Bio/Historical Note: Christina Cameron Murray, eldest daughter of the University of Saskatchewan's first President, Walter Charles Murray, and Christina Cameron Murray, was born in 1896 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She earned a BA from the University of Saskatchewan in 1917 and graduated from Montreal's Royal Victoria School of Nursing in 1924. In 1930 Christina returned to Canada to become an instructor at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. In 1934-1935 she completed a course in hospital administration and instruction from the Bedford College for Women at the University of London. Christina held a number of teaching positions during her career: University of Wisconsin (1925-1930); Ottawa Civic Hospital (1930-1934); and Royal Jubilee Hospital School of Nursing in Vancouver (1934-1938). Christina was active in district, state, and national nursing organizations in the United States and at the time of her death was chairman of the membership committee of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Nursing. Christina earned the rank of full professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Nursing where she worked from 1938 until her death in Madison in 1948 at age 51. The School of Nursing Alumnae designated a memorial reading room in the library in honour of Christina. ‘Murray House’ in Chadbourne Hall is also named after her.
