Charles Rischbieth Jury (1893-1958), poet and professor of English, was born on 13 September 1893 at Glenelg, Adelaide, eldest of five children of South Australian-born parents George Arthur Jury, merchant, and his second wife Elizabeth Susan, née Rischbieth. Charles was educated at Glenelg Grammar School and at the Collegiate School of St Peter (1909-13) where he was head prefect.
