Reverend David Stuart Dodge
Rev. David Stuart Dodge (1836-1921) was a friend and supporter of the Reverend Dr. Daniel Bliss, the founder of the Syrian Protestant College, Beirut. Dodge became the professor for English and modern languages at the institute, a position he held for nine years. He was later appointed the America based Chairman of Trustees for the College.

Dodge was the third son of wealthy New York merchant William Earl Dodge and Melissa Phelps. He was educated at the Phillips Academy at Andover before attending Yale and later the Union Theological Seminary from where he graduated in 1860. In the same year he married, Ellen Ada Phelps, the daughter of John Jay Phelps and Rachel Badgeley Phinney.〔The Dodge and Phelps families were next door neighbours in Madison Avenue.〕 Their honeymoon took them to the Holy Land where they met and befriended the Reverend Daniel Bliss and his wife Abby Wood who had been in Syria for five years, working for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, initially running a small school and later a larger boarding school for girls.
The American missionaries saw the need for a higher education facility in Syria, but funding had to be raised independently. Bliss was asked to spearhead this task and in 1862 travelled to America to seek sponsorship, where he met Dodge’s father who became the College’s largest sponsor. In 1866 Bliss returned to Beirut with Dodge and sufficient money to make a start; they initially rented a house where they taught sixteen students, with Dodge as the first professor. Four years later they had acquired a site to build the Syrian Protestant College and Dodge returned to America to seek further funding. The corner stone of the main building was laid in 1872 by Dodge’s father.
