Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Students' Union, University of Alberta v. University of Alberta, 1988 CanLII 3535 (AB QB):
In State ex rel Veeder v. State Bd. of Educ, 33 P. 2d 516 (Mont. S.C, 1934), a fee to provide funds for the discharge of the indebtedness incurred for the construction of a student union building which included an auditorium and would, to a certain extent, be used for the conduct of classes, was held not to infringe the statutory requirement for free tuition. Tuition was defined as follows [p. 522]: ‘Tuition” is from the latin and has the same derivation as “tutor,” from “tuto,” to guard; “tutela,” watching over, protection; “tutio,” care over, guardianship. Thus a tutor is one who teaches; usually a private instructor; “tuition,” “the act or business of teaching the various branches of learning.”
