Synopsis

Excerpt from A Journal of the Harvard Medical School Unit to the American Ambulance Hospital in Paris: Spring of 1915

The letter and matter were at once turned over to the Surgical Department by the Dean, who was himself greatly in favour of a Harvard Contingent taking up the proposed offer. The Surgical Department took the proposition to the President and Fellows of the University. The latter entirely approved the undertaking, provided sufficient sums could be raised. The Surgical Department almost immediately, through Judge Robert Grant, found a most willing supporter in Mr. William Lindsey, of Boston, who, though not an alumnus of Harvard himself, has a son recently graduated from the college. He offered to defray all expenses of travel and outfit.

The-surgical department soon started to organise a unit, having definitely accepted the Paris; service for the months of April, May and June. The interest in the undertaking was at once tremendous. It seemed that everyone either wanted to join or help in the preparations. Dr. Robert Greenough took over the entire management of assembling and constructing the unit, assisted by the chief of the department, Dr. Cushing. Letters to and from Drs. Crile and Blake were frequent, and from these two persons we derived most of our information and much stimulation. Both wrote enthusiastically of the work and of Harvard's acceptance.
