I've seen some from the early-mid 1800s and others from the mid-late 1800s, and to me they have a slightly different in focus. Most come back to Greek ideals (duh, it's a GLO) and appreciation for learning (also duh, they're in college) in some way- but the approach changes. Admitedly a low sample size and male vs. female, but it's absolutely fascinating.

I did have a class on mythology in high school, called "Humanities" (nice broad term don't you think?). Only 30 of 2500 students took it a year, so I'm pretty sure I was in the minority with that one. We also had a Latin program but it was being phased out to some extent. My college had a strong but small classics program, several of my sisters were involved there and "helped" us on pronunciation and the like

I was actually talking to somebody about this the other day. I think the biggest difference is the purpose of education now adays. For the most part if you were in college in the early 1800s, you were preparing for either the ministry or the bar.
