Condict Moore ’38

Condict Moore died Aug. 14, 2014, at his summer residence in Scarborough, Maine. Connie was a descendant of Princeton’s first president, Jonathan Dickinson.

He graduated from Taft School, attended Princeton, and received a medical degree from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1942. During World War II, Connie served as doctor and surgeon in the Navy Reserve from 1942 to 1946 in addition to fulfilling his duties as a psychiatrist at the Memphis Naval Hospital.

After his service, Connie worked in Louisville, Ky., as a cancer surgeon and teacher at the Louisville School of Medicine. He was also a staff consultant at several local hospitals and became president of the Society of Surgical Oncology, the Society of Head and Neck Surgeons, and the Louisville Surgical Society. Connie was a pioneer in his field and published more than 60 papers in medical journals, bringing mammograms to Louisville and doing early research on tobacco as a cancer-causing substance.

Interspersed with his work, Connie spent many summers with his family in Prouts Neck, Maine.

He is survived by his wife, Caroline; children Martha, Michael ’67, John, Jessie, and Carrie; eight grandchildren (two of whom attended Princeton); and four great-grandchildren. The class extends sympathy to the family.
