He was the founder of the School of Drama at the University of Washington and its first director. Academic career He graduated from Stanford University in 1916, then taking a teaching position at Bellingham State Normal School, from 1916 to 1918. He received a master's degree from the University of Washington around 1920. For his thesis project, he submitted poetry instead of an analytical study. He received a Guggenheim fellowship in 1928. The research, carried out over the course of several years, led to the publication of Imagism and the Imagists: A Study in Modern Poetry (1930, 2nd. ed. 1961).] Hughes taught at Scripps College for only a year (1929–1930) and then went back to the University of Washington and remained on the faculty there for the rest of his academic career. Two theaters on or near campus resulted from his efforts and thrived under his leadership: The Showboat (since 1938) and The Penthouse (since 1940); Hughes was later able to secure The Playhouse Theatre for less conventional performances. As a result, the Seattle campus was the only one in the US to have three theaters presenting shows. The Penthouse was later named „The Glenn Hughes Penthouse Theatre‟ in his honor.
