...Truman team as they polished up the $78.5 billion budget that Eisenhower would have to live with in fiscal 1954 (July i, 1953 to June 30, 1954). Before the year was over, Ike abandoned what he called "feast or famine" military policy in favor of the "long haul," with its accent on nuclear air power. Dodge, for his part, pruned $10.8 billion from the Truman budget, worked out a $65.5 billion budget for fiscal 1955, then went home to Detroit,* turning the job over to the man who had been his deputy for a year, Rowland Hughes...
Many departments were already deep in their planning for fiscal 1957; thanks to the long haul, the Air Force, for example, had been programming fiscal 1957 since Oct. 7, 1954. Through the summer, all departments worked out their tentative figures, with assists from the bureau's corps of 150 specialists. ("They're very good," admits Navy Secretary Charles Thomas.)

...real value and that the percentage of the cost of a Harvard education paid for by the student instead of by endowment income has steadily increased. We are relatively considerably poorer than we were thirty years ago and there is, I believe, a significant relationship in the long haul between the quality of education and real per captia endowment income. Adding more students without increasing endowment proportionately would, of course, lesson still further the percapita endowment. It would be possible, by increasing the tuition charge to $2,000 a year, or thereabouts, to make up for shrinking endowment values. This...
