THREE HOSPITAL UNITS FORMED

Medical School Organization Likely to be Taken Over by U. S. Army.

Students and graduates of the Medical School have formed three hospital units under the Red Cross, to be taken over by the army in case of need. These units are established at the Massachusetts General Hospital, the Boston City Hospital, and the Medical School, and are known as Base Hospitals Nos. 5, 6 and 7. In the Medical School Unit are enrolled 33 second-year medical students, 20 from the third year and two from the fourth year. Dr. Harvey Cushing, M.D. '95, Moseley Professor of Surgery, is in charge of the unit.

The Faculty of the Medical School is also assisting in the work of the Auxiliary Medical Committee for National Defence of Boston. This committee is helping to secure recruits for the various branches of medical service in the United States Army and in the reserve medical corps in both the army and navy.
