The New York Times recently covered an interesting piece of the history of old distinguished universities. It was a pretty interesting article that you can find here: Remembering When College Was a Buyer’s Bazaar
The real reason I was interested is that they dug up an old entrance exam from Harvard in 1869.
The curriculum is wildly different of course with requirements in knowing Latin and Greek, but could you pass the same stuff that we need to know today?
Anyway, check out the PDF here.
