In the 1890s, Dupuy was a prominent defender of the unjustly convicted Jewish French officer Alfred Dreyfus.[2][3]
After his retirement from the École Normale Supérieure, he became one of the first teachers of the International School of Geneva, the world's first international school, which he joined in 1925 at the age of 70, and where he remained for 10 years.[4]
