Barnard College plans a tuition increase for 1956 57 to fund higher pay for faculty staff and administrators. Administrators say salaries lag behind 1939 purchasing power while living costs rose, despite a Ford Foundation endowment.
The piece accepts a tuition increase at Barnard as necessary to maintain education quality. It commends the Trustees for deferring final word until student consultation and highlights support for financially needy students including a simpler process for senior transfers and a $100 scholarship pathway.
Barnard College increases room and board charges from 783 to 855 dollars starting September 1936 to cover a deficit of 11,147 dollars in food service and residence operations. President Millicent C. McIntosh cites higher food costs and wage rises as key factors. The college remains cheaper for room and board than Mount Holyoke Smith and Vassar, though rivals with separate facilities charge higher totals.
