Born in Baltimore, MD, Hull received his A.B. in 1889 and Ph.D. in 1892 from Johns Hopkins University. He also studied history abroad at the University of Berlin (1891) and the University of Leyden (1907). In 1892 he became the youngest faculty member at Swarthmore College when he was appointed Associate Professor of History and Economics. He served as Joseph Wharton Professor of History and Political Science (1894-1904), Professor of History (1904-1911), Isaac H. Clothier Professor of History and International Relations (1911-1929), Howard M. Jenkins Research Professor of Quaker History (1929-1939), and Librarian, Friends Historical Library (1936-1939).
Committed to world organization, disarmament, and international arbitration, Hull attended the Second International Conference at the Hague in 1907. In 1908 he published a history of the two Hague conferences, The Two Hague Conferences and Their Contributions to International Law Boston, which was widely used as a text and a reference book. He was U.S. Delegate to the International Conference on Education at the Hague (1914-1915), an official observer in Paris during the writing of the Covenant of the League of Nations, and attended the Washington Naval Conference in 1922 and the General Disarmament Conference at Geneva in 1932.
He was appointed Quaker representative on the board of the Church Peace Union in 1914, serving as trustee for many years. He was also a Director of the World Peace Foundation, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Arbitration and Peace Society, and a frequent lecturer for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. In 1929 he was appointed Howard M. Jenkins Research Professor of Quaker History and wrote extensively on Quaker history, especially on Dutch Quakers and on William Penn.показать меньше
