==Biography==
Hulbert was born in New Haven, Vermont, in 1863 of Calvin and Mary Hulbert. His mother Mary Elizabeth Woodward Hulbert was a granddaughter of Mary Wheelock, daughter of Eleazar Wheelock, the founder of Dartmouth College. After graduating from Dartmouth, Hulbert attended Union Theological Seminary in 1884. He originally went to Korean Empire in 1886 with two other instructors, Delzell A. Bunker and George W. Gilmore, to teach English at the Royal English School.〔(Dynamic Korea: The American who loved Korea more than a Korean )〕 In 1901 he founded the magazine The Korea Review. Before 1905 he was positive towards Japanese involvement in Korea, seeing them as an agent of reform, as opposed to what he saw as reactionary Russia. He changed his position in September 1905, when he criticized Japanese plans for turning Korean Empire into a protectorate. He resigned his position as a teacher in the public middle school, and in October 1905 he went to the United States as an emissary of Emperor Go Jong, protesting Japan's actions. After returning to Korean Empire in 1906, he went sent as part of a secret delegation from Emperor Ko Jong to the Second International Peace Conference held The Hague in June 1907. They failed to gain a hearing with the world powers, and emperor's actions led to the Japanese forcing him to abdicate. Hulbert's 1906 book, ''The Passing of Korea'', criticized Japanese rule. He was not so much theoretically opposed to colonialism as he was concerned that modernization under the secular Japanese was inferior to a Christian-inspired modernization.〔() Andre Schmid, "Two Americans in Seoul, Evaluating an Oriental Empire, 1905-1910"〕 He was expelled by the Japanese resident-general for Korea on May 8, 1907.
