Wartburg Seminary, Iowa, is somewhere between $13,000 and $17,000.

Little Schoolhouse on the Prairie (aka Bethany) - no information.

Mordor at Mequon - about $20,000 a year. Their advice - marry a girl with a good job. Yes, it is pricey for an education that starts with ritual abuse and ends with a major in Calvinism and a minor in Church Growth.

Concordia, Ft. Wayne. Some tuition is covered. Annual cost - hard to divine from the page.

Concordia, St. Louis. I figure $24,000 for tuition alone. The rest is a puzzle.

ELDONA's Seminary enrollment and costs are not made available "to heathens like you."

Top Universities - Review

Yale Divinity School - Lawrence Eyre and I went there. Lawrence is a Whiffenpoof, the famous singing fraternity for undergraduates. I did eat lunch at Morey's once, the closest I got to being in a singing group.

Roland Bainton, author of Here I Stand, A Life of Martin Luther.

Yale Library - Roland Bainton had an office there. We went to meet him some years after finishing the STM degree. He helped me with my dissertation and offered to do some xeroxing for me! Ann Johnson earned a master's degree in music at Yale, so three of us from the Garfield Elementary School, MHS 66, earned degrees there.

Campanologists love the Harkins bell tower.

National Review has a report on universities, which prompted the nostalgia above. Yale College costs $57,000 for tuition and fees. Add on room and board! The top rated universities were in the same category, $50,000+ for tuition and fees.

Every college and university (with rare exceptions - like Purdue) raised prices as if the debt engine would never run out of gas.

Anton Boisen studied forestry at Yale. No, I am not kidding. Now it is the School of Environmental Studies, though forestry is easier to spell.  Boisen made his mark by championing chaplains at hospitals and similar institutions. The idea was to help people by integrating their illness with Christian care, an idea similar to the Inner Mission, which promoted nursing care and hospitals.
