CORBIN, William Herbert, business executive, was born at Union, Tolland County, Connecticut, July 20, 1864, son of William Merwin and Josephine (Walker) CORBIN and a descendant of Clement CORBIN, who came from England in 1638 and later settled at Brookline, Massachusetts. From Clement and his wife, Dorcas Buckminster (or Buckmaster), the descent was through Jabez and Mary Morse, Benjamin and Jemima Cutler, Asahel and Jerusha Morse, David and Mary Bugbee and Benjamin and Maria Potter, the grandparents of William H. CORBIN. His father was a manufacturer and merchant. He attended Hartford public schools and was graduated B.A. at Yale University in 1889. One of football's immortals, he was an All-American center and captain of the varsity team in 1888 which achieved an all-time Yale record by amassing 698 points to their opponent's zero. The team won thirteen games and lost none. His football prowess was memorialized by John Rogers (q.v.) when he posed with the sculptor's three sons, for the statuary piece, "Football." After leaving Yale, CORBIN taught at Dobbs Ferry, New York, in the Westminster School, 1889-92, and served for five years 1892-97, as headmaster of the Pingry School, Elizabeth, N. J. In 1897 he became treasurer of the Central Woolen Co., Stafford Springs, Connecticut, and in 1900 returned to Hartford to become secretary and treasurer of the William H. Wiley & Son Co. manufacturers of footwear and military equipment. He remained as secretary and treasurer of the firm's successor, Wiley-Bickford-Sweet Co., until 1922, after which he was vice president until 1926 when he retired. for two years (1932-33) he was vice president, treasurer and a director of the Ballard Oil Co., Hartford. during 1907-20 he served, by appointment of Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb (q.v.), as Connecticut state tax commissioner, in which capacity he was responsible for many reforms in the system of corporation and public service taxation, and was considered to have laid the foundation for the present tax structure of the state. CORBIN was the author of the laws covering taxation of miscellaneous corporation, and the revision from taxation of net to gross revenue of railroads and other public service corporations during his tenure state assessments rose to $1,000,000,000. He wrote many papers and reports concerning taxation. Upon his resignation in 1920, the Bulletin of the National Tax Association said, "To recount the accomplishments in Connecticut during his official life as tax commissioner would invite a reference to almost every important advance in the art that has been brought to some degree of practical application there." In Hartford he served as a member of the Public Library board for thirty years and as its president from 1936 until his death, and was a trustee of the Horace Bushnell Memorial, a member of the Hartford Common Council and board of Aldermen, a member of the board of education of the Middle School district during 1901-1920 and a trustee of the Watkinson Library, and was actively interested in the Y.M.C.A. He was a member of the Sons of the American revolution, National Tax Association, New England Association of Tax Officials (pres.1913-14), Charity Organization Society, Connecticut Civil Service Reform Association, Municipal art Society, Hartford Chamber of Commerce, Psi Upsilon, the Graduate Club Association, New Haven, the Yale and Touchdown clubs, New York City, and the Twilight, Twentieth Century and University clubs, Hartford. In 1914 Yale University conferred on him an honorary M.A. degree. His religious affiliation was with the Congregational Church. In politics he was a Republican. He was married in Manchester, Connecticut, July 16, 1890, to Mary, daughter of John Francis Williams of that place, a farmer, and had two children: Walker Williams and Elinor CORBIN, who married Clarence Wardell St. John. He died in Hartford, April 14,1945.
