Francis Van Lund Dusen ’34

FRANK VAN DUSEN, former Class secretary and president and Outstanding Achievement Award winner, died May 26, 1993, after a long illness. He was, in the words of a colleague, "a great and overt supporter of Princeton Univ. When Frank is cut, I am told he bleeds orange and black."

Frank retired in 1990 as federal judge for the Third Circuit (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Virgin Islands), after 35 years on the federal bench, first as a trial judge and then as an appellate judge. President Eisenhower appointed him to the U.S. Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in 1955, and President Johnson appointed him to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in 1967.

In WWII, he served as a Naval Intelligence officer and won Bronze Stars from both the Navy and the Air Force,

Surviving are Frank's widow, Margie (ne6 Brooks), the widow of our classmate Dan Goodenough, who died in 1974; two sons, Frank Jr. '72 and Clinton '76; two daughters, Rhe Jain and Muriel Berkeley; eight grandchildren; his brother Lewis H. '32; and a sister, Alverta Lewis. To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
