There is considerable speculation over the contents of the package sealed in 1836 which Mr. Conant is to open at the Tercentenary Celebration.

Mr. Quincy had been president of the University in 1836. His description follows:

"Blank books were presented for the signature of the Alumni and more than eleven hundred recorded their names. These books were bound under the direction of Robert C.
