The 1870s Cedar Rapids area offered Coe Collegiate Institute, Cornell College, and the University of Iowa with tuition of five to six dollars per term for common and classical courses. The history traces early institutions from 1851 to 1876, including the rising prominence of Cornell and the complex path of Coe from institute to college amid funding and relocation efforts. It notes student pathways to Iowa City and a 1860 reopening admitting women.
