George Sherwood Eddy was a leading Protestant missionary, author and speaker, apparently an expert on Asia. He was also the National Secretary for the YMCA. Here is the web page for the Wikipedia article on him. If you're interested in reading one of his many books, Project Gutenberg has With Our Soldiers in France on line at this address: Eddy. It was published shortly after the war, so Stanford may have read it.

Here's his picture:
