| Salute - Purdue University president retires. |
Someone wisecracked that most universities are investment companies with a college attached. The endowments - permanent piggy-banks - keep expanding while the school and tuition grows.
Augustana College in Rock Island now has tuition, board, books, and et-ceteras at $62,000 a year. They also bragged about endowment gifts, not giving the total, which is listed at $166 million.
Yale's endowment is $42 billion.
We met a Notre Dame mother who said her daughter was accepted because the family did not request any tuition help.
Notre Dame annual cost is now at $76,000.
Yale is $80,000 so ND is a bargain!
Grand Canyon University has kept tuition down, in part by becoming non-profit and no longer paying $300 million a year in taxes. They are way below Augustana, Yale, and Notre Dame.

| Sterling is the main library at Yale University. We went to see Roland Bainton there, where he had an office. He helped me with my dissertation and offered to do some xeroxing for me! |

The interior of Sterling boasted one of the largest card catalogs ever. Computers replaced them. |
