Prof. Canfield received last week the largest thesis ever prepared in the University. During their senior year, Miss Agnes Wright and Miss Olive Thompson undertook, as their topic in Special Economics, to translate Luvasseur's sketch of John Law's Mississippi scheme. The volume consisted of more than three hundred closely printed pages, and the translation—just completed—fills eight hundred pages of manuscript. It is a monument of patience and industry, and is certainly worthy of any department in any University in the country. Prof. Canfield is highly pleased with the result, characterizing the work as an accurate and excellent translation. It is not known that there is another translation of this work into English. The manuscript will be bound and placed in the University library.

At the initial banquet nearly thirty were present, representing the following colleges: Amherst, Michigan, Cornell, Westminster, Washington and Jefferson, Kenyon, Richmond, Cumberland, Dennison, Iowa State, DePauw; Wabash, Dickinson, Columbia, and Kansas State University.
