To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The answer is that though one in thirty of the graduates of Harvard, from 1636 to 1700, had come from this distant town, yet the area of the colony of New Haven had been as yet manifestly too small for a separate college of its own. Exactly how much Mr. Pierpont had personally to do with the new movement which was at once attempted can now, after two centuries, never be precisely ascertained. But from tradition, and from what we know of his sagacity, and from the leading part which he took ever... after as long as he lived in all that con- cerned the college, we may feel sure that it was he who suggested that the solution of the problem was to be found in enlarging the area from which the institution was to draw its support. In the first place, it was proposed that an effort should be made to widen this area on the East. Up to this time, the idea of a college had been entirely a New Haven idea. The people of that colony had been from the first a singularly homogeneous people. They cherished the tradition also of having been originally independent.
