To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My next thesis is that it is just as important, or more so, to the country at large and the War Department in particular, that the military work of our land-grant colleges be strengthened as it is to the colleges themselves. The officials of the War Department look at the provisions of the Morrill Act and the acts of 1890 and 1908 as being intended to remedy the terrible shortage of officers felt in the Civil War and later in the Spanish War. In view of the very small number of graduates of lan...d-grant schools who go into the Army or even into the militia, and in view of the inability of the War Department to keep track of these graduates or to have any kind of hold upon them in event of war, these officials can not see where all the millions that have been poured into these schools have thus far done anything in particular to improve the military prepared- ness of the country. They partly overlook the very wide dissemi- nation over the country of educated men who have had some mili- tary knowledge and experience and who would flock to the colors in time of need; but their dissatisfaction and unwillingness to place their trust on such an intangible military asset is entirely natural.
