of salary if the individual's total income, excludin g

research and travel expenses, would be in excess of hi s

"Dr . S .S . Murray "

Theml,.,. inieiflueiS of Senate of the Universit y-F +1,T

o fi

British Columbia have noted with sincere regre t

the passing of Dr . Stewart Murray .

Throughout the years, Dr . Murray made a

most valuable contribution to the work of th e

University, particularly in the broad field o f

Public Health .

He always showed a keen interes t

in the training of medical students, and in thi s

connection he was most co-operative in making the

facilities of the Metropolitan Health Committe e

available for teaching purposes .

Perhaps his greatest contribution was hi s

constant willingness always to give more o f

himself and his time than was asked .

His warm

personality, his sunny disposition, his kee n

r

interest in the affairs of the University and hi s

excellent personal relationships with the member s

of the Faculty of Medicine, made him a mos t

respected colleague .
