To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The numbers of the Old Guard are gradually diminishing, but the golden cord that has bound us together so long still encircles the survivors. Of the illustrious dead, how shall I venture to make up the record? Merrick, Keating, Patterson, Strickland, Bache, Peale, Frazer, Lukens, Baldwin, Tyler, were chiefs on the roll of the departed. George Washington Smith, Carey, Emerson, Cres- son, Wiegand, Booth, Roberts, Trego, still survive, with their love for the Institute undiminished by age. Did spa...ce permit, I might swell to a large extent this list of devoted men; but I content myself with the types I have selected, and say in all sincerity, of 39 those not named, that the working force of the In- stitute was imbued with the spirit of such chiefs. I now close my attempt to place before you a his- tory of the Institute. It has honorably lived for half a century; it is again endowed with the invigoration of youth and earnestness; it has all the experience of the past in its treasure house ; it has all the bright promise of the future for its encouragement.
