Economics 1, with its 625-student enrollment, retained again its long-standing distinction as the largest course in the University, not including General Education Ahf.
Math 1a, in second place, is far behind, with 529 members. Humanities 2, with 461 students, climbed from seventh place last year to take over third.
Following the top three come Government 1b, Fine Arts 13, and Humanities 5, which tied as the fourth largest course with 372 students apiece. Humanities 5 is a newcomer this year to the list of top ten courses, while Fine Arts 13 jumped from ninth place. Chemistry 1, which was tenth in 1955, moved up to the seventh position.
Ever-popular Music 1 suffered a drop in enrollment from 408 last year to 355 and has fallen from fifth to eighth place. Social Sciences 4 and Natural Sciences 3 follow to complete the roster.
Social Sciences 1, which last year held fourth place, is absent from this year's list of the top ten. This sudden fall may be explained partially by the course's loss of the popular Charles H. Taylor, professor of History, as fall term lecturer.
Radcliffe girls followed their yearly pattern of flocking to such courses as Fine Arts 13 and Music 1 with enrollments of 106 and 93 respectively.
