History
William Murray Duncan was an apprentice designer when he started taking evening classes in design at The Glasgow School of Art.
This was in 1911-12, when he was living in University Avenue, in Hillhead in Glasgow. He returned the following year to continue the classes and his occupation was described as apprentice textile designer.
He then did not attend again until 1916-17, when he was described as a textile designer and was now living in Dunearn Street. During that year, and the next (1917-18), he did evening classes in Painting and Drawing. The next year he attended – to do the same classes - was 1919-20 and then he returned again in 1922-23.
There is some slight confusion about his age. The majority of the student registers list his date of birth as 7 March 1895, though in one year it is recorded as 3 March 1895.
