Cleaning out old documents I found a receipt from my first semester of college my senior year, 1964. It was for $420.00 which included tuition (it was flat rate at the time), room, board, fees, and laundry, everything except books. That would be about $2,300.00 today.

Maybe the olden days really were the 'good old days.' I was teaching at a little private college in Kentucky during the late 70s until 1984. Our band was very small, only one horn, no trombones, a couple of clarinets, etc. No orchestra existed. Yet one day while rummaging in some file cabinets I ran across a school program from the early 50s. The 55 piece orchestra in the cover photo had played Scheherezade on the evening's program. What had happened over the intervening years?!! I'm not sure. I did learn, however, that all those students were on FULL SCHOLARSHIP. A full scholarship was $350.00, which just happened to exactly equal the 'activity grant' that the students are still getting today. The aid amount never went any higher during those years, while tuitions, however, had gone up to about $14,000 a year. Go figure.

My 7th grade band had eight "horns" in the section. ><snip> _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/bgross%40airmail.net _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
