Fifteen per cent of undergraduates are concentrating in the field of government, which gives that field the lead over Economics in the popularity poll for the second straight year, the Committee on Electives disclosed Saturday. Government has 604 concentrators as against 499 specializing in Economics, according to the Committee's report.
Social Relations, History, and English, in that order, complete the list of the first five most popular fields. Of these only Economics and English have fallen in popularity since 1947, when they ranked first and third respectively.
Social Relations, which now has only one-third of a percent less concentrators than Economics, has made the largest percentage gain in concentrators since 1947, showing an increase of over three per cent.
The Social Relations concentrators have the distinction of being the least interested in obtaining a degree with honors.
