Anthony Graham Shanley ’50

Coming to Princeton from Canterbury School, Doc threw himself into work on The Daily Princetonian and by sophomore year became managing editor. He graduated with honors from the Woodrow Wilson School, belonged to Colonial, and was class historian.

Doc was working at The Vindicator in Youngstown (Ohio) when the Associated Press in New York beckoned and he became the youngest editor on its general desk. After three intense years with the AP, he moved to Paris.

Several years later he took a public-relations job with Lockheed Aircraft in Switzerland. However, in 1957, spurred by his interest in international affairs, he started a 33-year career with the United Nations in Geneva that focused on refugee and trade issues.

In 1970 he helped found the Princeton Club of Switzerland and later served as its president. He also established a School of Architecture prize in memory of his father, Joseph Sanford Shanley ’17, a distinguished architect.

Doc retired to his Spanish villa. There he used his journalistic skills to make the magazine of Costa del Sol’s American Club a first-rate monthly.

Our condolences go to his sons, Joe and Wilkin; his stepdaughter, Nicole; three grandchildren; and his sister, Elaine Jocelyn.
