  • William Belton Murrah: President of Millsaps College and Southern Bishop in America’S Progressive Era
    Methodist History, 45:4 (July 2007) WILLIAM Belton MURRAH: PRESIDENT OF MILLSAPS COLLEGE AND SOUTHERN BISHOP IN AMERICA’S PROGRESSIVE ERA GERALD F. VAUGHN We live in an auspicious era! We live on a grand continent! In the mighty impulse that throbs in every department of human enterprise we may see the prophecy of more brilliant achievements than the past has ever yet recorded. But this prophecy is to have its fulfillment only when a thoroughly equipped scholarship shall come to the front and assert its right and power to lead in all great movements. W. B. Murrah, Inaugural Address, President, Millsaps College, 1892-1910 William Belton Murrah (1851-1925), one of the most distinguished Methodist educators and bishops in the South during America’s Progressive Era (roughly between 1890 and 1920), was an organizer and administrator rather than theologian. His life and ministry were dedicated to the growth of southern Methodism and he applied his organizational and administra- tive skills wherever needed most. So keen was his interest in higher educa- tion and so acute were his organizational and administrative skills, that he advanced the cause of Methodist higher education in the South more than anyone before him. Murrah was born in Pickensville, Alabama, to the Rev. Dr. William and Mary Susan (Cureton) Murrah. He graduated in 1874 from Southern University, then one of the finest institutions in the South, where he stud- ied not only arts and science, but also law and was a charter member of Southern’s first fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha. Alfred F. Smith, familiar with Southern’s reputation, wrote, “Throughout his student years he was receiv- ing not only the intellectual enlargement which comes from a study of the classics, philosophy, history, and all that goes to the enlargement of the mind, but sitting under the inspiration of the mightiest men in the denomination, he was also imbibing the spirit of the Church.”2 Among those scholars were Allen S.
