What reading level is Concerning Cornell book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This position he had in no way sought, it had come to him altogether unsolicited, a fact in itself quite noteworthy in the annals of American politics.
162 CONCERNING CORNELL Of such wealth, in training and experience, then, was the young man, just thirty-two years of age, that Ezra Cornell met as a colleague in the State Senate at Albany in 1864. When first Ezra Cornell's name was called, President White says, he was immediately interested in the man and observes that he seemed "about sixty ye...ars of age, tall, spare and austere, with a kindly eye, saying little, and that little dryly. He did not appear unamiable, but there seemed in him a sort of aloofness. " What Ezra's first impressions of the young Andrew were is not recorded but no doubt they would furnish an equally pithy characteriza- tion.
That these two men; so utterly opposite in age and experience, of whom the one had attained great distinction by scholarly achievement and right thinking so early in life, and the other gained wealth and influence only after years of toil and vicissitude; should later have been so steadfastly associated in the grand adventure of founding Cornell is a matter of fascination; that they were brought into intimate relations almost immediate- ly after their meeting in the senate seems more than a coincidence.
