Edward Deshon Brandegee '81, Regent of the College, left last night for Washington, where he will enter the Government service as a member of the Home Service Department of the Red Cross. Mr. Brandegee will probably continue his work in the Capitol for the remainder of the academic year, or longer, if circumstances permit. Assistant Dean Mayo will act as Regent during his absence.
Mr. Brandegee is following the course taken during the past year by many members of the Faculty who have found their country in need of their trained services. In his work with the Home Service Department he is taking up a post of importance in a bureau which is carrying on a service of vast importance to the active fighting forces in connection with keeping up the morale of the men, both in the ranks and among the officers.
Regent Brandegee is the third officer of the University to have left for war work within the past week. Five days ago the departure for Washington of Professor Louis Caryl Graton of the Geology Department was announced.
