Thinking about "illation" brought me to "intuition", and I discovered that contrary to what I had assumed, it is not cognate with "tuition". I had always thought "intuition"
was comprehension not acquired from teachers.

In reply to:
from tueri to look at/from tueri to watch over
I'd say that I have to 'watch over' my daughter's tuition, which is extremely high--and I also have to carefully 'look at' my intuition, which, although fairly good, can be as blasted wrong as my thought processing.

College tuitions have increased way out of proportion to inflation. Harvard tuition in the thirties was $400 per annum. I don't know what it is now, but I suspect it is forty times what it was then.
