What reading level is Aspects of Modern Oxford book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It never seems to be quite clear whether we are going too fast or too slow. We are always reforming some- thing, yet are continually reproached with 195 Aspects of Modern Oxford irrational conservatism. Change and perma- nence are side by side — permanence that k)()ks as if it could defy time : 'TIk- fiinn remains, the hinction nc\cT dies, ' and \'et all the while the change is rapid and complete. Men go ciown, and are as if they had never been : as is the race of leaves so is that of undergrad...uates ; and so tran- siently are they linked with the enduring existence of their University, that, except in the case of the minority who have done great deeds on the river or the cricket-field, they either pass immediately out of recol- lection or else remain only as a dim and distant tradition of bygone ages. An under- graduate's memory is very short. For him the history of the University is comprised in the three or four years of his own resi- dence. Those who came before him and those who come after are alike separated from him by a great gulf ; his predecessors are infinitely older, and his successors im- measurably younger.
