[Leica] Harvard tuition

[crgrbrts at verizon.net (Craig Roberts)]

I was accepted for admission to Harvard in 1964 but was unable to attend 
for financial reasons.  Even with a miniscule scholarship (scaled, 
apparently, to my academic achievements) tuition was still -- if I 
recall -- an astronomical $3,500 per semester (though I may have that 
figure entirely wrong).  For my middle-class parents, this was beyond 
all means or reason and the upper limit of my ability to support myself, 
as I soon learned, was about $1.65 an hour.  Besides the inordinate 
expense, Mom and Dad argued, they were not keen for me to be 
"brainwashed by the Commie teachers" in Cambridge. 

So, I matriculated (among other things) at the $200-a-semester 
University of Missouri where I became a Commie journalist (and was 
issued a nifty Rolleiflex MX-EVS for a semester).
