Overview
Richard W. Murray (class of 1952, Hamilton College) was a physician who went on to serve as a Hamilton alumni representative. He is identified in the catalogs as “Dr. R. Richard Murray ‘52” and held a position as secretary or representative of a Hamilton alumni chapter in the Ithaca, New York area during the late 1960s.
Relevance to Research
The May 1952 Spectator lists “Richard Murray” among Hamilton seniors accepted to medical school (Syracuse University Medical School), in a group announced by Dean Winton Tolles. The 1967–68 catalog lists him as “Sec.: Dr. R. Richard Murray ‘52, 528 Warren Rd., Ithaca, N.Y. 14850” in the alumni organizations section. The 1968–69 and 1969–70 catalogs repeat this listing with the same role and address.
Notes
His full name as used professionally was “R. Richard Murray” (initials R. Richard, surname Murray); “Richard W. Murray” is the form given in external sources. The Spectator 1952 reference uses “Richard Murray” without middle initial. All references are consistent with a single individual from the class of 1952 who became a physician in Ithaca.
