The inflation in college costs is beyond amazing.

Your undergraduate tuition in 1979/80 was not bad but that $2,350 for one graduate course is obscene.

I offer this for comparison. My tuition, room and board from September 1962 through January 1966 per semester was only $540.

My starting undergrad tuition (1976) per semester was $500. I think my first job out of school paid $20K. ROI was a heck of a lot better than nowadays...

Also, I was afflicted by Ralph Nader's negative checkoff on my state tuition bill. I doubt you had the same annoyance in 1964.
