爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
In September, 1917, word was received from John R. Mott that Bok had been appointed State chairman for the Y. M. C. A. War Work Council for Pennsylvania; that a country-wide campaign for twenty-five million dollars would be launched six weeks hence, and that Pennsylvania's quota was three millions of dollars. He was to set up an organization throughout the State, conduct the drive from Philadelphia, speak at various centres in Pennsylvania, and secure the allocated quota. Bok knew little or nothing about the work of the Y. M. C. A.; he accordingly went to New York headquarters and familiarized himself with the work being done and proposed; and then began to set up his State machinery. The drive came off as scheduled, Pennsylvania doubled its quota, subscribing six instead of three millions of dollars, and of this was collected five million eight hundred and twenty-nine thousand dollars--almost one hundred per cent.

白话
1917年9月，约翰·R·莫特通知博克，他被任命为宾夕法尼亚州基督教青年会战争工作委员会的主席；六周后将启动一场全国性的两千五百万美元募捐活动，宾州的配额是三百万美元。他需要在全州建立组织，从费城指挥募捐，在宾州各中心演讲，并确保完成分配到的配额。博克对基督教青年会的工作几乎一无所知；于是他前往纽约总部，熟悉正在进行和计划中的工作，然后开始建立州级机构。募捐活动如期举行，宾州超额一倍，认捐六百万而非三百万美元，其中实际收到五百八十二万九千美元——几乎百分之百。

一战期间，基督教青年会被总统赋予战时服务任务，博克受命领导宾州募捐，尽管他缺乏相关经验。
