Cost of a College Education in America in 19th Century
An essay by Professor Charles I. Ytwing in The Forum argues rising costs of a college education in America. It cites Harvard expenses in 1830 and earlier centuries, notes higher costs for food and clothing, faculty salaries rising from 1 000 to 4 000 5 000 annually by 1893, and that libraries and laboratories are vastly more expensive. It concludes that despite higher costs, dedicated students can still obtain an education, though funding remains challenging.
