To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Following a series of meetings in 1892, within twenty- four hours 150 students pledged over ten thousand dol- lars — and those were days when Illinois students were still poor! Dr. Burrill actively assisted the campaign, and within a few weeks the total had been brought above fifteen thousand, or five times enough for the purchase of a lot east of the Engineering Building. Though pledges were soon after still further increased to over twenty-five thousand, the panic of 1893 made collection diff...icult, and no plans for building were made.
Class rivalry found much rougher expression in the later years under Dr. Peabody than under Gregory, for 136 YEARS OF DEPRESSION the simple reason that class lines were now definite, class traditions had crystallized, and the growing registration made division into groups natural. By this time long- standing precedent called upon the sophomores to break up the freshman party and to dump the cadets' cannon into the Boneyard. The freshman party was a dinner and dance held in some local hall : the second-year men would steal the best clothes of the newcomers, would break a jug of molasses over the steps, would cut off the gas, would throw "eye-water, " a chemical exciting the lachrymal glands, or would boldly kidnap the Fresh- men.
