Philip T. Zabriskie ’50

One of our true class scholars died Dec. 25, 2005, in his New York home.

Phil Zabriskie, a son of '20, came to Princeton from Groton. He graduated with highest honors in history, having distinguished himself as class officer, chapel deacon, baseball player, Ivy Club and Phi Beta Kappa member, and salutatorian. All this culminated with Phil winning a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford.

After completing studies at Virginia Theological Seminary in 1954, he held offices in the National Episcopal Church and received a doctor of divinity degree from Kenyon College. In 1968 he went to Zurich to study psychoanalysis at the C.G. Jung Institute. He then moved to New York City with his wife, Beverley, to pursue his second career.

Phil was board president of the Jung Foundation, president of the New York Jung Institute, and a founding member of the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association. He served on boards of the Manhattan Country School and Yorkville Common Pantry.

Phil was an inspiring orator, writer, and teacher. His life was marked by integrity, curiosity, and adventure in exploring the world around him and within.

We share this great loss with Beverley; his daughter, Alexandra '93; his son, Philip Gray '94; his sister, Mary; and brothers George '50 and Alexander '52.
