看看哈佛大学1869年入学考试都考什么。。

Richard.G

A New York Times education blogger recently uploaded to the web an 1869 Harvard entrance exam (PDF) in a post reminiscing on the days when college was "a buyer's bazaar." Long before attending college was a cutthroat affair, so eager was Harvard to get qualified applicants that it would boast in its ads of the ease of the application exam. Click through to see if you think it's easy.

Besides Latin, Greek, Greek history, and ancient geography, applicants were expected to know more standard educational fare like arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Not only is this slideshow a great way to find out how little you actually know about Greek language, it's an amazing glimpse into what elite education used to mean in America, and sometimes still does: A very narrow, ethnocentric experience almost tailor-made for wealthy white men.

拉丁文、希腊文的考卷看不懂。
哈佛是A very narrow, ethnocentric experience almost tailor-made for wealthy white men，大概是吧，可能很准确。

那个时候肯定白人至上，距离后来美国正式取消种族隔离政策有近100年呢。估计那时的黑人哪有什么人能读的起这些考试的内容啊，所以估计有此评论。
