Could you pass finals in 1885?
While looking through the University Papers this week, I found these exams administered at the end of the fall semester in 1885. There is one for Chemistry, Astronomy, Physics and English. Some of the questions would be familiar to a student today, but others, not so much. Can you tell us “what are the defects of our Alphabet?”
Exams administered December 1885 (from the University Papers, #40005, University Archives).
Wow. I thought exams were hard 50+ years ago. Pieces of cake compared to these.
