Dixon married Louise Knowlden on June 12, 1915, and they were the parents of six children. Dixon joined the faculty of Weber Academy in 1914 and taught there until his selection as President in 1919- After one year as president, Dixon left Weber to settle in Provo where he was active in educational and business capacities. He served as Superintendent of Provo City Schools, 1920-1924; Vice President of the Farmers and Merchants Bank; director of the Provo Chamber of Commerce, Director and President of the Timpanogos Marketing Association, 1924-1932; and, again as superintendent of schools from 1932-1937. That same year he obtained an Ed.D. from the University of Southern California and returned to the presidency of Weber College guiding the school during a sixteen-year period that saw many important changes and developments. Dixon not only presided over the school during the difficult days of World War II, when the college received national recognition for its technical division and war effort work, but oversaw the beginning of the construction of the new campus, and the initial move to the present site of the college in 1952. During Dixons administration, the colleges enrollment more than tripled. In August 1953, Dixon left Weber to accept the presidency of the Utah State Agricultural College in Logan, After serving in that post for fifteen months he was selected as the Republican nominee for Utahs First Congressional District when incumbent Rep.

After leaving congress, Dixon taught educational philosophy at Brigham Young University. During his career Dixon was active in a number of professional, civic, church and governmental positions. He died in Ogden on January 22, 1967. Henry Aldous Dixon and faculty companions enjoy a deer hunting trip during his second stint as president.
