Facts on Course Enrollment Show Not Much Change

Undergraduate study habits seem fairly stable, according to temporary spring term course enrollment figures released by Registrar Sargent Kennedy '28 yesterday. Except for four major shifts, all 15 most popular courses are in roughly the same position as last year.

Since it is required for all freshmen, General Education Ahf heads the list with 1205 men. Following are social Sciences 2 (552), Humanities 2 (447), Economics 1 (415), Math 1 (390) Gov. 1b (366), and the rest of the required "elementary" courses.

Government 1b, while more popular than Government 1a, still dropped to sixth place with 366 men against last spring's 444 man second. Humanities 4 went from third (429) to thirteenth with 273 men, while Humanities 2 moved from sixth place to third.

Two courses showed marked changes from last term--English 170a enrolled 161 men, while 170b drew 331 and had to be moved from Fogg to Sanders. Only 94 took History 142, "History of England Since 1688" in the fall, while 204 are now enrolled. In the spring of '52, the course attracted 198 men. Government 155, "Government Regulation of Industry," also increased its enrollment by 40.

Harvard enrollments show preferences for history and sciences, while Radcliffe figures indicate a marked bent towards English and Literature. English 160, "Drama Since Ibsen," placed second with 176 girls behind General Education Ahf, followed by Mathematics 1a; English 170b, "American Literature from 1917 to the Present" with 118; and Fine Arts 13, "Introduction to the History of Art,"with 115.
