Biography
Victor A. Hilarov (1889-1974) was an electrical engineer and an alumnus of Syracuse University. He was born in Kishinev, Russia (now Chișinău, Moldova), and emigrated to the United States in 1923. While he was a student at Syracuse University, he was a member of the engineering honorary society Tau Beta Pi, the mathematics honorary society Pi Beta Mu, the Liberal Club and the Cosmopolitan Club, a social organization that promoted dialogue and fellowship between domestic and international students. Hilarov graduated with his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Syracuse University’s College of Applied Science in 1927. After graduating, he went on to work for the New York Edison Company and the General Electric X-Ray Corporation.
