Charles Webb Le Bas
Charles Webb  Le Bas (26 April 1779 – 25 January 1861 in Brighton) was an English clergyman, fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge and principal of the East India Company College. Life
Le Bas was of a Huguenot family: his grandfather had fled to England in 1702. He was educated at Hyde Abbey School, Winchester, and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated BA (4th wrangler and winner of the chancellor's medal) in 1800, and became a fellow of Trinity in 1802. He was called to the Bar from Lincoln's Inn in 1806, but poor hearing forced him to abandon the law. After tutoring the sons of the Bishop of Lincoln, he was ordained in 1812, apparently becoming simultaneously Rector of St Paul's Church, Shadwell, Rector of Darfield, South Yorkshire, Curate of Wombwell and a prebendary of Lincoln. He became a professor of mathematics at the East India Company College at Haileybury in 1813, and was principal of the college from 1837 to 1843. Le Bas Prize
Old Haileyburians made a subscription in memory of his services there, and in 1848 endowed the Le Bas Scholarships (Bursaries) at the University of Cambridge for the best students in the study of Literature.
