Tuition was $3000 a year when I started in 1974 and it is around $26,000 now (I just double checked it so it is more than 7x what I paid). It's a much better school now than it was when I went there. They've built up their reputation and admission is far more competitive. 26k? That's still cheap! Admissions everywhere are far more competitive than in '74, '84, or even '94. And, many schools are in a race to raise their profile to a national level, University of Richmond excepted. There, the President would like to make it more scholarly, but the students and alumni would prefer to keep their reputation a little more low-brow. Obviously, not all can be successful at the reputation race. I wasn't seriously accusing you of saying there isn't inflation. That's what the <g> meant. It means "grin", right? L2S
