Corbin, Harry Finch, 1917-1990.

Harry Finch Corbin was born February 7, 1912 in Latham, Kansas. He moved to Wichita with his family in 1921 and attended Park Grade School, Central Intermediate School, and North and East High Schools. He was awarded a Rhodes scholarship in 1937, but his father's death forced Corbin to leave school in order to run the family oil brokerage business in Mattoon, Illinois.

Three years later he returned to Wichita and continued his studies. He received his bachelor of arts degree in 1940, and enrolled in law school at Stanford University. He married fellow Stanford student Sally Hyde in 1940 and transferred to the University of Chicago where he earned a bachelor of divinity degree. Following three years as a lieutenant in the Navy's Chaplain Corps, he completed his law degree at the University of Kansas in 1949.
