PEOPLE FROM SOUTH

and it has taken this visit to fix
firmly in our minds that it is the best
part of Idaho, and that Moscow is
merely an incident, necessary, per-
haps, because it has become a part
of this great educational institution.
There is no one in attendance at the
meetings this week who comes a
greater distance than l for the plea
sure of meeting old friends and MAX
new ones active in the various
branches of Odd Fellowship, the open
doors at the University has made our
visit extremely pleasant and we'll re-
pays for the expense of the trip.
''In the south we are proud of the
boys and girls who have come out of
our university but never have we been
able to feel our responsibilities toward
the university as we now do. Even
our high regard for President Upham,
who visits us quite frequently he was
with us last Friday, has not drawn us
as has the reception and courtesies
shown this week which have enabled
us to realize more fully our res
toward the institution
which is turning out the future cit
liens and governing bodies of the
state and municipalities.

Praises Harold Dana

The San Francisco Call, in very
recent article has great praise for
Harold Dana, who was recently Sc
lected by Titta Ruffo as possessing
the best baritone voice out of group
of singers from all over the Pacific

musical career occurred one day
when he was still a youth at his
fathers orange groves near Redlands.
Cal. He was happily singing while
working in the heart of the orange
grove. when like a fairy godmother.
Ceorgianna Strauss of the eMtropoli
tan Opera company, who was winter
ing in this vicinity, happened by and
heard his voice. She sought him out
and gave him his first lessons. He
studied with her for some time.
Mr.. Dana came to San Francisco in
1916. and has been studying with
Mackenzie Gordon ever since. In one
years time he expects to complete
his studies here and will go to Eu-
rope, where he will follow Ruffo's
advice and learn the Italian language
along with his operate work.
Mr.. Dana is the son of the late
George w. Dana and Lucy CF'ollett)
Dana, long residents of this city.
About 80 years ago they moved to
Redlands. Cal. where Mr.. Dana was
very successful in the raising Of
oranges. About nine years ago Mr..
Dana died and his widow is now liv-
ing with her son Harold in San
