What reading level is A Commenment Address Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Vassar Collge June book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are bent on an isthmus canal at Nicaragua, and can hardly keep our hands off our ancient ally for attempting one at Panama ; laugh loud and long at the De Lesseps collapse as proof of all we have said about the utter impracticability of the Panama route, then suddenly turn around, buy up the bankrupt, abandon the Nica- ragua concern and set out to finish that same impracticable and preposterous Panama scheme ourselves.
Thus wave after wave of half-considered opinion sweeps over the country ;... we flash into flames of sudden excitement which, fortunately, for the most part, die out like heat-lightning ; feel equally fit to flout all the world's experience, solve at sight all its problems, or fight all creation at the drop of a hat; and are always in danger of going off at half-cock into a new party or out of it, into some untried policy or out of it, into some mon- strous injustice or out of it, into war or out of it.
A graver change, amounting to a distinct degeneration in the One Man average American character, may be a further consequence, and ""' "* is at any rate a further accompaniment, of the tendency to loss of Another faith and loss of purpose.
