16、leges are trying to ease the burden on middle-class families. These years have been the best of times for many of the nations top universities and the worst of times for middle-income families struggling to afford their children to go to top schools. Thanks to a robust stock market, school endowment

17、s have risen quickly. Yet few institutions have held down steep increases in tuition. But that may be changing. Williams College, a prestigious liberal arts school in Massachusetts, announced last month that for the first time in 46 years, its tuition would remain steady at $31,520. Last week studen

18、ts at Princeton University learned that their annual $31,599 tuition, room and board will rise just 3.3% the smallest rise in 30 years. These shows of restraint may signal a turnaround from the sharp tuition increases of recent years, as some schools now consider using their endowments to control pr

19、ice soaring. Since 1980, college costs have more than doubled, after adjustment for inflation, while the median income of families with college-age children has increased only 12%.

22、ent Harold Shapiro. No, because their tuition is fully covered. The school plans to boost scholarships to needy students this year as much as $2,250 a person. To be sure, there is no shortage of families who can afford elite institutions. Despite annual tuition hikes at Harvard, its applicant pool s

23、welled from 13,029 in 1992 to 18,167 last year. Families that equate price with quality have allowed costs at elite schools to be on autopilot (自动驾驶仪), says Gordon Winston, an economist at Williams College. Most wealthy families can afford the high tuitions, and poor families get financial aid, but

24、middle-income families get squeezedand even squeezed out. One reason colleges are curbing tuition increases is to attract those middle-income students. Rice University in Houston uses its $3 billion endowment to guarantee that tuition for sophomores, juniors and seniors will not leap ahead of the co

25、nsumer price index. Another reason for restraint is concern that public outrage will prompt government intervention. Congress is already tackling the issue during two days of hearings this week, and President Bush recently proposed a $31 billion package to make higher education more affordable.What
