What reading level is The Ministry of Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old artistic impulse that had remained with man from the beginning was slowly dying, for the 176 UNIVERSITY ARCHITECTURE first time in recorded history ; it had been losing vitality ever since the Renaissance and Refor- . Mation, but it was still instinctive, and so re- mained until that Revolution, which included so much more than the French Terror, came to give it its quietus. This day or night was still far off, and in the seventeenth and eigh- teenth centuries there was still exquisite ...delicacy and refinement and wealth of invention. I wish I could show you some proofs of this in the shape of domestic and ecclesiastical work from Massachusetts Bay Colony, and Virginia and Maryland and the Carolinas, for it is true that little of this appears in our collegiate work. Here funds were scant and dearly obtained, while the planters of the South and the great merchants of the North were more lavish in their outlay ; as it is, our early college buildings make their appeal through their fine propor- tions and their frank simplicity.
