Author of May Book

PENNINGTON HAILE '24, lecturer on international affairs for the past 15 years, will join the ranks of the authors also when his book The Eagle and theBear is published this month. In this new volume he deals with the significant, divergent trends of thinking in the backgrounds of Russia and the United States, an understanding of which he believes is essential for a solution of the present difficulties between the two countries.

Mr. Haile, who taught English and then Philosophy at Dartmouth from 1926 to 1931 and took his Ph.D. at Harvard in 1935, was for several years Assistant Director of the old League of Nations Association and later was Director of Popular Education for the Commission to Study the Organization of Peace. During the first year of the war he was a lecturer for the War Department in the Army Orientation Course.

A busy lecture schedule requires New York as a headquarters during the winter, but Mr. Haile spends a large part of the year at his home in Nantucket.
