Tales of skill, self-sacrifice and courage displayed by "Tech" men are preserved as an inspiration to their comrades and descendants. Attention is directed to the fact that such an institution as "Technology" is not only a valuable auxillary in developing commerce and industry in time of peace but that in time of national emergency it becomes an indispensable part of the Nation's military organization.

Book Description
Excerpt from War Activities: Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter, American Red Cross Shortly after this, the first membership campaign was undertaken by a Committee under direction of Colonel Samuel D. Lit. This drive brought the membership up to by the end of July, 1916. Subsequent membership drives were carried on in 1917 and 1918, the high-water mark of members being reached at the conclusion Of the 1917 drive. Out of the Widener Building exhibit grew the establish ment of the Instruction Classes in First Aid, Elementary Hygiene and Home Care of the Sick, and Dietetics. Since this sort of instruction is being carried over into the Peace Program of the Red Cross, its early introduction into the Chapter's scheme of work is of more than passing interest. The organization of a base hospital in Philadelphia claimed attention in June, 1916, and subsequently Dr. Harte reported that he had received from the Women's Committee on Preparedness the sum of to be used for such a hospital. Out of this grew Base Hospital No. 10, with which Dr. Harte later went abroad as Director. The personnel of this hospital was drawn from the Pennsylvania Hospital. Other Base Hospitals were formed in the University of Penn sylvania, Jefferson and Episcopal Hospitals, with a Naval Base in the Methodist Hospital and a Field Hospital Unit in the Presbyterian Hospital. All of these were later called into service, and while the Chapter was in no sense directly responsible for them, it acted as custodian for some of their funds and cheerfully supplied Whatever material was requested. It, therefore, feels a due measure of pride in the skill and success with which these hospitals were managed by their respective Directors. Matters of organization were under constant considera tion up to the entry of the United States into the Great War, and even then many adjustments became necessary to meet the varying and increasing demands of the Red Cross in aid of the Government.
