To Be Presented
Friday nights, August 19 and 20
The production is being given in
the outdoor theater in an effort
to beat the heat. All members
of the Chapel Hill community are
invited to try out for "As You
Like It," and since rehearsals will
be held out of doors, weather per
mitting, they promise to be en
joyable. Director Sam Hirsch has pre
pared a new streamlined version
of this favorite Shakespearean
comedy; placing the main em
phasis on the fun and music of
the show. "As You Like It" will
be presented in two acts as a
musical comedy. There are speak
ing parts for 17 men and 4 wom
en. Some of the more familiar
characters in the play are Rosa
lind and Orlando, the romantic
leads; Jacques, the melancholy
philosopher who presents the
famous soliloquy about "All the
world's a stage and all the men
and women merely players . . .";
Touchstone, the clown; and Au
drey, Touchstone's country love.
In case of rain Monday after
noon the tryouts will be held in
Memorial hall at the scheduled
time.
French House Ends
Annual Activities
Everyone knows . at least one
phrase in French, even though it
may be only "Parlez-vous Fran
caise?" But in the Maison Fran
caise, one speaks Francaise, or
not at all!
In 1945 Prof. Hugo Giduz be
gan the first Maison Francaise on
the Carolina campus because he
felt there was a need for oral
work in a natural environment.
Each summer, during the first
six-week session, the house opens
its doors to help teachers and
prospective teachers of French
gain proficiency in all phases of
French in an atmosphere which
is as French as can be simulated.

To start off the second sum
mer session the Dramatic Art de
partment has announced "The
Sisters' Tragedy" as the first of
two plays to be presented in the
Student Laboratory. The plays
will be presented tonight at 8:30
in the Playmakers theater. There
is no admission charge; the pub
lic is invited.
"The Sisters' Tragedy" was
written by Richard Hughes, au
thor of "The Innocent Voyage."
George Bernard Shaw comment
ed on this play by saying, "It is
the finest one-act play ever writ
ten." The play deals with a hide-
bound, fanatically religious Welsh
family ' and concerns the fate of
the youngest sister, who mur
ders her blind, deaf mute brother
because she believes it will be
better off for all of them if he
is dead.
The cast includes Edna Dooley,

Dr. Hamilton's.Plan
This appalling situation might
have continued indefinitely but
for the courage, wisdom, and in
defatigable energy of one man,
Dr. J. G. deRoulhac Hamilton,
who 25 years ago conceived the
plan for a Southern Historical
Collection, where material from
14 Southern states North and
South Carolina, Virginia, Tennes
see, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Maryland, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky and
Missouri might be gathered in
lina the library of the depart
ment of rural social science, and
the Kenan Collection on the Civil
War.

him of administrative duties so
that he could devote more time
to the project.

The answer, in brief, is that closing of the University, much

There was already in the Libr
ary' an excellent nucleus for such
a Collection. Under the leader
ship of Governor David L. Swain,
then president of the University,
the North Carolina Historical
Society was formed in 1844 for
the purpose of gathering' all avail
able material relating to North
Carolina. Prior to the Civil War,
a great deal of such material was

opened its doors, additions were
thousands of dollars were needed
at the outset, he had to depend
mainly on the contributions of
a few friends and an A-model
Ford that could climb the steep
est red hill in Dixie.
He began scouring the South
for the invaluable materials that
now comprise the Southern col
lection for every kind of book,
pamphlet, manuscript, photo, let
ter, diary, and public and private
record of any sprt that would
shed light on the past and pres
ent of the South.
The material began to trickle
in at first, and it was not until
after Dr. Hamilton had spent
considerable time in the field as-
made. These additions included suring the prospective contribu-
ty garrets, in storage rooms, out
houses, and public buildings.
Most of it had little or no money
value and its owners, as often as
not, were unaware of its exist
ence. Many valuable documents, Dr.
Hamilton found, had already
been de.r royed by fire or rats or
by housewives bent on the cease
less task of destroying "trash."
It was a tremendous job, but
deRoulhac Hamilton was not to
be discouraged. Taking a page
from the book, so to speak, of his
great grandfather, James Hamil
ton, who served as the nullifica
tion Governor of South Carolina,
Dr. Hamilton heeded a choice bit
of advice which Governor Hamil
ton is credited with handing out:
"He who dallies is a dastard; he
who delays is damned." Thus
forewarned, he plunged his tire-!
less energy and unrelenting per-
serverance into the overwhelm
ing task that confronted him.
Three Million Hems Today
Today the Southern Historical
Collection numbers at least three
million items, representing 2309
the unique body of North Caro- proof, and ratproof permanent different collections that each
contain from one to 150,000 items.
An immense amount of other
material has also been promised,
either in wills or agreements.
Dr. Hamilton has lived to wit
ness his own immortality, for
the Collection is a fitting monu
ment to the man who conceived
the plan and gave to its develop
ment 25 of the best years of his
life.
Dr. Hamilton Retiring
Dr. Hamilton has just retired
as director of the Southern Col
lection for, although still active
and vigorous and looking young
er, he has reached the age of 70,
the limit set by University trus
tees for active service.
But the work of fthe Southern
Historical Collection will go on
for, although an enormous amount
of material has been assembled,
Dr. Hamilton feels that the sur
face has hardly been scratched.
His successor is one of his former
University students, Dr. James

Southern history, who recently

This issue of the Daily Tir

Joyner, editor and a member
of the Publications Board, said
yesterday.
Joyner made the announce
ment after' having conferred
wiih the Publications Bord
and with Orvjlle Campbell,
owner of Colonial Press, Inc.,
which prints the paper.
"There is so little activity
on the campus Ihh summer
thai the need for a newpjj.pr
is not commcnturst? with ihs
cost of publication," Joyner
said in explaining why the
paper would ceme publishing.
"The fact that the Daily Tir
Heel has been operating with
a skeleton staff this summer
and that several stalf mem
bers did not return for ire
second term was also a factor
in the decision." he added.
During the first summer ses
sion the paper was published
twice a week as is customary
during the summer. This is
the second year that pubHci
tion has been suspended dur
ing the second term. Last yeir
a shortage of newsprint caused
the stoppage.
