Biographical History
George Huntington Williams was a mineralogist, petrologist, and professor of Geology, The Johns Hopkins University, 1882-1894.
He was born in Utica, N.Y. Jan. 28, 1856. Williams received his Ph. D. from the University of Heidelberg (1882) where he studied with the renowned teacher of microscopic petrography, Heinrich Rosenbush. Williams accepted a position in the newly established Geology department at Hopkins and pioneered the instruction of petrography in American universities. Henry Carvill Lewis (1853-1888), a geologist and mineralogist, was a Fellow in Williams's laboratory and shared his interest in petrologic studies. Like Williams, Lewis left for Heidelberg (1885-1887) to continue his studies with Professor Rosenbush. George Hunting Williams died in 1894.
