Victor Wesley Logan ’23

THE CLASS of 1923 lost another distinguished member when Vic died Nov. 26, 1990, at Hilton Head, S.C., where he had been living since his retirement from the faculty of the Univ. of Rochester. Victor was born Aug. 24, 1901, in Bethany, Ill. He had also lived in Florida Georgia, and China, where his father was a medical missionary connected with the Presbyterian Hospital, Changteh, Hunan, China. Victor prepared for Princeton at Clearwater High School in Florida and China Inland Mission Boys School, Chefoo, China, where he was valedictorian of his Class. On our campus he won general honors every year, played soccer, belonged to Life Saving, Polity, Medical, Whig, and Gateway Clubs. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa. Victor earned his M.D. at Cornell Medical College in 1927 and served as an intern at the N.Y. Hospital, and also served the Roosevelt Hospital. He became in instructor in clinical medicine at Genesee Hospital. In 1972 he was honored with the title of master of the American College of Physicians. He was a captain in the U.S. Navy in WWII, 194246.

In 1928 Martha Skinner became his bride for 53 years, before her death in 1981. There are two daughters: Polly (Mrs. Peter Taussig) and Martha (Mrs. Milton Bicknell) and three sons, Van Norden, Joseph, and Jonathan. A brother, Tracy, is a member of the Class of 1929. There are 20 grandchildren and 13 greatgrandchildren in the Logan family.

Victor's classmates share both in the loss of a distinguished graduate of Princeton and pride in a brilliantly successful life.
