Notes:
The document is from a bound volume of materials on War Work done by Springfield College during World War I. The volume was disbound for preservation and access concerns. The training of war work secretaries and physical education directors were important contributions to the war effort by Springfield College. The YMCA provided canteen services at the invitation of the US government and raised more than 150 million dollars (equivalent to 2.7 billion dollars in 2014) in order to comply with the request. This kind of work was not new to the YMCA which provided similar services during the Spanish American War.
Document was disbound from "War work courses in the great war: 1917-1918" The binding was sewn together and glued. Each string was cut with a razor blade. The edges are intact and the placement of stitches are visible. Each page or booklet was individually lifted out of the binding;
