This is really interesting especially given that Harvard now offers "Counting People" and "Magic of Numbers" as classes that satisfy the math (quantitative reasoning) requirement. That's not to say the requirements are better or worse than 100 years ago, it's just interesting how much broader the course offerings are now. You could avoid math, and I know people who did, if you didn't want to take it. And of course, almost no one knows Latin or Greek.
