Charles Howard Richardson (1887-1977)

RICHARDSON, Charles Howard (1887-1977) was one of two young men hired as collectors for the newly opened Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at U. C. Berkeley in 1908. Joseph Grinnell believed it was best to hire individuals with their accomplishments still ahead of them. A receipt shows he was paid $3 a day. Richardson received his Ph.D. at Standford in entomology in 1913, and later went to Iowa State.
