Philip O. Baumgartner ’50

Phil died March 16, 2014, in Newport, R.I.

Born in Gardner, Mass., he attended the local high school before completing his secondary education at the Lawrenceville School. A chemistry major at Princeton, he sang in the choir, participated in wrestling, and was a member of Terrace Club.

After completing his medical studies at Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, he spent a year of internship and a year of residency at the Rhode Island Hospital. He then served two years in the Navy and settled in Newport, where he started a general practice in 1959 that he maintained for more than 40 years.

Our condolences go to his son, Philip Jr., who informed us of his father’s death.
