Re: RPI 2015 Off Season Thread: Another Long Spring and Summer 
Nope-It was the draft version of R&H-but I do not still have it. I am a pack rat and would have it but we had a flood here with Superstorm Sandy and much of my old RPI stuff, including all my Bachelor magazines
() were destroyed. I had all my transcripts that they mailed to my parents and almost all my old books. The tuition was per semester and since my first bill was $1200(RPI paid $1100 via scholarship and my folks paid $100). The second semester was $1515 for 21 credits taken and RPI picked up the same $1100 of it via scholarship and the remaining $315 was a loan given to me at 3% interest and did not have to be paid back until starting one year after graduation(unless payment was deferred by being called into the armed services). I cannot absolutely say for sure, but my second year was $1600 for at least the first semester. i cannot document the second semester of my second year. I did take course at Union College during the summer because at that time they were $40 per credit and RPI accepted the credits in full if i received a B or better in each course. I took 12 credits at Union for a little over $500(I used by NYS Regents scholarship to pay that entire bill) including some extra fees so after my first year I had 39 credits from RPI and 12 from Union for a total of 51 credits.
After practicing medicine for 45 years, i think if i took 51 credits today during one year at RPI I could not afford it.
I assume that you mean 12-18 credits per semester not per year. I didn't think that it went up from as much as from $1200 to $1600 shortly before I arrived. My recollection was back then they raised tuition every two years. It was $1200, $1800, $1800, and $2050 my four years. It was $1600 the year before I arrived, and although I do not know what it was in 1962-3, I would think that it was more than $1200.
The R&H which I used was the 6th printing. I wonder why they used an unbound version shortly before. Are you sure that you aren't thinking of the chem book which was as you described? I wonder if I still have the chem book. R&H I have because I had it at work and it is sitting here now on a shelf with all of the text books which I had at work and brought home when I retired. I never had use at work for chemistry.
In any case it is not really important.
