Ernest Abner Hartsock was an American poets of the 1920s. He published three volumes of poetry and served as a Professor of Poetics at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, Georgia. Suffering from pernicious anemia, Hartsock died on December 14, 1930, at the age of 27.
Early years and education
Hartsock was born on May 5, 1903, in Atlanta, Georgia. He was educated at Boys High School (later Grady High School) in Atlanta and earned BA and MA degrees from Emory University, where he was a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. After graduation, he became an instructor at Georgia School of Technology in 1927 before becoming Professor of Poetics at Oglethorpe in 1929, where he taught until his death.
Arts and poetry
Hartsock's volumes of poetry were: Romance and Stardust (1925); Narcissus and Iscariot (1927); and Strange Splendor (1930). In 1929 he was awarded the annual award of excellence by the Poetry Society of America for "Strange Splendor," the first Atlantan to ever be so recognized. Hartsock was also founder, owner, and editor of the Bozart Press, a press devoted to the publication of poetry.
An accomplished musician, Hartsock served as organist for the Palace Theater in Atlanta for four years.
Death and legacy
Hartsock died on December 14, 1930, at the age of 27.
A life-size bronze bust of Hartsock by famed sculptor Fritz Zimmer currently resides in the Philip Weltner Library at Oglethorpe University. Another smaller, plaster bust of Hartsock made by Atlanta poet Blossom Tucker is held in the Oglethorpe University Archives.
The USC Viterbi School of Engineering (formerly the USC School of Engineering) is the engineering school of the University of Southern California. It was renamed following a $52 million donation by Andrew J. Viterbi, co-founder of Qualcomm.With over $135 million in external funding support, the school is among the nation's highest in volume of research activity. The Viterbi School of Engineering is currently ranked No. 9 in the United States by U.S. News & World Report.The school is headed by Dean Yannis Yortsos. Its research centers have played a major role in development of multiple technologies, including early development of the Internet when USC researcher Jonathan Postel was an editor of communications-protocol for the fledgling internet, also known as ARPANET. The school's faculty has included Irving Reed, Leonard Adleman, Solomon W. Golomb, Barry Boehm, Clifford Newman, Richard Bellman, Lloyd Welch, Alexander Sawchuk, Maja Matarić, and George V. Chilingar.
