To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chancellor Kimpton said just this in 1959. He called for preserving "a world of diiference," in which "the principle of private education would be careful selection, and the principle of public edu- cation would be broad inclusion." This theory I sometimes pondered at Columbia, thinking of New York University, a private institution of high numbers (near 40,000) and low standards, and City College, a public institution marked by rigid entrance requirements, a specially able and hard-working facu...lty, and a brilliant student body— largely Jewish. The theory there did not fit the facts. Nor did it fit them when I turned my gaze on Duke and North Carolina, Northwestern and Wisconsin, Stanford and California. Once, doubtless, this theory of basic differentiation did hold good, but that day is gone. The fact is that Michigan, Wisconsin, and Cali- fornia nowadays select their students as rigorously as Chicago, North- western, and Stanford, though by different methods; they admit the highest one-eighth or at most one-tenth in high-school standing.
