- LETTERS, Page 6Skyrocketing Tuition

- I will be reading your article on the high cost of college
- tuition to my high school students (EDUCATION, Sept. 25).
- Tuition increases may be justified by colleges as lures to
- attract and hold top-rated faculty, but the truth is that these
- professors rarely even see undergraduates, much less teach them.
- Parents and students will have to realize that great research
- universities are not necessarily great teaching institutions.

- An Ivy League college degree does have clout in the job
- market. When I graduated from Brown two years ago, my first job
- was busing tables at a sushi restaurant. After my first day on
- the job, I told the owner where I had gone to college, and next
- day I was made manager.
