ECONOMICS, ENGLISH FAVORED BY 1931

English Has Five More Candidates for Honors Than Economics--History and Fine Arts Take Next Places

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Figures at University Hall on the fields of concentration of the Class of 1931 show that Economics and English attract over 30 percent of the class each claiming 121 men.

English, which has usually stood at the head of the list, still counts the largest number of candidates for honors of any field, although this number is only five more than the 36 of Economics. These figures, however, apply only to the Sophomore class, and in all probability represent only a temporary fluctuation.

History Ranks Third

History, with 87 concentrators, and Fine Arts, with 51, take third and fourth places, their honor candidates numbering 23 and 10 respectively.

The bio-chemical sciences take fifth place in the list of subjects, with 47 men, followed by the field of History and Literature with 41. The honor candidates in these fields number 15 and 18 respectively.

The remaining subjects, with their number of concentrators and honor candidates are as follows: Government 37, 14; Chemistry, 35, 11; Mathematics, 30, 18; Physics, 21, 8; Classics, 19; 12; Geology, 18, 1; German, 17, 4; Biology, 16, 2; Philosophy and Psychology 13, 6; Engineering Sciences, 12, 4; Romance Languages, 10, 1; Psychology, 10, 1; Music, 8, 4; Sociology and Social Ethics, 8, 4; Anthropology, 7, 3; Literature, 7, 6; Semitic, 1, 1
