Costs of Higher Education Rise Across Institutions
The piece argues that the overall cost of higher education is climbing, with universities such as Illinois seeking $5 million more for buildings over a decade. It notes rising materials and labor costs, architectural grandeur, and advanced equipment, but warns instruction quality must not suffer. It highlights the need for aid to students of small means and suggests a well invested fund can sustain scholars across generations. It also touches on veterans turning to farming and examples of maimed soldiers pursuing agricultural careers in England.
