Sharpe's Book Refutes Foremost Authority On Elizabethan Drama In a controversial book en titled "The Real War of the Theatres,'-' recently published under the auspices of the Mod ern Language Association of America, Dr. R. B. Sharpe of the English department chal lenges beliefs held by the fore most living authority on the Elizabethan stage, Sir Edmund Chambers. In taking issue with Cham bers' declaration that the plays of Queen Elizabeth's dayJiad no relation to the political his tory of the period, Dr. Sharpe is expected to arouse consider able comment and criticism among English scholars. When Shakespeare walked the streets of London and wrote plays'for production in its thea tres, he belonged to the dramatic company called the Chamber lain's Men, supporters of and caterers to the aristocracy, and bitter rivals of the more bour geois Admiral's men. Tracing the history of these two companies during the dec ALUMNI CONTEST GETSTOERWAY Portrait of Graham and 100 Volume Book Set Will Be Awarded as Prizes. With the sending out of 16,- 000 letters yesterday to .Univer sity alumni in every part of the world, Felix A. Grisette official ly opened the "Alumni Loyalty" contest which will be fought out heatedly among loyal alum ni between now and com mencement. The previously announced contest is being sponsored by the alumni loyalty fund council of which Grisette is the head. An oil painting of President Graham will be presented to the class winning the championship at commencement. County Award At the same time, counties and cities will be waging a vig orous battle. for the 100-volume set of University Press books which are to be awarded the public or school library in the town or city which wins the "lo cality" championship. Various influential men in the state are acting as chairmen of their classes and all contri butions from alumni will go through the class chairmen and be credited both to the .class and to the town or county in which the alumnus resides. Needs Listed Yesterday's correspondence included 16,000 letters from the class chairmen to their class mates, an actual letter on the matter from one of the class members and an attractive, boxed outlay presenting "A Dozen University Needs Listed as Part of the Loyalty Contest." The contest will be conducted on as nearly a personal basis as is possible. The portrait of President Graham, although remaining the permanent property of the class which wins it, will be hung in Graham Memorial in order that all Carolina visitors may see it and read about its owners. Grail Meeting There will be an important meeting of the Grail tonight at 10 o'clock in the Grail room of Graham Memorial, announced George Moore yesterday. ade from 1594 to 1603, Dr. Sharpe finds proof that the great Shakespeare, as well as the other playwrights he over shadows, wrote with an eye on all the developments at court and in the city streets and squares, and made himself the ally of some of Queen Bess's mightiest courtiers in their struggles for power. Helped Patrons "The Real War of the Thea tres" attempts to prove that there was a significant relation between the high favor the Chamberlain's Men enjoyed dur ing the last years of Elizabeth's reign and coincident political ascendency of certain of their patrons. The publication of Dr. Sharpe's book as one of the Monograph Series sponsored by the Modern Language Associa tion is a considerable honor in itself. His manuscript was one of five accepted by the society, which has a membership of 4, 000, over a period of 10 years. Co-ed Run-off s In the co-ed run-off elections yesterday afternoon, Kather ine Quigley, Oak Park, HI., junior, won a close race for the presidency of the Wom an's Athletic Association over Frances Caffey, 68-63.

"Social Emphasis Week" Members of the committee also felt there ought to be more emphasis on social, political, and economic questions during the intervening years between each Institute. It was suggested that there be a special social empha sis week each year the Institute was not held. Dean D. D. Carroll suggested that the next Institute be a Greater University of North Carolina affair with the speak ers rotating between the three units of the state institution. The committee expressed the feeling that the further bring--ing of speakers to the University this quarter under Institute aus pices would be an anti-climax to the Human Relations confer ence, and passed a motion not to sponsor the appearance of any other platform lecturers this spring. More Varied Speakers A resolution that at the next Institute there be presented a wider range and variety of speakers and subjects was also adopted by the group.
