What reading level is College Sons And College Fathers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As I 156 talk to the loyal, energetic undergraduate out- side of the class-room, where he is not afraid to be himself, and as I meet his parents in the course of every-day life, I am convinced that here again the difficulty is quite as much a defect of vision as the pressure of unescapable circumstance. If the undergraduate could see the situation as it is, what would happen? If he could see what the time spirit sees, that he has consented to be part of the dead-weight of crude Americanism, to ...be raised with in- finite pains to an intellectual level only a little higher, where he may view the world only a little more broadly, with but a trifle more of truth! Would he be content with his part? I doubt it. For if there is one thing experience in an American university teaches it is this, that the undergraduate (who, after all, is a picked man, not the average of his race) is not so mediocre as he seems is not nearly so me- diocre as the education he seems to desire. And the parents! if they could glimpse what even the college sees: that when they send us their children with injunctions to think well, but not too well, they are bowing down to the leaden calf of mediocrity.
