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

The force of its disci- pline, and the pressure of the joint working of every part of its adjusted machinery would all be brought to bear in one direction, and the confident impetuosity of youthful conceit with its restless desire of change would be quietly regulated. We cannot but hope it is in this direction and after this ideal that the words of the san- guine President of Harvard will be fulfilled, which an- nounce that " the college therefore proposes to perse- vere in its efforts to impro...ve and extend the elective system. " 114 THE AMERICAN COLLEGES The reasons which introduce the " therefore" in this announcement are not especially convincing, being made up of pleasant and obvious generalities with a slight glitter of specious humor. For example : " The enforced and uniform curriculum has the merit of sim- plicity. . So had the school method of our grandfathers, — one primer, one catechism, one rod for all children. " We beg pardon — we had supposed that the " one rod" was electively reserved for those who especially deserved it — and among other reasons for bad logic.
