To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The reasons for this decision are not recorded beyond the consideration ''that so all parts of Connecticut Colony with the neighboring Colony may be best accomo- dated"; but the conjecture is natural that the selection was a compromise. The Connecticut river was still a usual route of travel. Saybrook was at its mouth, and accessible to those who came by water from the towns which looked to Hartford as their natural center and from those of western Massachusetts; while it could be reached easil...y from those stretching along the coast from Stamford to New London. Aside from this centrality of location for a collegiate enterprise that now included all the Colony of Connecticut, Saybrook had, however, little to offer; and the business superiority of New Haven, from the first, was attested by the choice, from 1702 onward, when a Saybrook man resigned or failed to qualify, of residents of New Haven as treasurers of the growing enterprise. Saybrook, also, proved unsatisfactory from a scholastic point of view.
