It made its studies under the direction of Nora Kershaw Chadwick.

It practiced and knew perfectly the six Celtic languages (Breton, Cornique, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, and Mannois). He learned the Breton one with Plougrescant, in the Trégor.

He was professor of Celtique to Harvard in 1939, then at the University of Edinburgh in 1949 (where he occupied the pulpit of Celtic Literature).

He was also member of several high institutions in Great Britain and Ireland.

He is the author of various works which make authority including one monumental work (904 pages) on the historical Phonologie of the Breton (1967), where he dismounts the theories of the canon François Falc' hun, but dedicates its work to him.

He dies in February 1991.
