What reading level is The Place of the University in National Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The Universities provided the officers for the Kitchener Armies, and furnished an indispensable body of scientific inquirers for the exploration of the numerous problems which arose out of the practice of the new art of war. To the medical services of the Army and Navy they contributed a large contingent, and no small part of the public work of the country and of the direction of public opinion through the Press was discharged by men who had received a liberal training in one of our Universitie...s. I had recently occasion to examine the use which had been made of these centres of scientific inquiry by the three fighting departments of the Government. At the beginning of the War it would be no exaggeration to say that there was a most inadequate apprehension of the results which might be derived from the laboratories and brains of our Universities, but by degrees the Universities imposed themselves upon the State as indispensable instruments of public efficiency, and the largest drafts were made upon their resources of energy and good will- In the end, no less than thirty University laboratories were working at full pressure for one department of warfare alone.
