==Life and career==
Born on February 2, 1902 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Hoffman attended Lafayette College (A.B., 1923) and the University of Pennsylvania (M.A., 1926; Ph.D., 1932). His doctoral dissertation ("Great Britain and the German Trade Rivalry, 1875-1914"), prepared under the supervision of William Ezra Lingelbach, was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 1933 and received the George Louis Beer Prize from the American Historical Association in 1934.
Hoffman began his teaching career at New York University, where he was an Instructor (1926-1933) and then Assistant Professor of History (1933-1938). Hoffman had initially rejected the Protestant Christianity that he was raised in by his parents, who were of German descent, and was instead attracted to Socialism.〔(Jeffrey O. Nelson, "Hoffman, Ross J.S.," ) ''First Principles'' (Apr. 8, 2011).〕 However, the study of history, as well as traveling throughout Europe, observing world events in the 1920s, and a thorough reading of scripture led him he to convert to Roman Catholicism in 1931.〔(Jeffrey O. Nelson, "Hoffman, Ross J.S.," ) ''First Principles'' (Apr. 8, 2011); (John P. McCarthy, "Ross J. S. Hoffman: Conservative Spokesman in a Utopian Period -- the War and Post-War Years," ) ''Intercollegiate Review'', Vol. 28, no. 2 (Spring 1993): 42-49.〕 He described his conversion in his book, ''Restoration'' (Sheed, 1934). When the Rev. Robert I. Gannon, President of Fordham University, a Jesuit institution, approached Hoffman about joining the History faculty at Fordham, he agreed. At Fordham, he began as an Associate Professor (1938-1944) and then Professor of History (1944-1967). He was made Professor Emeritus in 1967.〔"Ross John Swartz Hoffman," ''Contemporary Authors Online'' (Detroit: Gale, 2001).〕
Hoffman was married to Hannah Elizabeth McCruden (1926), and they had one child.〔"Ross John Swartz Hoffman," ''Contemporary Authors Online'' (Detroit: Gale, 2001).〕
