ELECTIVE CHOICES.
Comparison of Figures Show Some
Significant Changes.
The choices of Senior and Junior
electives for the college year 1900-
1901, which were announced Saturday,
May 5, show in some instances very
great changes from the figures of recent
years, the tendency seeming to be
towards those things which the men
regard as bearing more directly on the
practical matters of life.
In Psychology, Ethics and Philosophy
last year, 358 Seniors and 40 Juniors
elected courses; this year only 116
Seniors and 38 Juniors. This great
drop is chiefly in the course on “Princi-
ples of Evolution” and “Philosophical
Anthropology,’ which fell from 193 to
8, and from 80 to 31 respectively. On
the other hand, there has been a con-
siderable improvement over the figures
of last year in “Outlines of General
Philosophy,’ and “Psychology,” physi-
ological and experimental.
In Political Science and Law there is
a general advance in the figures of the
elective choices. The very popular
course in “Economics,’ which at-
tracted 247 Juniors last year, has been
chosen by 267 this year. Only one
Senior takes this course, however, com-
pared with 13 last year.
A slight falling off is noticed in the
two courses in the “Science of Society.”
In the course on “Jurisprudence and
Law” there is a drop from 174 Seniors
to 45, but this is largely explained by
the establishment of the five-hour pro-
fessional preparation course, which at-
tracted 66 Seniors. The decline in
“United States Industrial History,”
from 123 Seniors last year to 49, is
probably due to President Hadley’s
leaving the course. Fifty is about the
average class in this subject.
History declines very slightly, the
most noticeable being “American Na-
tional History,” which fell from 141
Juniors to 104, and “European History”
and “English Constitutional History,”
which dropped from 215 Seniors to 189
and from 68 Seniors to 51, respectively,
The principal increase was in “Mediz-
val History,” from 2 to 9 Seniors and
from 136 Juniors to 200. The new
course, “European Colonies in Asia and
Africa,” is chosen by 50 Seniors and
4 Juniors, and “Recent American His-
tory,’ by 50 Seniors.
MODERN EUROPEAN LANGUAGES.
The study of Modern European Lan-
guages, English excepted, has been af-
fected less in the electives this year than
any other branch of study, the figures be-
ing unusually uniform not only for last
year, but for several years past.
An increase is noticed all along the
line in English electives. Beginning
with “Rhetoric,” in which three courses
are offered this year, 7 Seniors and &o
Juniors have decided upon the courses
as compared with 3 and 33 last year.
Other advances are in “English Poets
of the Nineteenth Century,” from 138
Juniors to 165, and “Tennyson and
Browning,’ from 23 Seniors and 36
Juniors to 49 Seniors and 60 Juniors.
~The new course, “English Romanticism
in the Nineteenth Century,” attracts 26
Seniors; “American Literature,’ 72
Seniors and 89 Juniors, and “English
Prose” 23 Juniors. Eight Seniors and
32 Juniors take the new course, “Gen-
eral View of French Literature,” which
is conducted, not in French, but in the
English language. One Senior has
availed himself of the course in “Nor-
wegian and Danish,’ and 1 in “Rus-
sian.”
In the “Ancient Languages and Lin-
guistics” and in “Biblical Literature,”
there is practically no change. “Israeli-
tish Institutions,” a new course in
“Biblical Literature,’ is elected by 2
Seniors and 1 Junior, and “Studies in
the Gospels,” by 6 Seniors and I Junior.
In thé >< Tine Arts,’ “Music, : and
“Physical Education,’ the departure
from the figures of last year is not worth
mentioning.
In “Physical and Natural Science,”
under the head of “Forestry,” 5 Seniors
