This book examines how tuition and student loans became an accepted
part of college costs in the first half of the twentieth century.
The author argues that college was largely free to
nineteenth-century college students since local and religious
communities, donors, and the state agreed to pay the tuition bill
in the expectation that the students would serve society upon
graduation. College education was essentially considered a public
good. This arrangement ended after 1900. The increasing
secularization and professionalization of college education as well
as changes in the socio-economic composition of the student
body-which included more and more students from well-off
families-caused educators, college administrators, and donors to
argue that students pursued a college degree for their own
advancement and therefore should be made to pay for it. Students
were expected to pay tuition themselves and to take out student
loans in order to fund their education.
