Yale School of Music - Tuition Free

Amid the gloom and doomery of the chaotic churning blare of evil tidings that passes for MSM (i.e. mainstream media) news these days, some good stories do sometimes come to light. One such is that an anonymous $100 million gift received by the Yale School of Music allows that institution to, among other things, fully subsidize the tuition of its students. They pay nil. Whoa. That is incredible. Yale's press release is here.

Of course, the alternate view is, why subsidize rich kids back east when thousands of other so-called "more deserving" projects and people are out there, begging for support? Sorry, I don't buy that view. Anyone who spends $100 mil on the arts has my full support. I mean, how much money was wasted on our ridiculous California "special election" yesterday? The mind reels.
