Hugh Hamilton Wilson ’50

HUGH WILSON died April 26, 1990. After a teaching career in English, which had taken him from the Univ. of Wisconsin, to Rutgers, to Wagner College on State Island, he had recently lived in Sherman, Conn. Before getting his Ph.D. at Wisconsin in the mid1950s Hugh worked for PrenticeHall and McGrawHill in N.Y.

While Hugh started with us in 1946 from Newman High School in New Orleans, he graduated in 1951 due to a year in the Navy. He was a member of Tower Club and was active in Triangle and Theatre Intime. The '50 NASSAU HERALD listed his future as an actor, but teaching students seemed to provide a good substitute where he could put his wit and stage presence to good use.

The Class extends its sympathy to his widow, Phyllis.
