From 1903 to 1920 he was the dean of the junior college at the University of Chicago. Lovett was also the author of a few novels and Cowards, a play. In 1917 he was editor of the Dial and in 1921 he became an associate editor for The New Republic. From 1939 to 1943, he was Government Secretary of the Virgin Islands and acting Governor from 1940 to 1941. In 1943, Lovett was charged by the Dies Committee for being a communist, and was barred from future federal employment.
