He came to Beirut in 1913 to assume the responsibilities of director of West Hall, at that time under construction with funds supplied in part by his father. West Hall was completed in 1914, the same year Dodge married Mary Bliss, daughter of Howard Bliss, whom he had previously met at a gathering in connection with the College. In 1920 the Syrian Protestant College became the American University of Beirut that we know today.
