PANAMA-CALIFORNIA EXPOSITION COMMISSION
RUSSELL C. ALLEN, of San Diego, was born in Boston on January 27, 1859. He lived 
in Cambridge for some time, graduating from Harvard in 1880, then attended 
Columbia Law School, and was in a law office in Wall Street, New York, until 
1882, when he decided that he wanted to live an outdoor life. He went to San 
Diego, California, and bought a fruit ranch in Sweetwater Valley, several miles 
from the city. He is now chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the 
San Diego Exposition.
