Educator
In 1857-1863, Murray was as principal of The Albany Academy in New York.

Their 1864-67 surveys established the marine boundary between New York and New Jersey, and their 1872 survey fixed the land boundary between New York and New Jersey. Murray was also responsible for the building of Rutgers' first astronomical observatory, the Daniel S. Schanck Observatory. In 1873, Murray departed Rutgers to become the educational advisor for the Japanese government. After his return, Murray served on the Rutgers College board of trustees from 1892 until his death in 1905.
In Japan, he was Superintendent of Educational Affairs in the Imperial Ministry of Education from 1873 through 1879.[3]
