Films, Modern Fiction Most Popular Courses

The percentage of non-Harvard students at the Summer School this year has remained as high as last year despite a large cutback in the number of students accepted from other schools.

Of the 5000 students who registered last week, about 3500, or 70 per cent, have never attended Harvard.

The most popular course offered this summer is apparently Fine Arts S-76, the History of the Cinema, which is attended by more than 200 people. Also drawing more than 200 students is Julian L. Moynihan's English S-163, Forms of Modern Fiction. And at 8 a.m. each morning about 160 students have gotten up to hear Howard Mumford Jones, Abbott Lawrence Lowell Professor of the Humanities, Emeritus, lecture on the major American authors.
