The cost for college was high, relative to average income, and there were tuition costs, at least according to other sources, but that was not the real cost of college. The cost was what it took to get in. From that source (sorry, its a terribly anti-"white privilege" piece, but I am more interested in the statements of facts than the agenda of the author).
In the schools’ earliest decades, wealthy white students weren’t just privileged in admissions; they were essentially the only ones considered. Up until the end of the 19th century, campuses were generally populated by graduates of private high schools who performed well in school-specific criteria and on entrance exams. When it was first founded, Harvard based its admissions decisions on subjective judgments of students’ character and family background as well as their demonstrated proficiency in Latin and Greek.
It doesn't matter how much it costs if you can't get in unless the Rulership of the school (part of the Aristocracy/Cabal) "approves" of you AND your family name. Plus you have to have already attended secondary school, which WAS expensive, or have had a private tutor to teach you all the Greek, Latin, math, science, etc. you needed to get in to school.
it did require you to have "disposable" income.
NO ONE had disposable income except the wealthy. Not necessarily the 1%, but top 10-20% at least.
Top 10-20% is not "humble" by any measure except when ignoring the other 80-90%.
