rfc Pi.Q.n. [D1TH OLIVER REA, a Volunteer Worker in American Red Cross, was appointed by National Headquarters as the first Red Cross Field Director at Walter Reed Hospital on May 1 1 , 1918, and the only woman so honored during the war. served until September 17, 1919, at which time her active service ended, but not her vital interest in her hospital, and all its activities. In her administration she endeared herself to everyone on the Post by her tact and never failing consideration of others. When the Army School of Nursing was instituted she recognized the need of a rest house for the nurses and was instrumental in securing from the Red Cross what is now known as the Nurses Recreation House. In 1921. at the graduation of the war class, she bestowed the scholarship for advanced special study at Columbia University. The presentation and endowment of the Rea Medal in 1925 for the member of graduating class whom the faculty considers has shown the greatest natural aptitude for her work, not only for the lessons learned from books, but also for human understanding, unfail- ing cheerfulness and optimism, which were found everywhere during the time of stress, but are much harder now without the exaltation and excitment of war, is another evidence of her never failing interest. The Rea swimming pool is probably the best known of % Mrs. Rea ' s many gifts, but the three green houses, the collection of orchids and other rare plants, she has added from time to time, also give a great deal of pleasure. It is impossible to enumerate her acts of kindness and boundless generosity. M. H. L. - 1926 -
