The vacations of the college were in the winter, and in the vacation following her sophomore year she had her first experience in teaching, in a district school 3 miles (4.8 km) out of Des Moines, Iowa, where the family was then living. The next winter, when seventeen years of age, she served as an assistant in a Baptist College in Des Moines, her earnings enabling her to pay most of her college expenses.[3]
Career
Her first schools after graduating were in Iowa. From 1875 to 1879, she taught in the

In 1890, she resigned her professorship in the university and received a call to the presidency of a prominent normal school, which she refused. That summer she became the wife of Cromwell Galpin, of
Los Angeles, California, consummating a somewhat romantic attachment of her college life. She later taught special classes in oratory in the University of Los Angeles. In 1892, Galpin opened a class in Shakespeare for mature women.[2] The Kate Tupper Galpin Shakespeare Club met monthly, and by 1922, it had 133 active members 133.[4] She had one child, a daughter, Ellen Galpin.[3] Her stepdaughter Lloy Galpin was also a suffragist, teacher, and clubwoman.[5]
