What reading level is Reminiscences of Old Cambridge book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the back it had a pleasant garden, surrounded by a high board fence, stretching into the present College Yard so far as to include a part, at least, of the site of Gray's Hall. The President's office was in the upper story of the annex to the main house, still standing but moved from its original position.
20 THE CAMBKIDGE HISTORICAL SOCIETY [Oct.
The relations of President Quincy to the students through his whole administration, 1829 to 1845, were excellent. The number of undergraduates was... still small enough to admit of his having some personal acquaintance with most of them. The esprit de corps was strong in the College, and the President's relations to the students were much like that of a colonel to the men of his regiment who feel that, though he commands them, he is still one with them in interest and in sympathy. President Quincy was wise enough to be patient with the students' faults, and had humor enough to smile at their follies. They regarded him with a respect which his force of character and his distinguished career and personal bearing naturally inspired, together with a certain affectionate pride as the worthy head and representative of the famous institution in whose honor they themselves had share.
