R. L. A. BU DAHN, in his own words, is quite a gamesterf' During his career he has entered almost all fields of sport, in- cluding baseball, football, basketball, handball, and lastly, golf, in which he is intensely interested. Hunting, fishing, and automobiling Cparticularly night drivingj are also included in his pleasures. An exceptionally keen interest in chess enabled llr. Bu Dahn to claim the distinction of not only play- ing, but defeating the champion of Nlinnesota. Due to the pressure of his work, Nlr. Bu Dahn's reading is confined largely to philosophy and psy- chology, although he enjoys reading fiction of the highest type. ln his opinion, legitimate stage pro- ductions are far more interesting than the motion pictures. He enjoys public speaking, but would rather avoid the attendant publicity. Our Super- intendent is a great home lover and due to the uncertain nature of his work he doubly appreciates every hour he spends at home. f fu-, L V: pci, SUPERINTENDENT L. A. BU DAHN R.
