Doyle, Henry Grattan
From GWUEncyc
Faculty
Bespectacled and rotund; a little more sparse than picture; chaperon to the publications; newly appointed usher to men’s organizations. Professor Doyle, progressing in due course of time from the educational advantages offered by his native town, Somerville, Mass., eventually attended Harvard University, where he became (and still understand) a rabid Harvardite, hanging up his A.B. from that noted school in 1911 and framing his A.M. from the same place in 1912.
He started his career as educator in 1912, beginning instructor in Modern Languages at Porter Military Academy, Charleston, S.C., only to return to Harvard, 1913-1916, to serve in a similar capacity. In the fall of 1916 Professor Doyle came to G.W. as instructor in Romance Languages, becoming assistant professor in 1918 and professor in 1921. He has taught mostly Spanish and French, but the next year he will add Italian to his schedule.
He has also been connected with Cornell University, where he was in charge of Spanish during the summers of 1920 and 1923. He has recently been appointed to the faculty of John Hopkins for 1926-27 and will conduct a graduate course in old French, commuting each day between Baltimore and Washington to be able to do so. Professor Doyle is noted for his active interest in student affairs as a member of the Student Activities Committee and is the chairman of the Publication Council. Beginning with the fall term he will be joint chairman with Dean Rose of the Faculty Committee on Social Relations.
He is a member of the Pyramid Honor Society and faculty advisor to Pi Delta Epsilon honorary journalistic fraternity. He is president of the G.W. Chapter of the American Association of University Professors, which body he also represents on the American Council of Education. He is also the president of the Federal Schoolmen’s Club, president of the Association of Modern Language Teachers of the Middle States and Maryland, and a member of the Harvard Club of which he is chairman of the committee on schools.
He is editor of the Modern Languages section of the Journal of Education, associate editor of Hispana, and assistant managing editor of Modern Language Journals. He has also published numerous articles and books.
