William Savage (died 1736) was an English academic.[1]
He was born in Ickleford and entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1686, graduating B.A in 1690, M.A. in 1693, and D.D. in 1717.[2] He was Fellow of Emmanuel from 1692 to 1702; and Rector of St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe from 1703. He also held the livings of Gravesend and Stone, Kent. He was Master of Emmanuel from 1719 until his death in 1736.[3] He was Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge from 1724 to 1725.[4] He was probably a relation of the writer John Savage.[5]
