Why is one George Peabody associated with education and the endowment thereof a "capitalist" and the other a "philanthropist"? Aren't they equally deserving of that title, or not?

[edit] Doesn't college merit mention in article?
Shouldn't the fact that an entire college, once quite influential, was named for him merit mention in the body of the article rather than a mere footnote? Admittedly the school is no longer extant, at least as an independent institution, but at one point was quite presitigious. Comments? Rlquall 17:16, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
There's also no mention here of Marjorie Peabody Waite, his daughter (adopted 1926). She's somewhat notable in her own right, having written a history of Yaddo and she had an award given in her name by the American Academy of Arts and Letters from 1956-1983 (search [1] by 'Award' for 'Marjorie' - its not listed on the awards page because its not given out any more). One of the recipients, in 1958, was Dorothy Parker. Bazzargh (talk) 17:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
