I know Dudley,  My tuition in the late sixties was something like 400-500 a 
semester.  I really don't remember but it wasn't all that much.  When I went 
back to school in the mid 80's I had a full time job and just wrote a check 
for my tuition in a private college.  I don't know what happened in the 90's 
up til now but a lot of professors must have gotten a big raise!
