DescriptionDavid Murray was born in Bovina, New York, in October 1830. He went to Union College of New York and graduated in 1849. He became a professor at Rutgers College in 1857 teaching mathematics, philosophy and astronomy. He played an instrumental role in Rutgers being declared a land grant college and built the science curriculum at Rutgers. During his time at Rutgers he offered support to the students from Japan. Murray and his wife, Martha Murray welcomed the students into their home and treated them as family. With support from the Japanese students who studied at Rutgers such as Hatakeyama Yoshinari (畠山義成; also known as Soogiwoora Kozo, 杉浦弘蔵), Murray became a government adviser for the Meiji government. He served as the Superintendent of Educational Affairs from 1873 to 1879. Upon his return to New Jersey, he became a trustee of Rutgers College, published a series of books titled Japan, and wrote the History of Education in New Jersey (1899). He passed away on March 6, 1905 and is buried at Elmwood Cemetery in New Brunswick.
