LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
Government and Economics are still the most populous fields of concentration in the College, semi-annual figures of Register Kennedy '28 showed yesterday.
Of the total undergraduate body, 644 men, or 15-7 percent, are now majoring in Government. Economics is drawing the second largest number of concentrators with 630 students, a 15.4 percent total.
Also among the top five fields of Concentration this year are Social Relations, with 507 undergraduates; English, 394; and History, 295.
"Formulae" Courses Unpopular
So-called "formulae" courses among the sciences rate fairly low this year. Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics bow to Biology, which holds sixth place in the College with 192 concentrators.
The modern Harvard man is showing a general lack of interest in the Classics, with both Latin and Greek attracting less than ten concentrators apiece. Least popular fields range from Semitic to such combinations as History-Science, Science, and Government-Philosophy.
In the larger fields of concentrators, most honors candidates come form the History and Literature department, an all-honors field, and fewest from Biology, English, and Social Relations.
