To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this department the effect of the new epoch is to develop rather than to change ; it makes the old work greater and more important than before : greater because there will be more workers, more to do and more tools to work with ; more important because much which cannot be done soon may be lost forever, and because the life of a community busied with material develop- ment needs a double leaven from the educated past. But the community has needs for the future as well as for the past. The re...cords of the past must be preserved and studied by that body of educated men who make the society of a university town the most refined and intelligent that is anywhere found, and who give to the precincts of a university a peculiar attraction which exists in no other place. The records of the future must be made by men of different types and different habits, who are educated to fit them for active work, who will exchange the pleas- ures and quiet of the university for the roar of the rolling-mill, the buzz of the machine-shop, the obscurity of the mine, the bustle of the railroad, and the harsh surroundings of many other duties.
