To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The degree is an incident, a childish toy, so far as the real function of building up men is concerned. Prizes, honors, badges and degrees, — all these matters have no leading place in the machinery of higher education. If our universities had grown in response to the needs of the people, not in imitation of Digitized by VjOOQ iC NORTH CENTRAL ASSOCIATION 95 the colleges of England, we should never have been vexed by these things, and never have felt any need of them. The American college was b...uilt strictly on English models. Its purpose was to breed clergymen and gentle- men, and to fix on these its badge of personal culture, raising them above the common mass of men. Till within the last thirty years the traditions of the English Tripos held undisputed sway. We need not go into details over the long years in which Latin, Greek and mathematics with a dash of outworn philosophy con- stituted higher education in America. The value of the classical course lay largely in its continuity.
