I wish I'd gone to college in 1823 [Monday, Sept. 19, 2005, 2:48 pm] I had to share this: http://mainememory.net/bin/Detail?ln=12371&display=full_page&fin=1 See, my lit. class is using Mainememory.net to find all kinds of historical documents and images about our selected topics, and I came across Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's tuition bill from Bowdion College in 1823. It was $14.25 for one term. And something like 33 cents for books? What is the tuition now - $30,000 per year? Talk about inflation. Well, I've got other things could be doing now (I won't bore you with the list), so I'll write a real entry later. *Laura* wander -- travel Miss anything?
