Besting Harvard and Yale, U. to
go free

Taking
a dramatic step toward once again besting Harvard and Yale, the
University is to announce today that it is literally going free,
eliminating tuition, room and board costs for all undergraduates
beginning in the fall semester.
"Eliminating
all expenses of undergraduate study is the greatest thing we could
do to attract students from diverse backgrounds to Princeton,"
President Tilghman said yesterday in an interview. "Rather than
attempting to make our financial aid packages slightly more
favorable than those of our peer institutions, we've decided to go
even further to make attainable the finest undergraduate education
in the world. There is nothing more noble than a topnotch free
education and we have made just that a reality."
