NEW UNITS SAIL THIS MONTH

GROUPS OF UNIVERSITY DOCTORS GOING TO ENGLAND AND SERVIA.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The formation of a surgical unit for one of the English field hospitals, which was begun a month ago at the request of Sir William Osler of Oxford, England, and which will be made up almost exclusively of Harvard surgeons, has been completed, and the party will sail from New York on June 22. There will be 34 men in the unit with Dr. E. H. Nichols '86 in charge. Dr. R. I. Lee '02, Professor of Hygiene in the University, will be one of the leaders of the group. The location of the hospital to which they will be assigned, has not been divulged, but it will probably be in England.

More Men for Servia.

At the request of the Servian government, a second larger group of sanitary engineers and physicians has been formed from the medical schools of the leading universities, for the purpose of strengthening the fight against the typhus and cholera which is prevalent there. They will, like the party which sailed last month, work under the direction of Professor Richard P. Strong, of the Medical School. Six men from the University Medical School are in the group: H. A. Bunker, Jr., 4M.; D. C. Hankey 4M.; J. H. McGuire 4M.; W. C. Sheffield 1M.; Dr. J. J. Stack M.D. '10; and C. B. Spruit 4M. The party will sail from New York next week, and should join their colleagues in Servia early in July. The party which sailed last month has not been heard from yet.
