<p>I have one kid who had to fulfill distribution requirements at Swat, doing a double major also, and though she is a humanties person (Music and German) never took one English lit class. I find that a little stunning, though it might be my own prejudice in choosing English as my major. She said “But Mom, I have gotten to read a lot of German literature!!” Son will go to Brown next year, not at all sure what he will major in, but a humanities person as well. I am going to be fascinated to see what he will choose, but DD has already totally dissed the idea of him taking “Great Detective Fiction” or some such, which I think he threw out there just to get her riled up.</p>
