139. ALDEN, VERNON R. College Administration in Rapidly Changing Economy. Assoc. Amer. Coll. Bull., 43: 534-548, Dec. 1957. (Author: Associate Dean, Graduate School of Business Administration, Harvard University.)

"Colleges and universities have steadily increased their charges in the past decade, and I believe that we must continue to raise the price tag on a college education. . . . All of us are familiar with the case of a minister or widowed school teacher making $2,800 to $3,200 annually who contributes substantially to the support of children in college. On the other hand, we all know of families with incomes of $20,000 or more who permit their sons and daughters to apply for financial aid on the ground that they cannot help them with their educational expense. It is about time that those of us in colleges and universities become a little more hard headed on this subject." Suggests addi. tional scholarship funds and student loans. Reports experience of Harvard Business School with student loans, up to $2,500 for 2 years of graduate work, totaling $3 million in 40 years, with losses of less than 1 percent.

141. BAUMBACK, CLIFFORD M. A Study of the Financial Resources of Students of Public Institutions of Higher Education in Iowa. Iowa City, Iowa: Bureau of Business and Economic Research, State University of Iowa, Mar. 1959. ii,21 p.

Based on 70 percent reply to questionnaires sent to a 1/20th sample of students and their parents in each of the three State institutions of higher education, a proportion of replies "higher than would normally

be expected in this kind of survey." Conclusion: "Parents are the (or guardians) principal means of financial support for the average student registered at a State institution of higher learning in Iowa. On the average, they bear about 43 percent of the total costs incurred by the students while attending college. "The students themselves bear approximately 37 percent of such costs. The balance is paid with income derived from scholarships, loans, and other secondary sources."

Reports plan adopted at Bennington College. "The charge for tuition, room, board, and health services was increased $400 to the full cost, $2,650. . . . However, the plan encompassed a provision for adjusting fees to family resources. . . . Thus total charges

range

downward from $2,650 to $1,050." Conclusion: "From the beginning of the College Scholarship Service, it has seemed to me inevitable that most colleges and universities, including publicly supported institutions,

would in the end adopt such a plan as Bennington's."

Estimates need for $6 billion per year additional by 1968. Suggests raising half of it by increase in tuition rates. 156. Pricing Higher Education.

"A fuller version of the problem of pricing of college services, presented in a 3-year study financed by the Ford Foundation, will be available in about a year. That version, which includes material not presented here, stresses the case for higher tuition on grounds of equity and practicality."

Two articles, pro and con. Dr. Harris favors higher tuition "simply because, on the most favorable assumptions on tapping alternative resources, we cannot find the $7 billion additional we need by 1970." Dr. Russell is opposed because raising tuition tends to "discourage or prevent large numbers of capable young people from attending college."

Moreover, Internal Revenue data indicate that they have not increased as rapidly as individual or family incomes after the payment of Federal income tax."
