Wikipedia, November 28, 3017 (Victor Lange (13 July 1908-29 June 1996) was a renowned Germanist, known primarily for his work at Princeton University. Born in Leipzig, Germany, he obtained his M.A. degree from the University College of the University of Toronto in 1931, and his Ph.D. from the University of Leipzig in 1934 with a dissertation entitled "Die lyrische Anthologie im England des 18. Jahrhunderts (1670-1780)." He taught at Toronto in the 1930s and, from 1938 onwards, at Cornell University. He moved to Princeton University in 1957, where he was the founding chairman of both the German Department and the Department of Comparative Literature; he remained at Princeton until his retirement in 1977. He died of heart failure on 29 June 1996 in Princeton, New Jersey at the age of 87)
