The link isn't loading for me, so here's HN's discussion on a Harvard entrance exam from 1869: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3312240

It's probably the same one; the one linked here is stamped "1899" because that's the year it was entered into the Harvard library, but the date "July, 1869" is clearly visible on the bottom of every single page. The original poster wasn't paying attention.

Looks like I'm community college material after all.

Honestly though, we never touched Latin during my high school days, such a shame.
