LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
Among the 56 Y. M. C. A. secretaries who sailed recently for France from an Atlantic port, two University graduates were included. They constitute a part of the army of Red Triangle workers going to Europe almost daily to help the Y. M. C. A. meet the needs of the war. More than 600 have already gone and more will follow until the Association is able to look out for every American soldier wherever he may be stationed.
Only a few of the men who have been accepted as Y. M. C. A. workers are of the draft age, as only those who have been exempted from military service were accepted.
Among the men who sailed are Charles David Kepner '17, of Newtonville, a former educational secretary at Camp Greene, exempted from service because of his eyes; and A. A. Boyden 98, of New York City, associated for a while with McClure's Magazine, and managing editor of the American Magazine since 1906.
