Tuition Increase

By vote of the Board of Trustees last June, the tuition fee at Dartmouth has been raised from $400 to $450, it was announced by President Hopkins on July 15. The whole charge will not become applicable until the academic year 1937-38, however, the fee for the present year having been increased to only $425 as a step toward the higher figure. The new fees apply to all four classes enrolled in College.

In the announcement mailed to all Dartmouth students, President Hopkins explained the necessity for the increase as follows:

"The policy of the College in recent years of supplying cumulatively sundry services for which usually elsewhere special fees have been charged cannot longer be continued without student participation in meeting the cost of these. It has seemed wiser to the Trustees to include this expense in the tuition charge than to set up a list of separate fees for each individual service rendered, such as for the library, the gymnasium, and recreational athletic program, the respective laboratories, the infirmary, and the greatly expanded health service to be put into operation next fall."
