I think this model works provided we remember a thesis is post-graduate work. i.e. The trainee wizard firstly learns spells from his order's grimoire and copies that for himself. Then he may get the chance of working on his own thesis. If it is actually useful and doesn't get stuffed in a dusty box at the back of some library then it can become what we consider a grimoire. For most wizards social demands on their time prevent them ever completing their thesis.
