"Wish Book"

Mr. Cauthen noted, however,
that this declaration of intentions
by second-year men must
be regarded as little more than
a "wish book," and that it has
"never been a reliable indication
before." He added that a similar
questionnaire is being distributed
to degree applicants for the first
time this year to obtain a more
accurate survey of what University
students are doing after graduation.

Once again, as in the last six
years, the English department has
collected the largest number of
declared majors. The total number
of declarations, however, fell
this year in English, as it did in
Economics. The two departments
showing the largest increase in
enrollment of majors are Government
& Foreign Affairs and
History. The Department of Sociology
and Anthropology also
showed a significant increase in
major declarations.
