Stanford tuition in 1920 = $40/quarter.

"My grandfather never had a drivers license, and he drove both a Model A and a Model T. His university education was free. And it wasn't until 1920 that Stanford introduced a tuition.

"In 1920, to offset the pressures of a fixed endowment income and a rising cost of living, the university introduced a tuition fee for the first time in its history, in the amount of $40 per quarter. The legal document displayed here represents the first available student loan form borrowing at 5% simple interest, and payable within seven years".

My grandfather could raise a very large upper-middle-class family on only one job and one income in New York. Try that now. According to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching the cost of an average tuition since 1920 has risen 42,930%...."
