13 MOST EXPENSIVE Universities In The World!
The world’s priciest universities! Find out which universities are the most expensive with the highest tuition in the world!
9. Tufts University ($56,382)
Tufts University came into being in 1852 after it was chartered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is located in Medford and Somerville. The land was originally owned by Charles Tuft who said, “I will put a light on it,” when asked what he planned on doing with the land. So, every year, all of the freshmen light their own candles on the President’s Lawn during their first night there. Some notable people who graduated from Tufts College are eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, Warner Bros. Television CEO Peter Roth, and Space Shuttle Discovery commander Frederick Hauck. Attending this university costs students around $56,382 every year.
8. Amherst College ($56,426)
This college was developed from a secondary school called Amherst Academy in 1821. Originally there were only forty-seven students. However, it grew rapidly, and in the mid-1830s, it became the second largest school in the United States. Something interesting about Amherst is its library; it is named after the famous American poet, Robert Frost, who worked at the college as an English professor and Simpson lecturer for about forty years. Amherst College has come to be known as one of the best regarding quality teaching because there is a significant amount of student-professor interaction. Around ninety percent of the classes have less than thirty students, and the ratio of students to faculty members is approximately eight to one. Perhaps this is the reason Amherst was ranked ten times as the number one liberal arts college in the United States out of two hundred sixty-six. It’s probably also the reason that tuition is so expensive. The yearly fee to attend this school is $56,426.

Saskia Sassen, the Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at Columbia University and a member of its Committee on Global Thought, joined Spanish Professor and host of NPR's In Contrast, Ilan Stavans, for Globalism and Its Discontents, as part of this year's Point/Counterpoint series.
Transcript:
The rise of populism worldwide today, personified by Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, is a fierce reaction to globalism policies of the past few decades. Anti-immigration movements in Europe and the United States; assaults on free speech; racial profiling; polarized politics; intolerance for gender, economic and linguistic diversity; the building of walls and the renegotiation of international trade treaties; the tension between rural and urban communities; and the questioning of the basic tenets of pluralism are some of the symptoms. Democracy itself might be at peril.

Noah Webster: Father of the American Engish Language
Noah Webster
Every possible reezon that could ever be offered for altering the spelling of wurds, still exists in full force; and if a gradual reform should not be made in our language, it wil proov that we are less under the influence of reezon than our ancestors.
- Noah Webster describing the need for standardized spellings in his Collection of Essays and Fugitiv Writings
Noah Webster, born October 16, 1758 in Connecticut, has been called the Father of American Scholarship and Education. He was a teacher, lexicographer (a person who compiles dictionaries), textbook pioneer, English-language spelling reformer, political writer, editor, and prolific author.
Noah Webster attended Yale, Connecticuts first college, and graduated in 1778 at the age of 16. He wanted to continue his education and study law, but his parents couldn't afford more money for schooling. So, Webser began work as a teacher.
Most textbooks during this time came from England and pledged allegiance to King George. Webster came to realize that the American education system needed updating! He believed Americans should learn from American books. Thus began his lifelong efforts to promote a distinctively American education.
So, what did Webster do first? He wrote his own textbook which was published in 1783! It was called: A Grammatical Institute of the English Language. For decades, Webster's book taught children to read, spell and pronounce words. It popularity in its time was unsurpassed, selling nearly 100 million copies.
Due to his success, Webster went on a nation-wide lecture tour from 1785-1786, encouraging the American public to change its dialect to signify America's newfound independence and to get support for his textbooks and for copyright legislation. During this time, he rubbed shoulders with political leaders like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, working with the Constitutional Convention and the new postal service.
He then moved to New York City and founded The American Magazine, featuring essays on the new Constitution, history, education, and good morals. He also published Dissertations on the English Language, then moved back to Connecicut.
In 1789, Noah married Rebecca Greenleaf, the daughter of a rich man from Boston. During their long marriage, they had eight children and numerous grandchildren.
In 1790 Webster published: Governor Winthrop's Journal; A Collection of Essays and Fugitive Writings; The Little Reader's Assistant; and The Prompter.
In 1793 he began publication of The American Minerva ( a Federalist Party newspaper) and the semi-weekly Herald.
In 1798 Webster served in the state legislature.
In 1800, he published A Brief History of Epidemic and Pestilential Diseases.
1806, A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language is published.
In 1812, the Webster family moved to Amherst, MA where ge again served in the state legislature. There, Webster helped to found Amherst College.
In 1822, Webster finally got his Doctor of Law Degree from Yale University.
In an effort to further research the dictionary, he traveled to France and England, and in 1828 Noah Webster publishes An American Dictionary of the English Language, the dictionary we now today simply refer to as, “Webster’s”.
In his final years he visited Washington, D.C to further copyright legislation, addressed the House of Representatives and dined with President Andrew Jackson.
Noah Webster died on May 28th 1843 at the age of 86. His influence on American life and language is larger than many of us know and he was a pioneer in countless fields. His publications were part of America's cultural revolution. His ideas influenced the founding fathers, and helped shape laws as we know them today. His legacy as the father of the American English language and a creator of the national identity is permanently etched into our American history.

A Lawyer's Reflections on Dealing with the Ultimate Punishment (2003)
Turow was born in Chicago, to a family of Russian Jewish descent. He attended New Trier High School, and graduated from Amherst College in 1970, as a brother of the Alpha Delta Phi Literary Society. He received an Edith Mirrielees Fellowship to Stanford University’s Creative Writing Center, where he attended from 1970 to 1972. In 1971, he married Annette Weisberg, a painter. They divorced 35 years later. He married Adriane Glazier in a private ceremony on May 29, 2016. The officiant at the wedding was humorist Dave Barry.
Scott Turow later became a Jones Lecturer at Stanford, serving until 1975, when he entered Harvard Law School. In 1977, Turow wrote One L, a book about his first year at law school. After earning his Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree cum laude in 1978, Turow became an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Chicago, serving in that position until 1986. There he prosecuted several high-profile corruption cases, including the tax fraud case of state Attorney General William Scott. Turow also was lead counsel in Operation Greylord, the federal prosecution of Illinois judicial corruption cases.
After leaving the U.S. Attorney's Office, Turow became a novelist and wrote the legal thrillers Presumed Innocent, The Burden of Proof, Pleading Guilty, and Personal Injuries, which Time magazine named as the Best Fiction Novel of 1999. All four became bestsellers, and Turow won multiple literary awards, most notably the Silver Dagger Award of the British Crime Writers' Association.
In 1990, Turow was featured on the June 11 cover of Time, which described him as Bard of the Litigious Age.[4] In 1995, Canadian author Derek Lundy published a biography of Turow, entitled Scott Turow: Meeting the Enemy (ECW Press, 1995). In the 1990s a British publisher bracketed Turow’s work with that of Margaret Atwood and John Irving, republished in the series Bloomsbury Modern Library.
Turow was elected the president of the Authors Guild in 2010[5][5] and was previously president from 1997 to 1998.[citation needed] As the Authors Guild president he has been criticized for his copyright maximalist and anti-ebook stance.[6] Turow has often responded that he is not against E-books and does the majority of his own reading electronically. His goal, he said often, is to protect writing as a livelihood.[7]
From 1997 to 1998 Turow was a member of the U.S. Senate Nominations Commission for the Northern District of Illinois, which recommends federal judicial appointments. In 2011, Turow met with Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig to discuss political reform including a possible Second Constitution of the United States; according to one source, Turow saw risks with having such a convention, but believed that it may be the only alternative given how campaign money has undermined the one-man-one-vote principle of democracy.[8]
Turow is a partner of the international law firm Dentons having been a partner of one of its constituents, the Chicago law firm of Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal. Turow works pro bono in most of his cases, including a 1995 case where he won the release of Alejandro Hernandez, who had spent 11 years on death row for a murder he did not commit. He was also appointed to the commission considering the reform of the Illinois death penalty by former Governor George Ryan. He was the first Chair of Illinois' Executive Ethics Commission. He served as one of the 14 members of the Commission appointed in March, 2000, by Illinois Governor George Ryan to consider reform of the capital punishment system.[2] Turow also served as a member of the Illinois State Police Merit Board 2000-2002.
