Dartmouth will follow Yale and Princeton in raising its tuition, beginning next fall. Although tuition will go up from $600 to $900, the overall increase will be only $180, as the student service fee will be cut from $200 to $80 at the same time.
President John S. Dickey in a memorandum accompanying the announcement, said a large part of the new income will be used to raise teachers' salaries. "In addition to adjusting to generally rising costs, the Trustees are determined to keep the college's salaries at levels that will attract and hold the best teachers," he said.
Reflects General Trend
Dickey added the increase in part reflected the same general inflation in costs that has led other Ivy League schools to raise charges for next year. Yale increased its tuition by $200 last November, and Princeton followed in January with a $150 boost.
