Granted that there are many men in college who could well afford to pay three or four times the tuition fee required now, yet from this it should not be argued that they go scot free. Contributions to the endowment fund and class treasuries even up the score; and that the men and parents of the men, in college and out of college, contribute liberally to their Alma Mater, the list of subscribers to the Harvard Endowment Fund will show...
