William James Battle, born in Raleigh, North Carolina, received a B.A. from the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1888 and a Ph.D. from Harvard in
1893, the same year he went to the University of Texas as associate professor of
Greek. Dean of the College of Arts by 1908 and Dean of Faculty by 1911, Battle was
elected acting president of the university in 1914. After a controversial two years
he stepped down and in 1917 went to the University of Cincinnati until 1920 when he
returned to UT as professor of classical languages and chairman of the Faculty
Building Committee. He retired in 1948 but remained as a professor emeritus and
returned to North Carolina shortly before his death in 1955.
