To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A perfectly smooth sphere is in much the same predicament; while a smooth dumb-bell has five degrees of freedom, one of its rotations being ineffective. But a tun- ing fork, or body susceptible of vibration, has many^ore degrees of freedom than a rigid body can have; and inas- much as molecules appear susceptible of vibration, as evidenced by the spectra they emit, it might be supposed that during their ordinary mutual collisions in a perfect gas many of these vibratory movements would be calle...d out and take part in the action. If so, they would be entitled to some of the energy. Indeed a mechanical theory of Clerk Maxwell's proves that after a great number of prefectly random collisions all the energy imparted to a group of similar bodies will be equally shared, on an aver- age, among all the degrees of freedom which they possess (strictly speaking, among all the degrees of freedom which are effective during collision). If, therefore, a given quantity of energy, say heat, is imparted to a gas, it might n6 Presidential Address be expected that it would be split up into so many equal fractions that the translatory energy of the molecules i.
