Sándor Márai was a Hungarian writer and journalist. He was born in 1900 on April 11 in the city of Kingdom of Hungary. Through his father, he was a relative of the Hungarian noble Országh family. In his early years, Márai travelled to and lived in Frankfurt and Paris and considered writing in German, but chose his mother language, for his writings. In Egy polgár vallomásai, Márai identifies the mother tongue language with the concept of nation itself, he settled in Krisztinaváros, Budapest, in 1928. In the 1930s, he gained prominence with a clear realist style, he was the first person to write reviews of the work of Franz Kafka. He wrote enthusiastically about the First and Second Vienna Awards, in which as the result of the German-Italian arbitration Czechoslovakia and Romania had to give back part of the territories which Hungary lost in the Treaty of Trianon. Márai was critical of the Nazis. Marai authored 46 books, his 1942 book Embers expresses a nostalgia for the bygone multi-ethnic, multicultural society of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, reminiscent of the works of Joseph Roth.

In 2006 an adaptation of this novel for the stage, written by Christopher Hampton, was performed in London. He disliked the communist regime that seized power after World War II, left – or was driven away – in 1948. After living for some time in Italy, Márai settled in the United States. Márai joined with Radio Free Europe between 1951-1968. Márai was disappointed in the Western powers for not helping the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, he was not published in English until the mid-1990s. Like other memoirs by Hungarian writers and statesmen, it was first published in the West, because it could not be published in the Hungary of the post-1956 Kádár era; the English version of the memoir was published posthumously in 1996. After his wife died in 1986, Márai retreated more into isolation. In 1987, he lived with advanced cancer and his depression worsened when he lost his adopted son, John, he ended his life with a gunshot to his head in San Diego in 1989. He left behind three granddaughters. Forgotten outside of Hungary, his work has only been "rediscovered" and republished in French, Catalan, English, Spanish, Czech, Danish, Korean, Dutch and other languages too, is now considered to be part of the European Twentieth Century literary canon.

Louis Crompton, son of Master Mariner Clarence and Mabel Crompton, was a Canadian-born scholar, professor and pioneer in the instruction of queer studies. Crompton received an M. A. in mathematics from the University of Toronto in 1948 and a Ph. D. in English from the University of Chicago in 1954. After teaching mathematics at the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto, he joined the English department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1955, retiring in 1989. During his career, he gained an international reputation as a scholar of the works of George Bernard Shaw. In 1970, Crompton taught a gay studies class at UNL, the second such course offered in the United States, an action that raised LGBT awareness in academia and the nation; the course provoked one Nebraska state legislator into introducing a bill that would ban any teaching on homosexuality in any Nebraska public college. However, Crompton decided not to offer the course again, but continued to pursue the subject through research and publication.

In the early 1970s, Crompton became the faculty advisor for the Gay Action Group, forerunner of today's UNL Queer Ally Coalition, helped found the UNL Homophobia Awareness Committee, which became the Committee on Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Concerns. In 1974, Crompton co-founded the Gay and Lesbian Caucus of the Modern Language Association. In 1978, Crompton scored a literary coup by editing and publishing in the Journal of Homosexuality the full text of "Offences Against One's Self: Paederasty," a never-before published 1785 essay by utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham. Bentham had suppressed the essay during his lifetime, for fear of public outrage at his views on liberalizing the laws concerning homosexual activity. Crompton received many awards and honors during his career, including the Bonnie Zimmerman and Vern L. Bullough Prize of the Foundation for the Scientific Study of Sexuality award for 2003 for his book Homosexuality and Civilization, which covers 2500 years of world history.

In 2009, a scholarship was established at UNL in Crompton's name for students working toward "a more just, inclusive society for the LGBTQ community". At the time of his death, who had retired to California, was Professor Emeritus of English at UNL, he was survived by his partner of forty years, Luis Diaz-Perdomo a former UNL faculty member who served many years with Counseling and Psychological Services at UNL and facilitated the Gay Men’s Discussion Group.
