      You've never heard of land-grant schools?

      Yes, I attended one. Granting land for establishment is not the same thing as funding and regulating.

      So, the land that was granted by the state was not an asset retained by the school? And the state did not condition the grant on preconditions like agricultural research? I mean, I get your larger point, but your logic is faulty here, IMHO.

      There was no ongoing funding. Read my original tweet. I said "funded". Also, land grant colleges required military training. They were a response to the South's better military schools re the civil war.

      Okay, gotcha. So, the public thing of lasting value legislatively appropriated with significant preconditions that I replied with is somehow not as meaningful as the narrowly construed thing of value you initially tweeted about.

      We're not discussing "important", we're discussing what caused the explosion in cost.

          Well, your entire point seems to based around the faulty assertion that higher education was entirely private in 1930, when that hadn't been true since the rise of publicly funded higher education ~100 years prior Not saying you're completely wrong, but you sure ain't 100% right
