Harvard Entrance Exam from 1899 Will Make You Feel Dumb

Harvard Entrance Exam from 1899 Will Make You Feel Dumb: "Unless you had a very solid classics education in high school, know the sources of the Danube, the Volga, the Ganges, and the Amazon off the top of your head, and are comfortable tackling some hoary arithmetic and plane geometry without the help of a calculator or Wikipedia, you’re likely to find this Harvard entrance exam from 1899 more than a little challenging.
