I do not believe even university students from the past 10 years could answer half of the questions presented. Studying historic publications and writing is a hobby. Take it up and become discouraged with what is called education now. Latin & Greek not emphasized so students cannot take new words apart for meaning. Foreign language classes no longer required. American history is now "global community" yet nothing taught but feelings.
