In "Looking Backwards 2000-1887", (1886) Edward Bellamy wrote as if the college system was eliminated in 1887:

141 - [In 2000] ...Nowadays all persons equally have those opportunities of higher education which in your day only an INFINITESIMAL portion of the population enjoyed...

142 - The expense of your colleges ... would have been far lower if their patronage had been greater…[no one can afford it today, & tuitions are still skyrocketing]

p 45 - The nation does not maim and slaughter its workmen by thousands, as did the private capitalists and corporations of your day."

p 55 - There is neither buying nor selling nowadays... 56 - money was needed in your day simply because the business of production was left in private hands...

Many people were in favor of this idea.
