taxes.
have made it difficult for the
average parents to send their
child to college. When the
family consists of two. three or
four children approaching col
lege age, the financial straits
become proportionately greater.
During 1856, the rise in
tuition and fee costs for the
first time exceeded the rise in
the cost Of living index" said
DR.. Hollis in an exclusive inter-
view. This should be taken
as a signal that educational
costs to the individual are be-
ginning to make heavy inroads
on family income"
Further Increases Due
Nor is the end in sight. Col
leges everywhere report that
they plan to increase their
already-high tuition fees by as
much as 10 to so per cent.
They point out that even with
higher fees. the operating costs
make 1t impossible for colleges
to remain out of the red.
There is every reason to
expect continuing increase in
the cost Of higher education

and his family for each of the
