1800's Harvard Exam

This old-school Harvard exam from the 1800s would have rocked my socks. Lot's of Latin and computational math problems. At first glance, I thought the word "rod" was a typo (arithmetic, question 6). Then I looked it up. Apparently, 1 square rod = 30.25 square yards. I guess they stopped teaching that measurement in school.
