Dean of Syrian Institution to Speak at University Medical School

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At 5 o'clock this afternoon Dr. Edwin St. John Ward, F. A. C. S., will address the Medical School in the amphitheatre of Building D. The Subject of his lecture will be his experiences during the World War.

At the Dardanelles campaign early in 1915 he organized the American Red Cross in Constantinople, and later in the same year organized a group of American and native doctors which accompanied the Turkish army in its attack on the Suez Canal. In 1917 he served as Lieutenant Colonel of the Red Cross in France until he became attached to General Allenby's army, which he accompanied in the victorious campaign which ended in the capture of Jerusalem.

Dr. Ward is now Dean of the medical school of the American University of Beirut, Syria, where he has served for some time as Professor of Surgery. He is in the United States helping to raise money to maintain the medical school and other departments of the University of Beirut.
