About the donor
This scholarship is made possible by the John F. Murray Fund, established in 1945 following the death of his wife, Bessie Dutton Murray. In her will, Bessie left a $150,000 gift to the University of Iowa to fund scholarships and lectures in the fields of business administration, journalism, and law, in memory of her husband.
Early in his career, John was appointed to the advertising staff of the Wrigley Chewing Gum Company, where he coined the highly successful trade name "Juicy Fruit." Later, he established his own advertising agency in New York and, in 1909, created the Murray Newspaper Service and the Murray Syndicate Cut Service. He also founded the Wyeth Chemical Company, which ultimately absorbed several drug companies and became the American Home Products Corporation—one of the largest firms in its field.
