To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"It is also the proctor's duty to take care that the cap and gown are worn in the university. Few proctors interfere except in the High Street, and public places. If you say you are going for a wait, or if it appears likely, from the time and place, you are allowed to pass; otherwise, you may be sent back to college to put on your academicals. *^ The most amusing story of proctorising is told of a very distinguished university character in his younger days. He had been frequently annoyed at bei...ng sent back to put on his academicals ; which of late years has only signified cap and gown, the rest of the academical dress being allowed to pass away with the fashion of the times. At length this re- fractory youth dressed himself in knee breeches and buckles, and complied as exactly as possible in every particular likely to seem most absurd to modem eyes. Thus disguised, he soon put himself , in the proctor's way, who began: — ** * Sir 1 how dare you persist in appearing without academicals, and in this figure too?' " * Pardon me, sir,' was the reply: *I believe that you are the party at fault ; I have carefully dressed myself according to the statute, and I fear your dress is much more modern.' " *Then, ridiculous as you have been at the pains of making yourself, I have only to say, you are without a very distinguishing part of the academical PBOCTOEISING.
