What reading level is The Life of Alice Freeman Palmer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In every beginning there is chaos. He was himself but slenderly acquainted with educational matters, and there were few highly trained women to form his faculty. Women he pre- ferred as professors, because hitherto they had not been allowed to teach in colleges; and girls were little likely to become students if told that there was something in their sex which debarred them from high scientific standing.
It was to a college thus nobly conceived that Alice Freeman came, a college for which all h...er previous training had prepared her and which was planned to embody most of her own ideals. Yet perhaps it is not unfair to say that, while Mr. Durant was its founder, she in her brief term was its builder. The ideas were his; but they were hers too, and they waited for her to disclose the modes of so applying them as to give them power over the future. Had the aim of the college been simply scholastic, she might have been stifled. Had it been careless of scholar- ship, she would not have remained.
