TO DEDICATE SQUARE AT MEDICAL SCHOOL

Today at noon the members of Base Hospital No. 5 will dedicate the square at the corner of Pasteur and Longwood Avenues, facing the Medical School, to the memory of Oscar C. Tugo, the first American enlisted man killed in the war at the hands of the enemy. Surgeon General Ireland, M. C. U. S. A. is to deliver, an address while Governor Cox, General Caine, and Mayor A. J. Peters '95 will also be present. The committee in charge hopes that all former members of Base Hospital No. 5 who can possibly attend will do so.

After this dedication, there will be a regular meeting of the Unit at the Medical School at five o'clock. In the evening at Beacon Hall, Coolidge Corner, there will be a reunion of members of the Unit consisting of a dinner at 6.30 o'clock and a dance at 8 o'clock.

At the beginning of the war Dr. Harvey Cushing who has been closely connected with the Medical School for many years organized Base Hospital No. 5, a unit composed of Harvard men. Very soon after the United States declared war the hospital was established at Dannes only a few miles behind the front line trenches. Private Tugo was killed the night of September 4, 1917, when a Gotha swept over the area and dropped seven bombs, five of which were direct hits on the hospital compound.
