LAW THE MOST POPULAR PROFESSION FOR 1933

From the 323 men who returned the cards sent out by Phillips Brooks House asking, among others, a question about what life work each man expected to take up, only 72 are undecided. Sixty-one plan to go into, the profession of law after they graduate, while second place in the figures is held by medicine, which attracts, at the present time, 45 from this group of the Freshman Class.

These two occupations seem to be by far the most popular. Third place is held, however, by teaching, a profession which is supposed to be on the decline. It is followed closely by engineering, with 30 candidates; but this figure is deceptive, as some of these men plan to undertake-civil engineering, others, mining engineering, and others, what not. The fifth of the most popular occupations is business, which will draw 27 from this group.

There are several amusing possibilities suggested by individuals. One man was undecided as to whether he would take up music, or rather go into law.

Among the minor professions the following were suggested, with the number of men choosing them: banking, 9; writing 6; chemistry 5; architecture, 4; commerce, 4; aviation, 4; physics, 3; journalism, 3; merchandising, 2; manufacturing, 2; ministry, 2; science, 2; mathematics, 1; publishing, 1; electricity, 1; philosophy, 1; music, 1; photography, 1; geology, 1; pottery, 1; advertising, 1; dentistry, 1.
