Alfred Henry Lloyd (January 3, 1864 – May 11, 1927)[1] was an American philosopher.

Life

Lloyd received both his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Harvard. He studied philosophy at Göttingen University in Berlin and Heidelberg University, before returning to Harvard for his Ph.D., which he received in 1893. Upon returning from Europe in 1891, Lloyd was recruited by John Dewey[2] as an instructor in philosophy at the University of Michigan. He remained there his entire career, becoming full professor in 1906. He was named dean of the Graduate School in 1915.[3]

Lloyd was interim president of the University of Michigan from February 26[4] through September 1925, following the death of Marion LeRoy Burton. He was succeeded by Clarence Cook Little. Lloyd's daughter, Alice Crocker Lloyd, served as the Dean of Women.[5]

Works

Lloyd was the author of five books — Citizenship and Salvation (1897), Dynamic Idealism (1898), Philosophy of History (1899), The Will to Doubt (1907),[6] and Leadership and Progress (1922) — and over seventy articles.[7]
