Albert Léon Guérard

Albert Léon Guérard (1880–1959) was a prominent scholar of comparative literature.

For two years, Guérard was assistant professor of History at the Paris école normale supérieure.

The same year, he emigrated to the United States, where he taught the French language at Williams College.

Until 1924, he taught at the International Rice Research Institute; his tenure was interrupted by his involvement in the First World War.
