==Biography==
Harriet Isabel Ballintine was born 23 December 1864 in Le Roy, New York,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://specialcollections.vassar.edu/findingaids/ballintine_harriet.html )〕 a small town in Genesee County. She graduated from Ingham University in 1888,〔 just four years before the institution, sometimes touted as the first University in the United States exclusively for women, was closed due to financial problems.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.woodwardmemoriallibrary.org/university.php )〕 The next year she attended the first class in athletics for women at Harvard Summer School. After studying in Europe, and graduating from the Sargent School of Physical Training in Cambridge, Massachusetts, she returned briefly to Ingham as a teacher. She also taught at Lasell Seminary. In 1891, she moved on to Vassar College where she was first appointed Director of the Gymnasium, and was later named assistant professor. She taught in the Department of Physical Education until her retirement in 1930.〔 Ballintine was responsible for organizing the first collegiate track and field event for women (1895) and also established field hockey not only at Vassar but made it an acceptable sport for women at several institutions in the Northeast.
Ballintine served as an instructor at the Harvard Summer School in 1901 and 1902.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://archive.org/stream/vassarion00vass#page/n41/mode/2up/search/Ballantine )〕 It was there in 1901 that she met Constance Applebee and invited the Englishwoman to demonstrate field hockey at Vassar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/30655/Constance-MK-Applebee )〕 Later that year, Ballintine and Applebee helped to found the American Field Hockey Association, which governed the sport in the United States for 20 years.〔
In 1933, the trustees of Vassar College named the campus hockey field and the adjoining road Ballintine Field and Ballintine Road, respectively, after her.
