““There is a recent tendency in certain jurisdictions to require contributions to a college education for minor children. However, courts in such cases have taken ‘into account various specific factors, such as the financial ability of the father, the ability and capacity of the child for college work, the nearness of the child to his majority, whether the child is self-sustaining or not, and the father’s willingness to provide for such education, as shoion by some agreement thereto on his part. In a few of the college education cases the courts have had occasion to consider the effect of particular statutory provisions.’ ” (Our emphasis.)”
