quotations could be telegraphed simultaneously. A Southern sympathizer during the Civil War, he was imprisoned by
the U.S. government and paroled in 1864. He served as vice president of the New York Gold Exchange.Dr. Dale, the subject of the portrait, is a graduate of Harvard who established the School of Business Administration at the University of Idaho. He was then invited by the Miami University president in 1928 to organize a similar school there, with a strong emphasis on the liberal arts. Nine years later Dr. Dale resigned to become the eighth president of the University of Idaho. He later retired and came with his wife Beulah to live in Santa Barbara.
