DEAN WILLIAM PEPPER WORLD WAR I-MAJOR PEPPER, M.C. TWE TY- FIVE YEAR M10 WILL endeavor to describe how the first World War affected the students in our Medical School. I recognize my limitations in so doing, because I was in the Dean's Office for three months while the school was in session. I went to camp in June, 1917, and was ordered back on inactive duty in April, 1918. I again went to camp early in Novem- ber, 1918, just before the Armistice and returned to my duties in the Dean's office about January 1, 1919. In December, 1916, the Secretary of War wrote to thc Deans of the various Medical Schools about the possibility of the introduction into the cur- icula of a course especially adapted to Medical Sanitary and Surgical training for the Army and Navy and asked that representatives from all the schools attend a meeting in Washington on January 6, 1917. On January 27, the Surgeon General informed us that Colonel Henry Page had been ordered to Philadelphia for the purpose of deliver' ing lectures on Military Medicine and Camp Sanif tation at our Medical School. Colonel Page had graduated from our School in 1894. Later he was to command the Medical Officers Training Camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, which was called Camp Greenleaf. It was to this camp that many of our Faculty went for a period of training. Colonel Page arranged a course of lectures in which some of our Faculty participated. War was declared on April 6, 1917, and the first registraf tion for men between 21 and 31 was on june 5, 1917, and the next registration for men who in the meantime had reached the age of 21 was on June 5, 1918. In August, 1917, it became possible for the stu' dents then in the School to enroll in the Medical Enlisted Reserve Corps. This corresponded some' what to the present Medical Administrative Corps in keeping the students in School and preventing them from being drafted. In October, 1918, the Medical Enlisted Reserve Corps men were transferred to the newly organized Students Army Training Corps and then began real military training. Line officers were ordered to the University. Some of the 2nd lieutenants of Infantry were young college students fresh from an Officers Training Camp, one of them a freshman from Cornell University seems to have particularly irritated the medical students, all of whom were older than he. Corporals and Sergeants were made and after a few days of intentional in' efliciency were broken, their successors following the same routine. Twenty-six
