The Whitney H. Shepardson Fellowship was established in 1961, and renamed in 1967 to honor one of the founders of the Council, who served on the Board of Directors from 1921 until his death in 1966. This senior-level fellowship is periodically awarded to a person with experience and recognized professional stature in public or academic affairs related to the study of international relations.
Whitney Shepardson was an international business executive, editor, and author whose strong interest in international affairs began when he attended the Versailles peace conference in 1919. He returned to New York and helped found the Council on Foreign Relations in 1921. From 1934 to 1940, he was the principal editor of The United States in World Affairs, the Council’s annual review of world events. During World War II, Mr. Shepardson headed the Secret Intelligence unit of the Office of Strategic Services (which became the CIA). From 1953 to 1956, he served as president of the Free Europe Committee, operator of Radio Free Europe.
