Mark Antony De Wolfe Howe Jr. (August 23, 1864 - December 6, 1960) was an American editor and author, a recipient of the 1925 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography. In 1886, Howe graduated from Lehigh University and in 1887 from Harvard University (Master of Arts, 1888). He served as associate editor of the Youth's Companion from 1888 to 1893 and from 1899 to 1913. He also served as assistant editor of the Atlantic Monthly in 1893-1895, and as editor of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin until 1913. He was vice president of the Atlantic Monthly company from 1911 to 1929. As an author, he won the 1925 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography for Barrett Wendell and His Letters. He was the editor of Harvard Volunteers in Europe in 1916. Among the topics included are: Trench Warfare, Zeppelin, American Ambulance Hospital, Serbia, Motor-Ambulance, American Distributing Service, French Foreign Legion, Royal Field Artillery, Military Hospitals, Ambulance Corps, Ambulance Service, and Ambulance Drivers. At the outbreak of the European war, during the season of summer travel in 1914, many Harvard men were in Europe. Not a few of them were attached to the United States embassies and legations in the various capitals. The business of these offices immediately became pressing in the extreme. The labors of those officially connected with them were shared at once by volunteers-the first of the Harvard fellowship to offer a helping hand where it was needed in the sudden disorganization of an orderly world. The call to the colors of the various warring nations quickly drew into the conflict those who owed allegiance to one or another flag. In military service, such as that of the Foreign Legion and Flying Corps of the French Army, others have expressed the allegiance of sympathy if not of birth. But it has been in the organization of hospital service and in the work of ambulance corps engaged in the dangerous task of bringing wounded men with all possible speed to the ministrations of surgeons and nurses that Harvard has had by far the largest numerical representation. In hospital work it has been even an official representation, for the Surgical Units sent in the spring of 1915 to the American Ambulance Hospital in Paris, and in the summer of the same year to equip a British military hospital in France-a service undertaken originally for three months, but continued much longer--were Units bearing the name and sanction of the University, through its Medical School. From the Medical School also Professor Strong was detached for his service of world-wide importance in combatting, successfully, the plague of typhus in Serbia.
