He is best known as the longest serving Secretary of State, holding the position for 11 years in the administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt during much of World War II. Hull received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1945 for his role in establishing the United Nations, and was referred to by President Roosevelt as the "Father of the United Nations". In 1891, Hull graduated from Cumberland School of Law at Cumberland University. He served in the Tennessee House of Representatives from 1893 to 1897.
