  <mods:abstract>This document contains twelve suggested subjects to be included in courses preparing men for Army YMCA work during the first World War. Included in these subjects are objectives, which indicate what men should be learning in each subject area. The College’s ties with the YMCA resulted in many alumni, students and faculty going overseas to work as YMCA camp secretaries. Like many colleges and universities across the country, Springfield established their own SATC unit on campus and built a barracks for them in 1918. The United States entered the World War One on April 6 1917 and in response Springfield College offered war work courses for YMCA secretaries. The training of war work secretaries and physical education directors were important contributions to the war effort by the college. The YMCA provided canteen services at the invitation of the US government and raised more than 150 million dollars 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.</mods:abstract>
