To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had it been free from debt in 1869, and able to boast of an endowment yielding a handsome income, the course pursued towards it would have been very different. Prior to the war it was well endowed and prosperous. Its Trustees were not compell- ed to look long or far away for Professors to fill its vacant chairs. Its defects, though observed, were not eagerly published. The tongue of scandal was silent. True friends are sometimes more clearly revealed in the dark- ness of adversity than in the l...ight of prosperity. While the debts of the University are unpaid, and it continues to be made a theme of political discussion by the press and upon the stump, there can be but little hope of its real prosperity and usefulness. So long as it is felt that the whole character of the Institution must be affec- ted by the ascendency of this or that party, it cannot re- ceive the confidence and support of the people. There should be one place, at least, in North Carolina to which our youth may retire from the din and heat of party strife, to pursue in quiet the walks of Literature and Science.
