Mary Eloise von Schrader Jarrell (1914-2007) graduated from Stanford University in 1936 with a degree in philosophy. She was a patron of the arts, an editor, a writer, and the widow of poet and English professor Randall Jarrell. After Jarrell's death in 1965, she dedicated her time to memorializing his life by editing and writing several books about her husband's life and poetry. In 1995, she gave an interview and spoke about her life with Randall Jarrell, as well as his teaching method, rapport with students, his interest in T.S. Eliot's poetry, and his feminine and masculine sides. She discusses her husband's time as an English professor at Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, now UNC Greensboro, from 1948 to 1965. Jarrell recalls that her husband preferred to teach female students because of their knowledge of the Bible, but not male students because they asked too many questions in class. She gives the reasons why she thinks Randall Jarrell referred to Woman's College as a "Sleeping Beauty." She suspects it was because he had written two poems about "Sleeping Beauty," he liked women, and he thought of his female students as being asleep, and his teaching as the catalyst that would wake them up to the wider-world. Jarrell recalls her husband bringing his literary friends to campus for the annual Arts Forum and the impact it had on the students when they met poets and writers that they had studied. She mentions poets and writers Robert Frost, Robert Lowell, Flannery O'Connor, Ezra Pound, Karl Shapiro, Peter Taylor, and Robert Watson. Jarrell recalls the campus-wide curriculum controversy of the early 1950s during the time of Chancellor Edward Kidder Graham. She also talks about her husband's depression, which revealed itself in several of his poems. Jarrell attributes her husband's depression to wanting approval from the college and his peers, not winning the Pulitzer Prize, feeling passed over, and aging.
