Biographical Note
District Attorney of New York County, 1942-1974. (Columbia B.A., 1924; LL.B., 1928, LL.D., 1952).
Born in Waterbury, CT in 1902, Frank S. Hogan entered Columbia College in 1920. He played halfback on the varsity football team, was an editor of the yearbook, the Columbian, and held class offices, including president of the Senior Class. He received a BA in 1924 and graduated from the Columbia Law School in 1928. He also received an honorary degree in 1952 and served as a University Trustee from 1959 to 1974.
Hogan was the District Attorney for New York County for 32 years. As a DA, Hogan oversaw the conviction of comedian Lenny Bruce for obscenities in 1964, the prosecution of hundreds of Columbia student demonstrators in 1968, and the charges of conspiracy against the "Panther 21" in 1969. The District Attorney also received the Medal of Merit of the New York County Grand Jury Association in 1947, and the gold medal of the American Irish Historical Society in 1952. He was the Democratic nominee for the US Senate in 1958.
For his services to the University, Hogan was awarded the Columbia University Medal for Exceptional Public Service in 1942, the Alumni Medal for Conspicuous Columbia Alumni Service in 1946 and the Alexander Hamilton Medal of the Alumni of Columbia College in 1954. In 1951, Hogan was awarded the medal of the St. Nicholas Society. Hogan was president of the Association of the Alumni of Columbia College from 1946 to 1949 and president of the Columbia University Alumni Federation from 1949 until 1951, and in 1955 he headed the Columbia College Fund. In 1961-1962 he served as chairman of the Columbia College Council. In 1970 he received the Medal for Excellence of the Columbia Law School Alumni Association. In 1975 the Frank Smithwick Hogan University Scholarships were established to aid Columbia College prelaw students who have achieved academic and athletic distinction, and School of Law students who had distinguished undergraduate careers at the College. In 1977, a student residence hall (former St. Luke's Nursing Home) was named in his honor, Hogan Hall.
