- Great Benefactor of Dartmouth University
- from "The New York Times", 14 Dec 1982
Pennington Haile, a lecturer on international relations and former assistant director of the League of Nations Association, died of a heart attack Saturday at the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover, N.H. He was 79 years old and lived in Norwich, Vt. In World War II, Mr. Haile lectured at military posts for the War Department's orientation course. He was the author of ''The Eagle and the Bear: A Primer of Political Philosophy.'' The book, published in 1950, was a study of the differing political philosophies of the United States and the Soviet Union. Mr. Haile was a graduate of Dartmouth College and received a doctorate from Harvard University in 1935. He was a music patron and a benefactor of Dartmouth. He was instrumental in making possible Dartmouth's purchase and preservation of much of the 4,500 acres the college owns on the south slope of Moosilauke Mountain in Hanover, one of the few privately owned watershed areas in New England with public access. Mr. Haile had no immediate survivors.
