Shellman, William F. (William Feay), 1916-1987

William F. Shellman was a member of the Dept. of Architecture faculty at Princeton University faculty forty years (1946-1986). He taught introductory courses in architecture and the visual arts and courses designed to heighten architectural students' visual sensitivity. He also taught a graduate course on landscape architecture.

In addition, there are photographs of Egypt taken by George E. Kedder-Smith in 1938 which Shellman used in Architecture 302 and a small collection of abstract paintings called "Feay's Watercolors."
