Shaw In a tribute to the late John Alexander Magill Shaw W. WOODSIDE writes: John Shaw graduated in pharmacy from Queen’s University, Belfast, and after completing a master’s degree moved to Scotland to take up a lectureship at the Royal College of Science and Technology, Glasgow. While there, he graduated PhD from Glasgow University. In 1961 he was appointed head of the department of pharmacy at the Belfast College of Technology. In 1967 he moved to Canada to become professor of pharmacy at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, a post he held until retirement in 1992.

Professor Shaw was an accomplished teacher and won several awards, including the University of Manitoba’s Olive Beatrice Stanton award for excellence in teaching. He is survived by his wife Ona, daughter Fiona, and sons Alan and Andrew. Deepest sympathy is extended to Ona and the family.
