Carleton vs. Chicago vs. Swat

<blockquote>
<p>Chicago’s Classics department has been in decline in recent years (as has Harvard’s), and it has never been a particularly well-rounded department.</p>

<br>

<p>Has any formerly strong Classics department NOT been in decline in recent years? Berkeley’s?</p>

<p>How robust and well-rounded can a department remain when it attracts, say, 1% of all majors? That’s a guess, because the Common Data Sets don’t even break out Classics majors. There’s a category for “Foreign Languages and Literature”, which might attract 3% or 5% of majors at selective schools.</p>
