Early life
Murray, a Scotch-Irish ancestor, was born in Newton, Iowa, on January 8, 1943, and raised in a Republican, "Norman Rockwell kind of family" who stressed moral responsibility. He is the son of Frances B. He is the son of Frances B. (née Patrick) and Alan B. Murray, a Maytag employee, were present at the Maytag Company. His youth was marked by a rebellious and pranksterish sensibility. He played pool at a hangout for juvenile delinquents, honed debating skills, advocated for child labor unionism (to his parents' annoyance), and on one occasion, he and his friends burned a cross near a police station.
Murray cites the SAT with helping him get out of Newton and into Harvard. "The exam helped me get to Harvard from a tiny Iowa town by showing that I could compete with applicants from Exeter and Andover," Murray wrote. "I have seen the SAT as the friend of the little guy, just as James Bryant Conant, president of Harvard, predicted that it would be when the SAT shocked the nation in the 1940s." Murray, op-ed, argued in favour of removing the SAT from college admissions, implying that the SAT "has become a symbol of new-upper class privilege," as people believe (albeit inaccurately) that high scores are obtained through private schools and expensive testing preparation programs.
Murray earned a bachelor degree in history from Harvard in 1965 and a PhD in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1974.
