l Y-ir, -,,xY,4,-VYik,- WV Summary of Washburn's Part In the War. wifi ASHBURN College is proud of her soldiers. It is her hope, however. fp 5 l . . . . . A that a share 111 her contr1but1o11 towards Wllllllllg' the war mav be L- made by those who have stayed at home, as well as by those who have gone over therefl The first definite action of the College after the declaration of war, was tl1e organization of Red Cross courses in Hygiene a11d First Aid, for the girls, and for the boys, the establishment of military drill. About two hundred and fifty diplomas were granted i11 the Red Cross courses. Wie are indebted for the success of this undertaking to the many doctors and trained nurses of Topeka who gave their time and services to conduct the lecture work and demonstration. In the Fall of IQI7, XV3.Sl'llD1.11'U conducted successfully l1er part of tl1e Na- tional campaign for a Student Friendship XVar Fund of one million dollars. XVashburn's pledge was two thousand dollars, and her actual contribution, about two thousand, Five hundred dollars. This campaign was conducted by a student committee and the major part of the fund was pledged in forty- eight hours after the campaign was started. In the Red Cross Drive of December, IQI7, a student committee canvassed the College and obtained about two hundred sixty-five new memberships in the Red Cross., Many of the students. of course. had become members prev- iously. Gther things have been done for the XV2i5l1lJ111'1l men who are i11 the service. 'Washburn College students have been divided into committees of two or three. each of which has a XVashburn soldier as a 'iXV211'd.u These committees keep their wards in touch with the life of tl1e school. At Thanksgiving, and at Christmas, the school sent a gift to the XVashburn Ambulance Company, at Camp Pike. The Christmas gift was an Edison. The Service Record of XV21Sl'1l.lL11'11 College is 11ot yet complete. It will not be complete until peace has come. and we are mustered out from war ser- vice, to take up again with more intense devotion the constructive work of peace. The VVashburn spirit, the spirit of sacrificial service, will glow with a brighter flame, because we voluntarily enlisted for the period of the war. 19 -43 5 1 'v ..- -vb F .La
