He served on the faculty at the University of Kansas from 1891 to 1937, where he was the head of the English department for many years. He was also the head coach for the school's football team for their 1891 season, their first official head coach.[1] Hopkins graduated from Princeton University in 1888 with a bachelor's degree in English and earned a master's degree the following year. While at Princeton he was elected to the "Lit" board in 1888.[2] That same year he won "The Lippincott prize" of $50 for writing the best article on "Social Life at Princeton".[2] He returned to Princeton to complete his PhD in 1894, and upon his return to KU he became a full professor in English.[3]
