William Guest argues that Milton Mount College was founded to educate daughters of Congregational ministers who cannot afford high fees. He contends a fixed sliding scale risks inequality and humiliation for poorer pastors, and supports donations beyond fixed payments. He cites an 1872 appeal signed by church leaders stating the object was to educate daughters of ministers unable to meet costs.
