The Poor Richards

Franklin & Marshall College

The Poor Richards were founded in 1968 and are Franklin and Marshall College’s only co-ed a cappella group and oldest of the a cappella groups on campus. The group is run entirely by students, and all of the songs are arranged by group members. The Poor Richards’ repertoire ranges from oldies to contemporary hits heard on the radio. They have performed with other collegiate a cappella groups as well as professional a cappella groups, such as Duwende, founded by Poor Richards alumni. The Poor Richards are due to release their new album, "Porch Diaries," in the Fall of 2011.
