Professor James Murray

Obituary of Professor James Murray, former vice-principal of Napier College; born 25 July, 1930, in Glasgow, died: 10 October, 2008, in Switzerland, aged 78.

Professor James Murray was one of the most far-sighted and distinguished educationists in post-war Scotland. He was vice-principal of Napier College from 1992 – the year it gained university status – until his retirement in 1995 and is now recognised as a major force in higher education nationally.

He had been a church elder since 1957 – the 50th anniversary marked last year at his church at Colinton Parish.
