He was born on November 3, 1854, in Springfield Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania.

Before earning a Ph.D. in 1889 at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, he was a professor of mathematics in the University of the Pacific (1881–1886). After he became a professor of history and sociology at the University of Kansas. Ten years later he was made professor of sociology and economics at the same university. He became active in the university extension movement throughout the western United States, writing and lecturing on history, sociology and economics.[1] He was elected dean when the graduate school of the University of Kansas was organized in 1896.[2]
