Economics I is the University's most highly subscribed, non-compulsory undergraduate course for the sixth consecutive year. It has an enrollment of 816 students.
In second place -- nearly 300 students behind -- is Government 146, "Urban Policy Problems," taught by Edward O. Banfield, Henry Lee Shattuck Professor of Urban Government. Banfield, who was on a sabbatical last year, is probably giving the course for the last time.
Humanities 2 is the third biggest course in the College. Its enrollment -- 518 students -- is no less than last year's, even though, under new General Education rules, the lower level Humanities requirement may now be filled by upper level courses.
Four hundred ninety students are taking fourth-ranked English 124a, "Shakespeare: Comedies and Histories"--being taught for the first time by Daniel Seltzer, associate professor of English. This year Harvard's Shakespeare course had been divided into two half courses -- English 124 a and b. Last year 327 students enrolled in the full course English 123.
Social Sciences 11, "History of East Asian Civilization," also shows an increase of over 100 students this year. It has the seventh largest enrollment -- 363 undergraduates.
