those qualities which mark her
illustrious teaching career are
her championship of the under
dog. her ability to detect talent
in unlikely places, her impat
ience with convention and pro
tocol, her sharp wit, her disdain
for superficiality, her blunt
forthrightness, and her ability to
serve as a catalyst in developing
the powers of the mind of her
Dr. Hartsock was considered
to be a master teacher in every
sense by those who knew her --•
students, former students and
colleagues alike. Commenting
on teachers in general as well as
the teaching profession as a
whole, she said. "Ithink the first
requisite of a good teacher is a
passion for what he is teaching
--- and if he is doing it for the
money he might as well quit
right now! You've got to care
about Shakespeare if you are
going to teach it ....”
"The second most important
thing is that you've got treat
students as if they were human
beings . . . not as objects of your
battering flow of information."
"1 think there is a great deal
of error made on both of these
points. There are a lot of people
who will tell you they are
disillusioned with teaching who
ahve their eye on something
about whatever it is they are
teaching. 1 don't buy this idea
that you teach students. 1 think
you teach something , . . you
teach Stevens, Yeates or Shake
speare of chemitry ..."
Shortly after arriving in Wil
son in 1940. she felt perhaps she
had made a serious mistake in
coming at all. In all fairness, she
decided to stick it out for a year,
"1 stayed on because 1 got
involved . . . with the students,
with the college and the com
munity. I really love NOrIh
Carolina. 1 think 1 stayed in the
right place."
Asked if she felt the students
of today were any better than
those in past years, she said, "1
can really see little difference in
the generations. I have had
giH)d and alert students in every
time period. 1 have especially
enjoyed the really creative stud
ents I've had a handfull."
When asked for her opinion of
the "younger generation." Dr.
HarsiKk said, "Ithink generally,
in society as a whole, there has
been tin) much parental permis
siveness in the sense that kids
