Dr. John J. Logue G’49, Swarthmore, Pa., professor emeritus of political science at Villanova University, where he taught for 30 years until his retirement in 1989; May 31. He was the founder and director of the school’s Common Heritage Institute and published extensively on United Nations reform, international relations, and laws of the sea. Before joining the faculty at Villanova, he had taught at Notre Dame and Fordham Universities. He had been a visiting lecturer at a number of universities in the U.S. and abroad, and had addressed parliamentary groups in four countries. He also wrote a play, Freedom of the Seize, which used humor, wordplay, and creativity to bring attention to timely issues, according to his son. Dr. Logue, a Democrat, ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Congress in 1966. He had unsuccessful campaigns for the U.S. Senate in 1970, 1980, 1982, and 1988. He was chair of the Penjerdel Open Space Committee in the 1960s. During World War II he served in the U.S. Army. While training with the 10th Mountain Division in Colorado, he read a book advancing the thesis that only world government can prevent war, which led to his co-founding the Philadelphia chapter of the United World Federalist, now the World Federalist Association.
