What reading level is The Changing Conception of the Faculty in American Universities book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" We were free, as few peoples were, from such fearful dangers as poverty, famine and invasion. Men could live free from fear. Careers were here for all who could make them. The elements of material good for- tune were becoming ours beyond any measure known in history. And so the rival ideal of success, first in the outward and then in the sordid way, has been growing with our growth, feeding itself all the while on the old eternal human selfishness. It has of course been true at all times, and... notably so in times of trial like the Revolu- tion and Civil War, that the nobler side has asserted it- self and that men in their thinking and doing "endured as seeing Him who is invisible. " But the times of ease, plenty and self-indulgence have not been friendly to the old college ideal, any more than they are friendly to the homely virtues of simplicity, clear sincerity, scrupulous respect for the rights of others and modest independence.
Moreover, as is almost too obvious to need mention and yet so clamorously important as to need sure remem- brance, our whole life, including its educational prepara- tion, has been getting more and more complex and tense.
