I'd've aced it.
RE: I’d’ve aced it.
Well, first, you have to show us the picture :)
I’ve already contributed once today, but when I saw this adorable critter, Upchuck, I thought it was certainly worth another contribution especially when invited to “boop” his cute little nose. Problem is the link doesn’t work. :-(
Until hell froze over?
My grandmother’s family was rich, her husband’s, comfortably middle class. I only inherited $25,000 in 1985, but that was 1/42 of her estate and she had given most of it away before she died.
I know without looking I can’t.
I’m not too bright...anyone posts here regular knows that.

College tuition was unbelievably cheap in 19th century America.
I have forgotten the figure I heard ($40 a year?), but I remember even adjusted for inflation it was astoundingly cheap.
When I went for my undergrad forty years ago, tuition at my school was the highest in the country: $1000 a semester.
Tuition loans that have thrown this out of kilter. The more money you give people to spend on something, the more that something will cost. And look at the fluff colleges spend their money on: million dollar a year sports coaches, for example and other nonsensical status symbol wastes of money.
Depends where he's laying them.
Such tests are always tailored to the prior curriculum.
Since the curriculum has changed greatly since then, it is no surprise many today would fail the test.

In 1869 Harvard was an all male school. Im a young buck still counting my lucky stars for missing the Civil War by just a few years. Why the heck would I throw that luck aside and pass up on going to a co-ed school? Ill take a rain check on the Harvard exam thanks, now what school had the most women to men ratio in 1869? The important stuff.
Hell I know the answer to that one. Never wanted to go to that damaging place as find liberals lying slimes.
Incredible.. 185 of 210 passed it despite not having trillions of dollars flowing into the pockets of worthless union teachers.
The very questions make my head spin. It takes me back to the years I struggled in school before I finally figured out how my own brain worked.
Unless I took pencil to paper and took notes/outlined, forget it. Underlining or highlighting was useless. A textbook was nothing more than words on pages. I knew all of the words, I knew the meaning of the words, but unless I allowed my brain to digest it piece by piece nothing would stick.
I think it is my way of slowing the parts of my brain which are always in a hurry.

You are very welcome. NOW I will make another donation. I’m just a complete sucker for cute, fuzzy critters so please don’t put another one up or I’ll be broke before the day of over. :-)
LOL
Well the chances in 1869 are that you had been exposed to smallpox, polio and TB.
People on the plains were getting butchered by godless savages.
I prefer to live now, as an idiot.
