1869 MIT Entrance Exam

I came across something cool today, via Boing Boing => Pie & Hammer => MIT. It's a four-subject 1869 entrance examination. Apparently there was no real extrance examination to MIT before 1865, but the faculty started putting one together that year based on various subjects that not doubt were considered appropriate for an educated man of that time. Some of the questions are a little strange though, but I suppose interesting to know, such as the ones relating to geography.
