classes
In the 1960's-70's tuition at the University of Calgary was only a few hundred dollars being a newly formed school and trying to attract many people. The city was in the midst of an economic boom, there was lots of money being made off of oil, and jobs were plenty. The brothers paid for the classes just because they could, it was a big joke. I'm not sure off hand on the exacts for tuiton levels, but it was something like 1960's $2-300, 70's $400-500, 1980's $600-800, 1990's $1200 by 2004 $4300. It just really says something about rising tuition levels vs. rate of inflation.
