Birthplace--Blue Hill, Nebraska, July 17, 1902.  Began piano lessons when I was seven.  In 1914 went to Pasadena, California and lived at the ranch and orange grove of my uncle.  Graduated from South Pasadena High School in 1920.  After the first few years of the organ, studied four years with P. Shaul Hallett, then dean of the Southern California branch of the American Guild of Organists.

Played in Pasadena and Los Angeles and was organist of the First Christian Church of Pasadena three years before coming to the Institute three years ago--have been here since and hope to be here next year too.
