Against this line of reasoning comes the argument that Harvard is arbitrarily rich and should pay out more without charging students more. This is not the place for an extended analysis of how Harvard prioritizes various current needs and its obligation to pass a healthy institution along to future generations. I would only note here that as to direct expenditures on behalf of students, financial aid--which is money directly into the pockets of many of our students--has in recent years been the number one priority.

(But be sure to compare competing models' costs for replacement ink cartridges.) Scanners have been remarkable too. The current crop produces rich images at prices considerably lower than those of even a year ago--$100 buys a perfectly adequate machine. These two products are truly digital revolutions.
