1936 FAVOURS ENGLISH CONCENTRATION FIELD

History jumped to second place from last year, as English maintained its lead in the concentration choices of Freshmen announced yesterday at University Hall. A hundred first-year men picked History, twenty-two more than last year, when it held fourth place. English gained nineteen over 1932, while Economics, third in popularity, gained one from last year's total of 91.

Government, which ranked seventh last year with 39 followers, made an astounding rise to fourth place with 81 Freshmen selecting it this year. Biochemical Sciences, third last year, dropped to fifth this spring, although losing only is in totals. Romance Languages gained one, but slipped from fifth place in 1932 to sixth place this year, with 64 men filing cards for this subject.

The final figures released yesterday reveal 155 more concentrators than last year's total. 975 Freshmen have made out their plans for the next three years, while 20 have failed to do so as yet.

Semitic Languages, which scored no choices in either 1931 or 1932, jumped in to the tabulations this year with one concentrator. Astronomy lost two from last year's total of four. Philosophy attracted seven, and German and Literature nine each.

Seventh place in the results went to Biology with 53, and eighth place to History and Literature with only one less. Biology more than doubling its point-total from 1932.
