Wikipedia writes:
Frederick James Murphy (February 4, 1886 – December 19, 1956)[1] was an American football, basketball and baseball player and coach and college athletics administrator. Murphy served as the head football coach at Northwestern University   (1914–1918), University of Denver, (1920–1922), and University of Kentucky (1924–1926), compiling a career football coaching record of 40–37–4. He was also the head basketball coach at Manhattan College  (1912–1913) and at Northwestern (1914–1917), and the head baseball coach at Northwestern (1914–1916) and Kentucky (1925–1926). In addition, Murphy served as Northwestern's athletic director  from 1913 to 1918.

Mabel Mason represented Northwestern in 1917 in the Northern Oratorical League contest at the University of Illinois. She had the distinction of being the first woman to win the contest and the only person who has ever succeeded in capturing four out of the possible five votes for first place. See page 107.  She was also a commencement speaker.

Herbert John Taylor (1893-1978), business executive, and civic leader, was born in Pickford, Michigan, on April 18, 1893. Educated at Northwestern University (Chicago), Taylor began his business career as a salesman in Oklahoma. In 1917, when the United States entered World War I, Taylor was already in France, working with the YMCA. He enlisted in the navy and spent most of his tour at the naval base in Brest, in charge of distributing food and clothing to American naval forces in French waters.  In 1924 he returned to Chicago and in nine years advanced from home office manager to executive vice president of the Jewel Tea Company. But in 1933 Taylor resigned from Jewel to become president of Club Aluminum Products, a company he salvaged from near bankruptcy and converted to a multi-million dollar operation.

His civic activities included vice-chairmanship of the Price Adjustment Board of the War Department during World War II; the presidency of Rotary International, 1954-55; directorship positions for the First National Bank of Barrington (Illinois) and the Chicago Federal Savings and Loan Association; and membership on the Board of Governors of the Illinois Crippled Children Society, 1941-42. He lived in Park Ridge, Illinois. Herbert Taylor died in 1978.
