It is requested that all entitled to wear uni- forms do so upon this occasion. Delivery of flags to the custody of the Hos- pital at 5 p.m. ADDRESS OF DR. HENRY P. WALCOTT TWO most memorable years have passed since the Massachusetts General Hospital unit went forth after the solemn exercises in Trinity Church, to enter upon medical service in France. It may have been a disappointment to some of the mem- bers that the unit was destined to remain in the vicinity of Bordeaux. In the end, however, the hospital established there won golden opinions from all in authority. Let me read the following note from Dr. Win- ter. The competence of his opinion cannot be questioned. I am in receipt of an invitation from the Trus- tees of the Massachusetts General Hospital, invit- ing me to be present on the afternoon of Monday, June 9, to meet the members of Base Hospital No. 6 and other persons who have served in the army after service in your hospital. I beg to thank the Trustees for the invitation, and I can't forego a word of regret that I shall be unable to be present at any function which in any way comprehends a tribute to the personnel of Base Hospital No. 6. The actuation which I have in this matter, is, of course, abundantly known to you; but I shall be very grateful to you if you will express for me to the members of the unit, my very substan- [2] tial and abiding appreciation of the splendid work they all did in the trying days of the situation of Bordeaux. It is my judgment that the accom- plishment there was a great one, and certainly no institution in the Lines of Communication in France carried forth its work to a more effective and entirely satisfactory result than Base Hos- pital Unit No. 6 accomplished at the Talence Hospital. I shall appreciate it very much if you will con- vey to all the personnel of the unit my very deep sense of gratitude for the fine work they did for the Medical Department, and I also hope that it may be my good fortune to encounter such splendid people should another emergency put us in the position we were in in 1917. With best wishes for yourself, please believe me Very sincerely yours, (Sd) F. A. Winter, Colonel, Medical Corps, U.S.A. Formerly Chief Surgeon, Lines of Communication. Dr. Washburn's great abilities soon won for him promotion to fields of larger activities, and for the latter part of the unit's stay abroad he was in charge of the American hospitals in England. This unit does not by any means represent the whole of the contribution of this ancient hospital [3] to the fearful struggle from which we at last, let us hope, have emerged. Even before the United States formally entered upon the war many of our graduates and present staff had joined the various organizations which were undertaking the merciful work of the physician's calling in the fever haunted regions of unfortunate Serbia, on the battle-fronts of France and Italy, and on the stormy and fate- ful waters of the north ocean, and everywhere with credit. This hospital enjoys an inheritance not usual among its fellows. It was dedicated under the leading of two wise men more than a century ago to purposes far wider than those of a mere asylum for the disabled sick. It has never forgotten the pledges given to its generous benefactors, and I am fain to believe that its successes of these recent days are due to the wider conceptions of the scope and obligations of medicine than those which usu- ally prevail. I believe that our representatives have succeeded in their most trying services because they have been largely trained in a school with a more generous outlook, and have not been content with a merely routine performance of certain prescribed activities. [4] Your return differs widely from that of those whom we have so gladly been receiving back into civil life in these recent days. They hope to have seen the last of war and to forget many of its incidents. You are to devote yourselves with undiminished zeal to the attempt to conquer disease. The governments of the world may indeed close the doors of their temple of Janus with better pros- pect of success, let us hope, than the Romans had, for they were only able to do so three times in seven hundred years. But for you the doors must be forever open. Peace has for us no respite from a war that never ends, and horrible as are the cruel- ties of the battlefields, they may be matched by some of the experiences which our hospitals offer. For a full-grown man in all the vigor of his man- hood to be deprived of sight by some catastrophe of the battlefield is indeed a tragedy. What shall we say of the infant otherwise sound in body, de- prived of sight by the ignorance and neglect of those who should have protected it, and left it to linger on in its dark prison house through the heavy years? Let us realize that preventable disease has de- [5] stroyed more lives than all the accursed inventions employed for that purpose on the battle-front. You, who are so familiar with the results of the physical examination of the men of this country for the purpose of procuring soldiers and sailors fit for service, know too well how great are the defects of physical condition of those subject to examination, many of which can, and ought to be, remedied. " Peace hath its victories no less renowned than war," and to these we welcome you back. Dr. Washburn, your foresight, knowledge, and energy brought our unit to a high state of efficiency before any similar organization; you have had an unusually varied experience and can speak with authority. You do not need an introduction here. ADDRESS OF COLONEL FREDERIC A. WASHBURN, COMMANDER, BASE HOSPITAL NO. 6 MR. PRESIDENT, Members of the Board of Trustees, Visiting Ladies, and sons and daughters of the Massachusetts General Hospital: The great war is ended. It is true that the Treaty of Peace is not yet signed, but Germany is in a position where she cannot renew hostilities. It is time to review the field and see what part the Massachusetts General Hospital has taken. We find it, I venture to say, worthy of her glori- ous traditions. Our records show that its alumni and staff have furnished 238 commissioned offi- cers, 228 women nurses, and 80 male nurses and employees, who have served in the Armies of the United States or the alhed nations, a total of 546. Of the officers there were two brigadier-generals and six colonels, and a considerable number at- tained the rank of lieutenant-colonel. We sup- plied three Chiefs of Professional Services in the American Expeditionary Force and one such Chief in the United States. From our alumni were selected two Chief Surgeons of Sections of the [7] American Expeditionary Force, three Command- ing Officers of Base Hospitals, one Commanding Officer of a British General Hospital, and many Commanders of Camp and Evacuation hospitals. Wherever one went in France or England one found our graduates rendering valuable and much appreciated professional services. We were well represented in that band of one thousand doctors with American commissions who were loaned to the British. The Orthopedic group working in large British hospitals in London, Edinboro, Ox- ford, Liverpool, and elsewhere in England, was composed largely of our men. They made a very definite reputation for themselves in England and reflected much credit upon our hospital. Base Hospital No. 5, which served with the British with such effectiveness, was officered very largely by our men. British General Hospital No. 22 was com- manded and largely officered by us. United States Army Base Hospital No. 55 had Massachusetts General Hospital men for most of its officers and one of our Visiting Surgeons as its Director. Base Hospital No. 204 was commanded by one of our Out-Patient Surgeons. Base Hospital No. 6, our distinctively Massachusetts General Hospital [8] Unit, had its original staff almost entirely com- posed of our alumni and staff. No one ever di- rected a more efficient, high-minded loyal group than was the unit which I had the high privilege to command. Our nurses acquired an enviable reputation for hard, efficient work and set an example of true womanly conduct of which we may well be proud. The part taken by our employees was necessarily a less conspicuous one. Some of them obtained commissions and many reached non-commissioned rank as a reward for excellent service. We have lost by death five doctors, seven nurses, and one member of the Ladies' Visiting Commit- tee. One surgeon was killed in action, one died of wounds received in action, the others died of disease. It is the concensus of opinion of the leading medical officers of the Army that the Base Hos- pitals organized at our civil hospitals and ready for this war saved the situation for the American Expeditionary Force. The Medical Department would have been lost without them. This is readily admitted by all in a position to know. It is a source of satisfaction to us that our hospital was one of [9] the first to appreciate the situation and began its preparation more than a year before the United States entered the war. What a splendid illustration all this is of the value of our hospital to the community. How it shows the wisdom of its founders in making it an institution for the training of our youth as well as for the care of the sick. What greater asset can New England have than this glorious old institution, which not only cares for the sick and trains doctors and nurses for its needs in normal times, but can make such a showing in time of war or national calamity. Let the faint-hearted doubt and fear because of the expense to take the necessary steps to meet the demands of the times and have the Massachusetts General Hospital lead, as she always has done. Those of us who are her true children are confi- dent that when the Trustees really make New England understand the hospital's needs, it will receive a support worthy of the place it holds in the affection and esteem of our people. It is a peculiar pleasure to me, Dr. Walcott, that you represent the hospital on this occasion. I have served under you as Chairman of the Board [10] of Trustees for sixteen years. I have seen the hospital grow under your leadership and I have been in a position to know that you have always stood for progress and development, for the train- ing of our young men and women, teaching and investigation as well as for the care of the sick. These flags stood for twenty months in the Ad- ministration Building of Base Hospital No. 6 in Talence, Bordeaux. They saw our hospital there grow from modest beginnings to where it cared for forty-three hundred patients at one time. They stood for the Massachusetts General Hospital in France during the Great War. I hand them to you, Sir, with the request that the Trustees place them in the Treadwell Library of this hospital and preserve them with the care which we believe their history warrants. The flags were then presented by the color- bearers to Dr. Walcott, who received them with these words: — " In the name of the Massachusetts General Hospital I receive these flags, and assure you that they shall be carefully preserved here." In explanation of the efficiency to which Ameri- [11] can Base Hospital No. 6 attained, Lieutenant- Colonel Cabot said: "We were on the ground long before American casualties began. We had months in which to equip it with every device of a modern hospital. There was absolutely nothing lacking in our equipment. It was not necessary to wait hours for the attendance of a specialist at a consultation, as is the case some- times at hospitals on this side. A consultation over a serious case could be called in five minutes. " Every sitting at the officers' mess was a poten- tial consultation on the most severe cases in the hospital." ADDRESS OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL FRANKLIN A. BALCH, COMMANDER ARMY BASE HOSPITAL NO. 55 PERHAPS it is fitting that I should explain why we, an Army Base Hospital, feel that we should like to place the nurses' flag of Base Hos- pital No. 55 in the Treadwell Library. We were not, as was Base Hospital No. 6, a Red Cross Unit and in consequence had no flag presented to us. Our nurses subscribed for and bought the flag which they carried. At the time the hospital was organized, Colonel Moncrief gave me permission to pick the personnel, both officers and nurses. Naturally I turned to the Massachusetts General Hospital, and our whole surgical staff were graduated from there. The men in the Medical and Special divisions were chosen, with very few exceptions, in consultation with the heads of the special departments in Washington. Miss Jessie E. Grant, a Massachusetts General Hospital graduate, was our Chief Nurse. With the exception of fifteen who were sent to us by the A.N.C., she passed upon the fitness of all our [13] nurses. Ten came from the Faulkner Hospital, which is affiliated with the Massachusetts General Hospital, and had been trained under Miss Cox, herself a Massachusetts General Hospital gradu- ate. Two came from the Anna Jacques Hospital, where they had been trained under the Chief Nurse. Ten came from the Newton Hospital, the high standard of whose training needs no word of praise from me. One from the Boston Homeo- pathic Hospital I wanted because of her excellent work at the time of the Halifax disaster. There were four from the Baptist, trained under Miss Anderson, another Massachusetts General Hospi- tal graduate; one from the Children's; three from the City Hospital. One came from the Deaconess. One from the Peter Bent Brigham, and twenty- nine, far the largest proportion from any one hos- pital, from our own training school. When you consider that the Massachusetts General Hospital had already supplied the nurses for Base Hospital No. 6, some for Base Hospital No. 5, many for the English General Hospital No. 22, beside many to other organizations for both home and foreign service, you can appreciate how wonderfully the nurses of this institution have responded to the [14] call. Base Hospital No. 55 was often spoken of as a Massachusetts General Hospital Unit, and much of what we were able to accomplish was due to what we had acquired within these walls. What more fitting resting place could we find for our flag than this spot? I believe none, and it gives me great pleasure to transfer to the care of the Massa- chusetts General Hospital the flag of the nurses of Army Base Hospital No. 55.
