William Croswell Doane was born on March 2, 1832 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. His parents were Reverend George Washington Doane, afterward Bishop of New Jersey, and his wife, Eliza Greene (Callahan) Perkins, widow of James Perkins. He was born in Boston where his father was at the time Rector of Trinity Church.
Doane graduated at Burlington College, New Jersey. He was the recipient of honorary degrees from Trinity, Columbia, Hobart, and Union colleges, and from the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin.
Doane ordained deacon in 1853 and priest in 1856. Between 1853 and 1869 he was successively rector of St. Mary’s Church, Burlington; St. John’s, Hartford, Connecticut , and St. Peter’s, Albany. During the same period he was for six years adjunct professor of literature at Burlington College and for four years lecturer in the same subject at Trinity College.
He held that no episcopate was complete without its cathedral which should have free seats, frequent services, schools and houses of mercy of all kinds; and the fruition of this idea, All Saints Cathedral of Albany, having in its connection St. Agnes School, the Child’s Hospital, St. Margaret’s Home, and the Sisterhood of the Holy Child, has been influential in establishing the American ideal of cathedral administration. He was visitor, trustee, and honorary chancellor of Hobart College, and regent and chancellor of the University of the State of New York. At two Lambeth Conferences he was spokesman for the American Episcopate.
He was fond of ceremony, wore the dress of an English bishop, and was frequently regarded as aristocratic.
Broadening and mellowing with the years, at his summer chapel at Northeast Harbor, he ministered to and even gave the Communion to members of all denominations.

Doane was a stanch upholder of the cause of missions, vigorous in his opposition to divorce and a leader in his church for its suppression.
Quotations:
"To be a gentleman does not depend upon the tailor or the toilet. Good clothes are not good habits. A gentleman is just a gentle-man, — no more, no less; a diamond polished, that was first a diamond in the rough. "
"The success of sainthood is the success attained by struggle and suffering and achieved by faith; a success of honor, of clean hands and pure heart, of service to man and glory to God. "
Indefatigable in his diocesan activities, Doane was actively interested in the betterment of social and moral conditions, and fearless in expressing his opinion on public questions.
While always a pronounced churchman, however, he was really democratic in spirit, and numbered among his friends all sorts and conditions of people.
In November 1853 Doane married Sarah Katharine Condit of Newark, New Jersey, whom he survived.
