Nason on Education Lets tuition costs outpace family income

A 1962 editorial argues that college costs will rise from 3000 to 5000 dollars per year by 1970 while average family income climbs from 7000 to 9000, urging government loans on need basis with partial forgiveness for completion and full repayment if dropout. It suggests expanding use of college buildings, more community colleges, and stronger dropout interventions to reduce rising higher education costs.
