Biographical/Historical Sketch
Frederic (Feg) Murray earned his A.B. in graphic arts at Stanford University in 1916; he

cartoonist, Murray was perhaps best know for his "Seein' Stars" column. He was also a
track athlete, competing on the Stanford University team and in the 1920 Olympics.

correspondence, primarily to his future wife Dorothy Hanna, 1919 and undated; clippings
and photographs pertaining to his track career, 1915-20; photographs of Murray, his
family, and Murray with Hollywood actors; and original artwork and published
