A N Interesting roport noted by A tho Harvard "Alumni Dullotln," indlcntos tho change that is tak ing plaro In tho collogo training which tho students nro oloctlng In recont yenrs. Por the Inst two yoars of tholr course forty-five per cont of tho Harvard sophomoios specialize In economic a, history nnd government; thirty per cont In languages, litera ture, art and music; twonty-threo per cent In natural sclenro; only two per cent in philosophy and mithomntlcs. Modern languages nro preferred In n great majority of cases to what we still call tho classics. Theso facts Indicate not only, ns hns been nuggestoit, that colleges aro becoming inoru democratic, but that students come from tho homos of business mon where formerly thoy represented families of clorgymen nnd othur professional and scholar ly men very largely. It suggosis also that tho college student Is com ing to relnto his education inoro nnd more Intimately to life. Economics, history and government; modern. 1imilllllittl lltiinif llrn nrt Mini vminlii' ropresonl a fuller and more human appreciation of life as woll as a more practical and less traditional culture.
