Born in Brooklyn, New York, he attended university at Georgetown and Cambridge, where he studied with I.A. Richards, and Columbia, where he studied law. In 1942 he was appointed curator of Harvard Library’s Poetry Room (established in 1931 and specialising in twentieth century poetry in English); curator of the Farnsworth Room in 1945; and Subject Specialist in English Literature in 1947. Stratis Haviaras writes in The Harvard Librarian that ‘Though five other curators preceded him, Jack Sweeney is considered the Father of the Poetry Room …’. 1 He oversaw the Poetry Room’s move to the Lamont Library, ‘establishing its philosophy and its role within the library system and the University; and he endowed it with an international reputation’.2 He also lectured in General Education and English at Harvard.

The AEA’s founding purpose of “the encouragement of economic research” requires intellectual and professional integrity. Integrity demands honesty, care, and transparency in conducting and presenting research; disinterested assessment of ideas; acknowledgement of limits of expertise; and disclosure of real and perceived conflicts of interest. The AEA encourages the “perfect freedom of economic discussion.” This goal requires an environment where all can freely participate and where each idea is considered on its own merits. Economists have a professional obligation to conduct civil and respectful discourse in all forums, including those that allow confidential or anonymous participation.

  • Ansley Park Scavenger Hunt Sunday, September 15, 2019 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM Winn Park
    Ansley Park Scavenger Hunt Sunday, September 15, 2019 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM Winn Park Register your team at https://ansleypark.org/APCA-Special-Events/ Over the past several months, some clues for the scavenger hunt have appeared in the Anslephile. Listed below is a compilation of those clues. #1 - A half-century older than the neighborhood itself, Ansley Park’s Leyden House Columns earned mention in Gone with the Wind, watched over as both Union and Confederate generals walked underneath, and were later rescued by Rosa Woodberry to adorn her all-girls’ school on Peachtree Circle, where they stand today. #2 - Two pioneering Ansley Park women are responsible for what is arguably Ansley Park’s grandest entrance, at Peachtree and 15th streets. Sue Harper Mims moved to Ansley from a site where the Georgian Terrace now stands, and by 1914 convinced the growing Christian Science congregation to erect its landmark building at the intersection. A decade later, Harriet Wilson High, a neighbor across the street, donated her mansion to house the city’s new art museum. #3 – Westchester Square, at Lafayette and 15th streets, first housed the mansion of Edward Inman, son of Georgia’s wealthiest citizen and nephew of Inman Park developer Samuel Inman. Following a fire in 1924, Edward and his wife Emily teamed with Philip Schuze to build Buckhead’s Swan House and relocated north. However, several buildings from the Inman estate remain today, later combined to form a home along Yonah Park. #4 – The World Athletes Monument, at the northern junction of the Peachtrees, was donated by Prince Charles to commemorate the 1996 Summer Olympics.

  • Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
    Gone With the Wind By Margaret Mitchell Courtesy: Shahid Riaz Islamabad - Pakistan [email protected] "Gone With the Wind" By Margaret Mitchell 2 Part One Chapter I Scarlett O’Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother, a Coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father. But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw. Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends. Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin—that skin so prized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns. Seated with Stuart and Brent Tarleton in the cool shade of the porch of Tara, her father’s plantation, that bright April afternoon of 1861, she made a pretty picture. Her new green flowered-muslin dress spread its twelve yards of billowing material over her hoops and exactly matched the flat-heeled green morocco slippers her father had recently brought her from Atlanta. The dress set off to perfection the seventeen-inch waist, the smallest in three counties, and the tightly fitting basque showed breasts well matured for her sixteen years. But for all the modesty of her spreading skirts, the demureness of hair netted smoothly into a chignon and the quietness of small white hands folded in her lap, her true self was poorly concealed.
