Glenn Arthur Hughes arrived at the University of Washington as a teaching fellow in September 1919. Hughes was born in Cozad, Nebraska, in 1894. After graduating from high school in 1912 as Class Poet, Hughes attended Stanford University on a scholarship; he majored in English. He graduated in 1916, at age 22, and took a teaching job at Bellingham State Normal School (now Western Washington University). He taught there for two years, served a brief stint in the Army at the end of World War I, and then moved to the University of Washington as a teaching fellow in English. In 1920, he acquired his master's degree, the first to be awarded by the UW for creative rather than strictly scholarly work. His "thesis" was a book of poems. He started several local literary publications, edited volumes of poetry and plays written by his students, and, with his first wife, Babette Plechner, translated French plays and monologues. He also launched Seattle's first foreign film series.
