ENROLLMENT STATISTICS REVEAL MORE INTEREST IN CLASSICS

Evidence of a revival of interest in the classics at Dartmouth is indicated by the fact that 33 men, the largest number in several years, have begun the study of Greek. Of this number 21 are members of the freshman class.

There are 85 men enrolled in the advanced Greek courses while the Latin department reports between 260 and 275 are taking Latin courses. Other so-called classical courses have attracted a much larger number than ever before, the music department having 149 men enrolled, while 44 students are registered in the archaeology class.

Amazing increases have been reported in various other departments of the College, notably French, Sociology, Psychology and Economics. The fourth year course in French has been overwhelmed with over 400 students registered for advanced study. The elementary course in Sociology has been sought by 340 men and the first year class in Psychology has reported an enrollment of 265. The increase in the number studying Sociology is partly explained, according to college authorities, by the requirement which makes one year of study in three of the four courses, Sociology, Economics, History, and Political Science, necessary for graduation.

In the Department of Economics 550 men are enrolled in the elementary course, 275 in-the following course, 150 in the class studying labor, 75 in the class in finance, and 75 in the class of business organization.
