To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For, with many of us, our friendships were commenced in boyhood, when we rested here in the shadow of the granite hills which look down upon us where we stand ; with others the ties of brotherhood were formed in more mature years — while fighting among the lugged mountains and the fertile valleys of Mex- ico — within hearing of the eternal waves of the Pacific — or in the lone'y grandeur of the great plains of the far West. With all, our love and confidence have been cemented by common dan- ger...s and suiFerings — on the toilsome march, in the dreary bivouac, and amid the clash of arras end in the presence of death on scores of bat- tle-field^. West-Point, with her large heart, adopts us al! — graduates, and those appointed f/om civil life — oflicers and privates. In her eyes we are all her children, jealous of her f.iuie and eager to sustain her world-wide reputa- tion. Generals and private soldiers, men who have cheerfully offered our all for our dear country, we stand here before this shrine, ever hereafter sacred to our dead, equals and brothers in the presence of the common death v.hich awaits us all — perliaps on the same field and at the same hour.
