公众对美国高等教育成本不断上涨的担忧，经常导致学生及其家长和政策制定者辩称，上大学已经变得负担不起了。认为今天的大学学费“太高”的说法是有问题的，因为没有历史背景，大学的成本和价格是如何随着时间的推移而变化的，这是无法检验的。这一分析试图通过联系一个世纪前大学学费和其他费用的过去和现在来弥补这一空白。
Public concern about rising costs of higher education in the United States often leads students and their parents along with policy makers to argue that college has become unaffordable. The claim that the price of college today is “too high” is problematic because it is untestable without historical context on how the costs and price of college have changed over time. This analysis attempts to remedy that void by connecting past and present in looking at college tuition and other expenses from a century ago.
