for some months. On July 1 it will
be in charge of DR.. George Emerson
Brewer of New York. and while DR..
Brewer is there his son, now a school
boy at Groton, Mass, will be driving
a motor ambulance, bringing wounded
men from the trenches to his father.
None of these surgeons or the others
who will go in the future receive or
would accept cent of pay. AS in the
cases of the college boys who are
driving ambulances and carrying
stretchers, they are furnishing a re-
markable example of altruism.
AS far as the college boys themselves
are concerned, it costs each one OF
them not less than $400 to go to
France and enlist in the work for two
to three months. Sometimes the money
is provided by the boy himself or by
his relatives. Frequently alumni OF
the institution subscribe the funds
Occasionally the college itself does so.
