It discusses budget, past tuition increases, and scholarship programs while urging ongoing financial scrutiny.
Educational income rose by about 315000 from 1957 to 1958 mainly due to higher enrollment. The budget balanced this year but rising costs threaten future balance and faculty competitiveness. Student fees versus national norms questioned amid private college finance debates.
Barnard College urges students to finance education via a mix of work, loans, and scholarships amid tuition challenges.
