Joseph Thomas Kingsbury (November 4, 1853 – April 10, 1937) was Acting President of the University of Deseret, now known as the University of Utah, from 1892 to 1894.[1] In 1894 he was replaced by James E. Talmage, and then in 1897, was appointed President of the university.[2][1] He held that position until he resigned because of a campus controversy in 1916.[1] In spite of his resignation, Kingsbury's combined service as president of the university was longer than any other since.
