My graduate student stipend in 1968 was $3000, which is $19,500 in 2012 dollars. I don't remember how much tuition and the health plan cost. We lived in subsidized housing, The rent was $56 per month.
We have about 140 graduate students in our department. Many of them are in the photo along with several much older "students" who earn a lot more money.
