To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For four years Professor Shepard and the Librarian of the University have worked together on the Library building, first on its plans, later on details of construction, lastly on the furnishing and equip- ment. Professor Shepard's well-known skill in experimentation, his experi- ence in constructing the Natural Science Building, his acquaintance with the architect's force, pointed him out as the logical man to do this work. But what devotion he has shown to it, what sacrifice of his own leisure... and com- fort, what even greater sacrifice of his time for work in his laboratory, none can know save perhaps Mrs. Shepard and the present speaker. The debt which the University Library owes to Dr. Shepard it is impossible to exag- gerate. He has met emergencies with skill, difficulties with determination, drudgery with patience, and has even reached the Scriptural height of suf- fering fools gladly. I have but one regret in recalling the four years of 20 UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN constant association ; I am uncomfortably conscious of what precious hours he has freely taken from the pursuit of his own researches to make research in the library possible for others.
