What reading level is Universities And the People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The people know that this is not altogether true, and that if it were true it would be none the less obvious that instruction, a research, or an investigation might be more useful, and more immediately so, if consistently planned to that end. Some persons, indeed, may fail to recog- nize the value of indispensable university studies and investi- gations, and demand the elimination of all that is not con- spicuously useful, but this danger is not to be obviated by maintaining that considerations... of social utility have no place in a university. It can be met only by the frank recognition of the fact that a university is a social institution, and by the organization and direction of university activities in conformity to that idea. Universities that manifest indifference to social 65 needs should not be surprised if their work in general, and the consequent need of supporting them, should fall under suspicion. The growth of the social consciousness, then, and the widening acceptance of the democratic ideal have occasioned a new conception of the possibilities and duties of a university, or at least a shifting of emphasis with respect to them.
