He received his BA from McGill in 1908, with first class honours in mathematics and physics and a scholarship in chemistry and physics. He was awarded the R. O. King research fellowship and obtained his master's degree in 1910, with the Governor-General's medal for research.

Duringing World War I he was second-in-command of the McGill COTC and also took part in the war research with Dr. L. V. King.

He succeeded Dean A.S. Eve as chairman of the department. In 1952 he retired after 46 years association with the University. In presenting him for an honorary doctorate, Prof. J. S. Foster, who succeeded him as physics chairman, said that Professor Shaw was "a McGill man whose whole life as scholar, teacher and administrator has demonstrated deep affection for the University".Widely read, Professor Shaw was at home in literature and philosophy as well as the sciences.
