PROF. MACMURRAY
LEAVES WILLAMETTE

Prof. Wallace MacaTurray Of the uni
versity faculty, has resigned, President
Doney announced this morning.
The resignation eame with somewhat
Of surprise TO the student body and
will be 20 the wide circle of friends of
the professor, for he was a general ia
vorite with the campus and Salem in
general.
It has been known for some time that
Prof. MaeMurray was greatly overload
ed with work of his department and was
laboring under severe nervous strain.
Worries over the financial failure of
the recent class room theatre movement
which he introduced TO Salem early in
November preyed on his mind as well as
did the task of coaching the junior class
thespians in a prospective play. his
position demanded much energy and en-
duranee as the time for the semester ex-
aminations approached and being I'M
able to stand the strain, he collapsed.
He left Salem last night.
To confidential friends he told sew
eral weeks ago that he was perfeeting
plan by which the remaining five
numbers of the class room theatre tick.
cts would~be adjusted satisfactorily in
the near future He even predicted that
he would pay the large debt out of his
salary, if necessary.
Coming to Willamette in December
1913, from Morningside college, Iowa
Prof, MacMurray possessed the best Of
recommendations. 1t was no other thar

literary critic, who declared that
Prof. MacMurray was one of the most
advanced and brilliant drama students
ever graduated from that institution.
During the three years of his stay at old
Willamette, he sustained his reputation,
working increasingly in the interests of
the student body and the standardiza-
tion of the department. AS lecturer
his personality soon made him popular
with the students and later he intro.
duced two public lecture courses which
were largely attended and enjoyed by a
large number of the literary folk of Sa-
lem.
Three junior class plays which were
coached by the versatile professor were
exceptionally well stged The massive
impressiveness and executive staging of
Alfred Noyes masterpiece, "Sher-
wood at the Grand last May, was the
delight of the lover Of the beautiful and
the artistic. Another product of the
rhetoric department which Prof Mac
Murray built up, was the publication of
" Boo -Craeft, a magazine of high liter
ary merit. 1t is understood that Prof
MacMurray has assembled sufficient
material for the next edition which was
to be printed this month.
When questioned as to a possible sue
cessor, DIR. George H. Alden, dean of the
liberal arts college, said that Dr. Doney
was leaving this morning for Seattle to
interview man from the University OF
Washington, who was particularly quail
fled for the needs of the department. As
Professor MaeMurray had 105 students
in one of his freshmen classes, the task
of securing a worthy successor is i'm
portant and Dr.. Doney is leaving nc
steps unturned in the needs Of the in
stitution.
