When I chose to major in CS, I got a nice letter from the university suggesting that maybe this wasn't the best choice, that too many people were picking this, that it would be worth considering other majors.
This worked - I can't quite remember the numbers, but probably the entering class was 2/3rds the size it would've been otherwise.
And clearly, it was going to be a terrible idea to graduate in Computer Science in 1992, so who can blame them? The field had clearly hit its peak by 1987... (this was in Switzerland, on a 4.5 year degree program)
