William Charles Salter (25 June 1824 – 1 August 1889) was a Church of England clergyman, Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, and the last Principal of St Alban Hall.
[1] He was admitted to membership of Balliol College in 1842, aged eighteen, and became a Blundell Scholar, graduating BA in 1846 and proceeding to MA in 1851.
[2] His life as a college fellow had required celibacy, and in 1862 at Bloxworth, Dorset, Salter married Emma Louisa Augusta Pickard-Cambridge, a younger sister of Octavius Pickard-Cambridge.
They had two sons, William (1863–1948) and Henry Stuart Salter (1864–1939).
When he resigned as Principal of St Alban Hall in 1882, the hall was extinguished and merged into Merton College, Oxford, which then demolished its buildings.
