Hulen was a military officer and railroad executive, and a member of
Texas Technological College Board of Directors from 1931- 1937. Born in 1871 in
Centralia, Missouri, Hulen moved to Texas with his parents in 1873, and
attended public school in Gainesville, Texas. He also attended military
academies in Virginia and Missouri, graduating in 1891. He joined the Texas
Volunteer Cavalry in 1889, and served in the Spanish-American War, the
Philippine Insurrection, and World War I. Both before and after World War I,
Hulen pursued a career as a railroad executive with various lines, including
the Frisco Lines, the Rhode Island-Frisco Lines and the Trinity and Brazos
Valley Railway Company. He became vice-president of both the Fort Worth and
Denver City and the Wichita Valley railway companies in 1930. Hulen later
served as vice-president and chairman of the board of the Burlington- Rock
