Archivist’s Notes
Brother of William R. Richards
Century Memorial
George Richards was a high authority on insurance law; his lectures on the subject were part of the course at the two New York law schools and his text-book on it is standard authority. He had practiced law in New York City for more than half a century. Like many other professional celebrities, he had a longer background of his own; he played four years on the Yale base-ball team from 1868 to 1872, sang on the college glee club and was one of the “Yale Lit” editors.
