Overview and metadata sections

Shea, Christian Bernard

Christian Bernard Shea was a member of the Princeton Class of 1916. While a student he was an active member of the crew team, and after graduation he remained an enthusiastic supporter of Princeton athletics, as well as a member of the Graduate Council. Shea died in 1961, and in 1998 a new rowing center was constructed in his name.

This collection consists of Princeton University athletics statistics and newspaper clippings compiled by C. Bernard Shea between 1901 and 1960. A number of sports are represented; however, the bulk of the materials relate to football. Also included is a copy of Intercollegiate Football, A Complete Pictorial and Statistical Review 1869-1934 edited by Christy Walsh.

Container list created by Eleanor Wright '14 in January 2012 and finding aid updated by Christie Peterson in February 2012.

A copy of the book "Athletics at Princeton: A History" edited by Frank Presbrey and James Hugh Moffat was removed as it is available elsewhere.
