Baker Dies in Plane Crash
Topics: Competency and Skills-Experience and ExpertisePhilanthropy-Giving ImpactLast December 1, a plane piloted by George F. Baker III (MBA ’64), a retired financier and philanthropist, crashed off the coast of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. Authorities presumed that the 66-year-old Baker died in the accident. The Baker family has had an extraordinary impact on Harvard University for many generations, beginning with Baker’s great-grandfather, whose donation of $5 million in 1924 made possible the construction of the Harvard Business School campus, with Baker Library as its centerpiece. At HBS, among other activities, Baker served on the Board of Dean’s Advisors from 1980 to 1993. During the past few years, he was a generous supporter of the renovation and expansion of Baker Library.
