Costs of Maine College Rise Over A Century
The University of Maine tuition for residents now runs 400 dollars with 700 dollars for board and room, far higher than 1868 when residents paid no tuition and meals cost three dollars a week. Early catalogs showed students earning ten cents an hour on the college farm, and a winter vacation to teach and save money. Comparing 1904-08 expenses to today, a total of 1,583.77 for four years matches roughly a single year now, while modern texts cost more and haircuts, slides rules, and stockings have grown expensive. Cost has risen with living standards and income, though the university was founded to keep higher education affordable for those who could not afford private colleges.
