Is Going to College Too Expensive?

During the past year, according to the Federal Office of Education, tuition and fees at state universities rose 11 per cent for residents of the state where the universities in question are situated. Costs of tuition and lodging and food have increased annually ever since the Roosevelt Recession, of course. And as the tremendous expansion of state colleges and universities since the Second World War has raised great fiscal problems for state governors and legislators, in several states there has been an effort by state governments to increase tuition so that the students will have to pay a somewhat greater share of the actual cost of their own instruction.
