To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Although the designers of the college system intended for 1 86 The 1 9 SOS the interaction between students and associates to stimulate intel- lectual activity, some associates seemed to he as tongue-tied in talking to students as the stu- dents were in conversing with professors. At any rate, associates usually had only a social relation- ship with their colleges, a passive role rather than the active one envisioned.
Perhaps intellectual life in the colleges suffered because some students acti
...vely resisted it. Oth- ers were too tired from every- thing else they had to do to sit down at a table and discuss mo- mentous issues, ideas, and ideol- ogy. Considering all the academic study required, many undoubt- edly wanted a respite from brain work. Some did not wish to ex- pose their ignorance in the pres- ence of the associates, even in informal conversations. Besides (the argument ran), did stimulat- ing intellectual discussions help you get a job?
Like students the world over, those at Rice liked to complain about their work load.
