1961 — The Digest of Chiropractic Economics publishes an obituary for Vinton F. Logan, DC, who passed away on July 9, 1961 at age 55.

Dr. Vinton F. Logan

Son of the founder of Logan Basic College of Chiropractic (Hugh B. Logan, DC) and president of the institution since his father’s demise in 1944, Dr. Vinton was a well-known and much admired speaker on the chiropractic lecture circuit. A graduate of the Universal Chiropractic College in Pittsburgh in September 1927, he practiced with his father in Los Angeles prior to the introduction of Basic Technique and served on the faculty and the board of directors of the College of Chiropractic Physicians & Surgeons (today’s LACC).

In 1935 he assisted his father in establishing the chiropractic school that bore their family name.

Dr. Vinton Logan was a member of the International Chiropractors’ Association’s Board of Control, and a co-founder and board member of the North American Association of Chiropractic Schools and Colleges, an agency that opposed the accrediting activities of the National Chiropractic Association. In these capacities Logan had worked closely with Drs. B.J. Palmer and Carl S. Cleveland, Sr., and stood in opposition to the efforts of NCA Director of Education John J. Nugent, DC.

Gregarious and charismatic, he is recalled as a spell-binding public speaker and defender of the profession. His first wife, Peggy, a cousin, Arthur Nickson, and his son, Brian, were graduates of Logan College. Logan was succeeded as president of the College by William N. Coggins, DC, a 1940 Logan graduate.
