Announcement has been made by Eliot Norton '85 from the New York office of the Ambulance Corps that the anonymous donor who has offered to provide all the money necessary to run two full sections, the estimated cost for which will be at least $250,000, is Robert Walton Goelet '02, of New York City. The two sections will contain 40 men each, and will sail for Europe as soon as possible. One condition only was made by Mr. Goelet, that the full number of 80 men be obtained in order to make the organization of the two sections...

It is absolutely essential, therefore, that 80 volunteers be secured immediately, in order to assure the sailing within a month. Recruiting is now being initiated throughout various other colleges...
...term of enlistment for the two new sections will be for six months, with a ten-day vacation. Work on the enlisting of members of the University for the corps will start at once, as the project will fail unless the full quota of 80 men be obtained. The Norton-Harjes Ambulance Corps will have entire charge of the enterprise, the donor supplying all necessary funds to make it a complete success. Except for the sum of $100 for personal use, all expenses except transportation will be paid, and this latter cost will be borne by the donor...
