YALE ANNOUNCES RAISE IN COLLEGE TUITION FEE
Yale University yesterday announced an increase in the undergraduate tuition fee from $400 to $450, to go into effect next fall. The raise in the fee was ascribed to the increased costs of operation.
Additional appropriations will be made to the undergraduate scholarships and loan funds from which self-supporting students receive financial aid of $300 a year.
Questioned on the Yale announcement, W. C. Saeger, Bursar of the University, stated, "There have been increases in students' expenses in recent years here, but I see no change in the college tuition fee in the offing."
