Base Hospital Ready For Service

Dr. Harvey Cushing M. '85 is preparing his base hospital unit at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital for service abroad, under orders from the War Department. The unit, together with three others drawn from various parts of the country, will probably leave the United States within a week if it can be got ready in such a short time.

The personnel of the base hospital has not been announced, but if will consist of 23 officers, 65 nurses, 150 enlisted attendants, a chaplain, and four stenographers. The organization is recruited largely from the Medical School. A mobilization was to have been held on Boston Common, but the call for service in Europe has caused all other plans to be given up.
