The table below gives some interesting statistics showing the results of the elective system at Yale. The choice of studies there is allowed only to seniors and juniors, the first having the privilege of electing fifteen hours per week, and the latter but twelve hours. History is shown to be by far the most popular study and Economics is next in favor. It is interesting to note that while there are twenty courses in Modern Languages and fifteen in Ancient Languages, only five are given in English.
The great difference which exists between the elective systems at Harvard and Yale makes it almost impossible to find any common basis for comparison with our own statistics. The Yale figures are therefore given alone.
