Additional Information
The quote "if you think education is expensive, try ignorance" was probably originally written by Robert Orben, a comedy writer and speech writer for President Ford. It has been a favorite saying of Ann Landers since 1975, although she originally credited it to Derek Bok, the president of Harvard.
