Their Relation to Higher Educational Finance 37 It is illuminating to examine conditions in some of the individual institutions as shown in Table 4. The University of Arkansas, for instance, asks no fees of resident students in Arts and Science, Engi neering, or Agriculture. Courses in Law and Medicine, on the other hand, are charged for, though these fees are but nominal. The charges are irregulär and no valid reason can be assigned for their imposition from a scientific standpoint. Political expediency and budget deficits, no doubt, are the causes of such a distribution of fees and tuition, and has coincided with wisdom in the case of Arts and Science. Another interesting case is the University of Wyoming with straight charges for residents and non- residents in all the different schools. As for the lack of distinction made between residents and non-residents in these institutions, it is not of con- cern here, for it is due more to political factors than to educational policies. The fact that charges are the same in all schools is worth noting for the present study, and with Wyoming must be included Wisconsin, Purdue, Missouri, and Washington (with the exception of charges in the Law School). The conclusion is self-evident. In many cases charges are not in proportion to economic benefits to the individual; in a few cases there seems to be a tendency to make adjustments in this respect, such as, for example, in Nebraska and Michigan, although even in these cases where the proportioning of charges between schools seems well-balanced, there is little upon which to found a belief that there is a proper balance of charges between the Student and the state. It should be added that in Arkansas, Colorado, Kentucky, and Wyoming there are extra fees for laboratorv courses. This, however, does not invalidate what has been set forth. Comparative Fees and Tuitions in Private Institutions The same general conditions are to be found in the private institu tions. In the relationship between the Student and the Corporation, the former is far from bearing his share of the expense. He does, however, bear a larger proportion than in the public institutions. This is inevitable, since private universities receive money from the state only in a few instances and the sums so received are small. It may be seen in Table 5 that charges in the various schools in private institutions bear no relation to the economic value of the training. In 1924-25 the fees and tuition Were as followS : Increase Fixed Charges Since 1900- Engineering $283 $71 Medicine 275 109 Arts & Science 247 163 Law 213 105 Graduate School 127 —3
