6 Seniors Receive Wilson Fellowship
Six UM seniors have received coveted Woodrow Wilson fellowships, it was announced here yesterday.
This means that the University of Miami copped more Wilson fellowships than any other college in the Southeast—while also setting a personal school record.
So explained a jubilant Dr. John I. McCollum, chairman of UM’s graduate fellowships program. “This is the largest number we’ve ever received, although we always have winners.”
The six smiling seniors are: Frank J. Coleman, James R. Ferguson Jr., John W. Fiero, Robert J. Hunter, Gloria M. Konig and Celita P. Lamax.
'The six will each receive a stipend of $1,500 plus family allowance, if any, and full costs of a year’s graduate study at any uni-
versity of their choice.
The only “string” attached to the gift is that the recipient be considering entering college teaching as a career, said Dr. McCollum.
“This fellowship is one of the outstanding ones in the country,” he said, “and the University is extremely proud of these people.
“It is actually a double honor,” continued Dr. McCollum, “since the winners had to be nominated by faculty members.”
Placed in a four-state region— Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama—UM gained more winners than any other university in the region. There were 488 applicants from these four states.
A total of 1259 fellowships were awarded throughout the country.
The tuition increase of $75 a semester for full-time students was announced Tuesday by Dr. Pearson following action by the Board of Trustees.
Tuition boosts will also apply to law, medical and graduate students.
Beginning next September, undergraduate students will pay $450 instead of the present $375. In the School of Medicine tuition will be increased from $400 to $500 a semester. In the Graduate and Law Schools tuition will be increased from $30 to $35 per credit hour.
Tuition fees for excess credit courses and for part-time study will be adjusted similarly.
In a public announcement, Dr. Pearson said:
“lake all other independent institutions of higher learning in the United States, the UM faces higher costs in every phase of its operation. Especially is this true in our most' essential function, that of providing high quality teaching to our students.
“AT THE UNIVERSITY, as in all American institutions of higher education, the tuition a student pays is only a portion of the cost of his education.
“An up-to-date analysis of our current operating costs shows that
tuition covers little more than half these costs, without consideration of the investments in buildings and equipment which are essential to provide the facilities for the complexities of modern education.”
There will be no change, at the present time in the tuition for the undergraduate evening session courses or the summer sessions courses, which are $25 per credit.
Scholarship grants will be increased in proportion with the tuition increase.
“I want to emphasize that scholarship grants will be adjusted in proportion and that every effort will be made by the University administration to assist students with good records to complete their education,” explained Dr. Pearson.
“In addition to scholarships, the UM has long term and short term loan plans to enable students to spread payments for their education over months or years.
“I regret that it is necessary to take this Step, but I am sure it will be understood that the Board’s, action was forced by today’s inflationary trends, A survey of other institutions of higher learning discloses that many are increasing tuition by as much as $200 or $300.”

“Groups interested in entering should stop by Dr. Adams’ office on the second floor of the Student Union and check the groups that { have already entered so we won’t I have duplications of ideas.”
UM Takes A Hike—Again
Tuition like everything else in this “age of inflation” has been on the steady increase. In only a decade the cost of higher education at the UM has risen 150 per cent.
If this is any consolation to students caught in a financial fix next year, the Council for Financial Aid to Education reported two years ago that the tuition for private schools of comparable size was $1,007.
The following shows the five hikes in UM tuition over the last 10 years.
