Base Hospital No.5, the Harvard Medical Unit has recently returned to this country. Organized by Dr. Harvey Cushing M.D. '95, under the direction of President Lowell, this group was the second official American Unit to leave for service abroad, sailing May '11, 1917, three days after the Lakeside Unit. Their first post was with the British at Cameras fifteen miles south of Boulogne. After six months there, during which time on Sept. 4, 1917, they were severely bombed and suffered the first casualties of the American Expeditionary Force, the entire Unit was moved to Boulogne, becoming officially known...
This hospital probably had the most interesting and varied service of any of the base hospitals abroad. The six original base hospitals, of which the Harvard Unit was one, reporting to the British, averaged about 50,000 sick and wounded admissions, the sum total of their work being greater than that of all the other American hospitals of the A.E.F. put together...
With the announcement today of the final plans for a unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, at Harvard it is more than ever evident that the A.

Military training, as it is to be re-established next fall, will be a distinct university department. Men will major in the course as they now major in history or chemistry. They will study military science and subjects allied to it in each...
...best way that we can keep the navy at its present high state of efficiency is by the maintenance of a Naval Reserve. I approve very highly of Secretary Roosevelt's plan of having naval units at various colleges, as the best means of educating more reserve officers, and I sincerely hope that such a unit will be established at Harvard next year. In order to help us get through the period of emergency, the Naval Academy at Annapolis was increased four-fold, and a great number of petty and warrant officers were commissioned. In addition to these regular navy...
Such views should be logical. To apply scientific principles to the development of the field of aeronautics is of common interest, and has a justifiable place in an up-to-date institution of learning. In view of the fact that an artillery unit is to be established here next fall, the College authorities might well recognize the growing science of aviation, which is so vitally allied with artillery, by adding a course in aeronautics to its curriculum. The aviators and aspiring aviators would gladly welcome such a course, and the government would doubtless further the enterprise by aiding with some...
