To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

There is needed a type of scholar intermediary between the high school pedagogue and the university specialist, who can interpret the classics in a large and liberal spirit to American undergraduates, carrying with : him into his task the consciousness that he is formr ing the minds and characters of the fut...ure citizens of a republic. The teaching of the classics thus un- derstood could be made one of the best preparations for practical life, and less might be heard of the stock complaint about wasting time in the study of the dead languages. As to this last charge, we may quote from the most eloquent appeal that has been made of late years for a more liberal study of the classics, — that of Lowell in his Harvard Anni- versary address.
