To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We must also bear in mind the fact that youthful human nature craves and demands occasional relief from the contin- uous strain of hard application to study. A generation or two ago this demand showed itself in the feeling, often on the part of the best students, as President Canfield recently said, "That one must die, if one could not occassionally assist in putting a calf into the belfry. " But thanks to the modern gym- nasium and to the better organization of athletic sports, this inevitable... redundancy of animal spirits and youthful energy and activity has now found a better way. Two or three gen- IO erations ago these pent up energies burst forth in brawls and carousings without number. To any one who has any fami- liarity with the collegiate conditions of the past and the pres- ent, it is a commonplace item of knowledge that such explo- sions of pent up energies have very greatly diminished within recent times. That they have entirely disappeared cannot, of course, be claimed; but the great fact should not escape our acknowledgment, that the vast body of our students work industriously and energetically at their studies, and that, in the course of their career at the university, they improve in character as well as in ability and knowledge.
