8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
Major-General Leonard Wood, M.D.'83, Chief-of-Staff of the United States Army, will lecture in the Union under the auspices of the University next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. General Wood, whose talk last year on army affairs and the insufficiency of our military organization will be remembered, will discuss American military policies and student camps.
General Wood has had long service in the army. After receiving degrees from Harvard, Williams, and the University of Pennsylvania he was appointed assistant surgeon of the United States Army from the state of Massachusetts. He served in the Spanish-American War, first as a Colonel of the "Rough Riders," later as Major-General. In 1901 he was honorably discharged from voluntary service. In 1910 he was sent as ambassador to the Argentine Republic, and in the same year became Chief-of-Staff of the United States Army.
