He graduated in the Harvard class of 1887, and taught in the English Department at Harvard 1888-1924. He started his '47 workshop' class in playwrighting in 1906. He was instrumental in creating the Harvard Theatre Collection at Harvard Library. Unable to persuade Harvard to offer a degree in playwrighting, he moved to Yale University in 1925, where he helped found the Yale School of Drama. Among those he taught in his playwrighting class were Eugene O'Neill , George Abbott , Edward Sheldon , Sidney Howard , and Maurine Dallas Watkins . |
