GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP PRIZE

In conjunction with this year's annual conference, the Pacific Northwest
Renaissance Society is pleased to announce the creation of the PNRS

Renaissance Conference and subsequently at the annual meeting of the
Renaissance Society of America. The deadline for proposals for this
year's PNRS meeting is February 15, 2004; the full manuscript of any
