Clifton Landon Hall was born 28 October 1898 in Cowansville, Quebec. He received his bachelor's degree, with honors, from Bishop's University, where he majored in French and Latin. He received Master of Arts degrees from McGill University and from Teachers College, Columbia University. In 1949, he received a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of education from the University of North Carolina.
Hall served as a teacher and administrator in Quebec schools, as an investigator in the Canadian Army during World War II, and as a lecturer at UNC prior to 1949, when he began teaching education at Peabody College, Nashville, Tennessee. Beginning in 1956, he spent a year as a visiting professor at the University of Manchester, England. He left Peabody in 1967. He was a visiting professor at Vanderbilt University and then at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, until his retirement in 1969. During his career as an educator, he wrote numerous articles for educational journals.
Hall died in 1987.
