President Lowell has received a request from Sir William Osler, of Oxford, England, who lectured here in 1913, asking that the University send another unit of surgeons to serve in an English government field hospital in either England or France. Dean E. H. Bradford, of the Medical School, to whom the matter was referred, has acceded to the request, and has set June as the earliest date for departure.
Such an undertaking will prove much larger than the dispatch of the first Harvard unit in March for three months' service in the American Hospital at Paris. The new detachment will require 24 instead of 12 surgeons, and will have charge of 1050 instead of 450 beds. Whereas the French unit is attached to a private American institution, the English corps will serve in a government hospital, since there is no American organization in England.
