Edwin Mortimer Hopkins
Edwin Mortimer Hopkins (September 16, 1862 – June 13, 1946) was an American university professor and college football coach.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.[2] That same year he won "The Lippincott prize" of $50 for writing the best article on "Social Life at Princeton".He was hired for the most part because he had recently arrived at the university from back east where the sport had already been established for several decades and was quickly gaining in popularity, which gave him a fresh thorough understanding of the game.In addition, he was a charter member of the American Association of University Professors and played an important role in the formation of the National Council of Teachers of English where he served as director for several years and president in 1915.
