What reading level is The American College in American Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am also inclined to believe, although my belief is by no means an assurance, that in the larger part of this period under survey Har- vard was known throughout the West more for its literary advantages, and Yale for its scientific. Of course, at once the names of Agassiz, and Gray, and others, may seem to overthrow the ground of this impression, but never in the popular view was Agassiz an in- tegral part of the Harvard Faculty. When we think of the great teachers at Harvard of the earlier ge...neration, the first names to occur to us are those of Ticknor and Longfellow. When we think of the great teachers of Yale in the preceding generation, we speak imme- diately of Silliman and Dana. The fame of 1 62 The American College.
Yale in science was more attractive to the Western man than the fame of Harvard in literature. The materialistic tendency of life in the West found its counterpart in the scien- tific character of the teaching at Yale.
But a further question grows out of the gen- eral one, and one, too, possibly more interest- ing.
