Career highlights and awards

William John Logan (August 2, 1891 — August 29, 1977) was an American football player and banker. Logan was raised in Brooklyn, New York,[1] and attended Princeton University. He played college football for the Princeton Tigers and was a consensus first-team selection on the 1912 College Football All-America Team.[2] He graduated from Princeton as part of the Class of 1913.[3]

Logan later became a banker who served as senior vice president of Central Hanover Bank & Trust, a director of the War Production Board during World War II and director-general of the Allied Joint Export Import Agency in post-war Germany.[4][5][6] He received the U.S. Army's Exceptional Civilian Service Award for his post-war efforts in laying the foundation for export programs in Germany and Japan that "sharply reduced their requirements for American assistance and materially increased their capacities for self support."[6]

In July 1946, his wife was murdered, and the ensuing trial drew extensive coverage in the New York press.[7][8][9][10]

In his later years, Logan lived in Middleburg, Virginia.[4] He died there in 1977, aged 86.
