At Harvard each language and literature department seems to have
negotiated its maximum class sizes.  In Russian we have a maximum of 12,
the same as the old MLA recommendation, which I believe has moved up to 15
(these recommendations are for all languages).
        Other depts at Harvard have other maximums.  Romance has 17, if I
am not mistaken, but tries to keep it at 15.  Asian has a different
system, with large "lectures" and then sections of 10.  Other languages
have something around 15-18 (again I can't be absolutely sure).
