Joseph Shaw (Christ's College)
- Joseph Shaw (Christ's College)
Joseph Shaw (1786 - 1859) was Master of Christ's College, Cambridge.
Born in Barton-in-Westmorland, Shaw was the son of Edward Shaw, headmaster of Loughborough Grammar School, where he received his early education.
Shaw was admitted as a Sizar at Christ's College, Cambridge in 1803, gaining a BA 1807, and an MA in 1810. He was a Fellow of the College between 1807 and 1849, when he was elected Master in succession to John Graham. However, he resigned the office before his term of grace had expired, in the conscientious feeling that his age rendered him unsuited to responsibilities of the office. James Cartmell was elected in succession. He then became a Senior Fellow from then until his death.
Shaw also served as Praelector, Tutor and Senior Dean. Shaw died at Christ's College in 1859 and was buried ante-chapel there.
