His father was at one time President of Oberlin College. The family was descended from John Winthrop. Henry died December 4, 1951, leaving a widow, Grace Wetherell Ballantine, and a daughter, Betty Ballantine Hogan. One brother Arthur is the senior member of the New York law firm of Root, Ballantine, Harlan, Bushby, and Palmer. Another brother Edward is Professor of Music, Emeritus, at Harvard. Henry himself studied at Oberlin, Amherst and Harvard, graduating from Harvard College in 1900. The next year he spent on a horseback trip through Mexico and a journey along the Pacific Coast to Alaska. He then entered the Harvard Law School where he made a brilliant record, graduating in 1904. He then came to San Francisco and, with the exception of a brief period in Los Angeles, practiced in San Francisco until 1911. For a portion of that time he gave some law work at California and at Hastings. In 1911 he went as Dean of the Law School to the University of Montana, then successively became Professor of Law at Wisconsin, Dean of the School of Law at Illinois, and Professor of Law at Minnesota.
