Vaughan was born on October 27, 1851 in Mount Airy, Missouri, United States; the son of John Vaughan and Adeline (Dameron) Vaughan.
Vaughan received a Bachelor of Science degree from Mount Pleasant College in 1872. Three years later he earned his Master of Science degree and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in chemistry from the University of Michigan in 1876. Also Victor was given a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1878 from the same university.
Vaughan received an honorary degree of Doctor of Science from the Western University of Pennsylvania (nowadays University of Pittsburgh) in 1897.
In addition, he earned his Doctor of Laws degree from Central College in 1910, Jefferson Medical College in 1915 and the University of Missouri in 1923.
Vaughan began his career as an instructor in medical chemistry at the Medical School of the University of Michigan in 1875. Five years later he was appointed an assistant professor at the same school. In 1881, he started teaching a new course called "Sanitary Science", eventually renamed the "Course on Hygiene". Also in 1883, Vaughan was promoted to a professor of physiological and pathological chemistry and an associate professor of therapeutics and materia medica at the Medical School of the University of Michigan.
In 1888, he studied in Koch's laboratory in Berlin, visited the laboratories of Pettenkoffer in Munich and Pasteur and Roux in Paris, who were creating the new science of bacteriology. A year later he served as a director of the hygienic laboratory at the University of Michigan for twenty years. Then Victor became a professor of hygiene and physiological chemistry. Also he worked as a dean of the medical faculty at the Medical School of the University of Michigan from 1891 to 1921. In 1915, Vaughan served as the first editor of the Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine.
During the Spanish-American War he became a victim of yellow fever at Siboney, but upon his recovery he was assigned to duty with a Board of Medical Officers consisting of Majors Reed Vaughan and Shakespeare to investigate the prevalence of thyroid fever in the various military camps. Later in 1908, Vaughan became a member of a board to study anti-thyroid inoculation, which led to compulsory thyroid inoculation in the Army and Navy.
During the first World War, Victor was assigned to duty as a head of the communicable disease section in the Surgeon General's office. He had to do with numerous sanitary inspections of cantonments and military hospitals.
His health began to fail in 1927 compelling his withdrawal from all activities and he died at the home of his son, Warren T. Vaughan.
