...first thing to be noted is that the charge for Okura courses is not pro rata. The tuition rate of $250 makes the price of a course $50 for Freshmen and $62.50 for the three upper classmen.

...Business School has voted to limit the first year class to 300, in order that the quality of instruction may not be impaired by large numbers, and in order that no more men may be admitted than can be taken care of. Notwithstanding the increase in the tuition fee to $400 next year, the applications already received more than half fill next autumn's entering class...
