Vassar, Cost What She May

Increasingly has the policy of a "pay-as-you-go" education found favor among eastern private colleges. Among institutions which have recently raised or will soon raise their tuitions are: Yale, Princeton, Bryn Mawr, M. I. T. Added to this list last week was Vassar. Effective in 1931, parents of Vassar girls will pay $1,200 a year for their daughters' tuition and living expenses at Poughkeepsie, an increase of $200. Town girls will be charged a tuition fee of $500. Trustees explained that the college's additional income will relieve "the strain on overburdened endowments," "pay better salaries to teachers, maintain the institution's physical property. In justification of their move, the Trustees pointed out that Vassar's clientele had suffered nothing from the last tuition increase (1925). They cited the words of Founder Matthew Vassar: "I go for the best means, cost what they may, and corresponding prices in return."
