Biography
Haskins was the son of medievalist Charles Homer Haskins, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University. He was born and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[3]
He was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy (1931), Harvard University (AB, summa cum laude, 1935), and Harvard Law School (Juris Doctor, 1942).[4] Haskins was a Guggenheim Fellow, and was a Henry Fellow at Merton College of Oxford University.[5] He enlisted during World War 2, and rose to become a major in military intelligence in the War Department General Staff, receiving the Army Commendation Medal with oak leaf clusters and—from the British government—the George Medal.[6]
Haskins was the Algernon Sydney Biddle Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, the oldest of the endowed chairs at the law school.[7][8] He taught at the law school for 39 years.[7]
He wrote at least ten books and 82 articles.[3] Haskins was a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and President of the American Society for Legal History.[5] He died on October 4, 1991, at his home in Hancock, Maine.[6]
