Abstract

The College was very fo tunate in having in its midst a distinguished visitor in the person of Prof. J. A Todd of the chair of Economics in the University College, Nottingham, Prof. Tedd on who had specially come to India for the purpose of cotton. delivering a series of lectures in economics in the University of Punjab. We learn that his hobby has all along been to visit different parts of the world where cotton is grown and India has naturally come under his purview. He spent five years in Egypt studying cotton, especially the manufacturing side of it and has travelled extensively in America winning for himself the reputation of being one of the experts on cotton in the world. His book on "The world's cotton" is well known. Prof. Todd gave two public lectures in a fascinating and lucid style, and we hope to publish abstracts of them in our next issue.
