What reading level is Sketches of the Early History of Amherst College book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It can never be known in this world how many promising young men have by these means been saved from falling into dissipated habits which would have blighted their scholarship, blasted their prospects of usefulness and happiness in life, brought down gray hair with sorrow to the grave and doomed them to a drunkard' s eternity. I do not say that none have fallen or indulged in habits of inebriation which they brought with them, secretly to their final undoing ; but I am confident the number must... have been very small. In running over the catalogue of more than twenty years while I was connected with the college I have not been able to ascertain that more than three or four out of some eight hundred of our graduates have turned out miserably dissipated and pestilential hangers on to the skirts of society. This has been a perpetual source of thanksgiving to me and will be while I live and the more so as I contrast it with the state of things when I was in college. If there were any precautionary restrictions to prevent the undergraduates from drinking ardent spirits and wine they were little regarded.
