Discover a rare piece of educational history with this original, unused “General Biology Classroom Exam” dated March 1961. Provenance suggests it is from Northeastern University's General Biology course for freshmen in 1961, however this is word of mouth only. This typewritten test provides a unique glimpse into the biology curriculum of the early 1960s, making it a valuable collectible for educators, historians, and enthusiasts of vintage educational materials.
"March 9 1961 – Sputnik 9 successfully launches, carrying a dog and a human dummy, and demonstrating that the Soviet Union was ready to begin human spaceflight." (wikipedia)
"In 1961, John F. Kennedy was inaugurated as the 35th president of the United States, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to fly in space, Freedom Riders took buses into the South to bravely challenge segregation, and East Germany began construction of the Berlin Wall. That year, Kennedy gave the okay to the disastrous Bay of Pigs Invasion into Cuba and committed the U.S. to "landing a man on the Moon" with NASA's Apollo program. JFK also oversaw the early buildup of a U.S. military presence in Vietnam: by the end of 1961, some 2,000 troops were deployed there." The Atlantic
