Hopwood was one of the most well-known playwrights of the 1920s—most notably for having four Broadway hits showing concurrently in 1920. His legacy extends to the Hopwood Awards, established at U-M in 1931. Hopwood requested “that students competing for prizes shall be allowed the widest possible latitude, and that the new, the unusual, and the radical shall be especially encouraged.”
