To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In our colleges everything is planned for the average man. We make only inadequate provision for men capable of doing an unusual quantity of work. Our prizes and other distinctions are usually granted for superior quality only, and are commonly so meagre as to attract but few competitors. In England the case is different ; there, for men of more than average capacity for work, a larger amount of reading and research is provided leading to the bachelor's degree with Honours ; of the men of avera...ge or less than average capacity, less work is exacted, leading to the so-called "Pass" degree. And it is to the credit of our English brethren that nearly one-half of the graduates in arts take the Honours course, and not a beggarly five per cent, as in the United States. It is possible that some of the defects in our collegiate systems of study may be remedied by a recognition of this difference, the difference in power to work, along with our ample recognition of differences in tastes.
It is the happy privilege of a new institution, biased and bur- dened by no traditions — "No hungry generations tread thee down" — that it can approach the problems of education with a clear and open mind, can make an independent and original attempt at solution, and may even, always with a view to the common good, guardedly venture to undertake experiments.
