The recent establishing of a chair of Folklore is announced by Laval University, with Mr. Liic Lacoursiere as the titular professor. Iirench-Canadian folklore is exceedingly rich and varied, but iin to the present it has barely been studied, and whilc a few painstaking people have gathered a. number of documents concern- ing it, very few of these have been published. Publication of these documents, as well as the garnering of all details concerning folklore, both written and oral, is the task that has been set aside for this newest branch of the University, together ivitb the classing and analysing of every- thing pertaining to folklore, in order that sav- arits, writers, artists and the public in general may have all possible information at their fin- geriips. Initial lessons of the new branch will be given during the 1944-45 university year,

aiid will consi iion into the siiidv of folklore. These courses
