Tugomir Marko Alaupović
He wrote several literary works that have been translated into French, German, Czech, and Italian.[3] He was one of the initiators of the Croatian Society for the "Setting up of Children in Crafts and Trade" in Sarajevo and later initiated the change of the society name to Napredak. He was a member of the Main Board of the Serbian St. Sava Society in Belgrade. On 16 January 1934, after a serious operation, in a letter to Tihomir Đorđević, a prominent Serbian ethnologist, he said:
Unfortunately, my hopes have not been fulfilled and I will have to stay long or maybe even definitely in Zagreb. It hurts and I'm sorry that for these reasons, I have to resign as a member of the Main Board of the St. Sava Society. But rest assured that for the rest of my life, I will remain faithful to that beautiful and noble saying: "Everyone is my dear brother be he any religion".[4]
