THE MICEIQAN DAILY
t _ _ _ i
complete medical care and examina-
tion of athletes.
Columbia
A service has been established here
during the past year. Hours are
kept twice daily, caring. for about
thirty students. A well-equipped dis-
pensary is maintained in one of the
campus buildings. The service is
rapidly extending although there has
been no definite .provision whereby the
service can give infirmary privileges
to bed patients. No fee has been
charged of the student as the dispen-
sary has been established and main-
tained by the university.
Yale
A suitable endowed infirmary is
maintained in" charge of a nurse ma-
tron. Students pay $1.50 a day for
ordinary care and employ their"own
physician and special nursing. There
is no organized student health ser-
vice, and the gymnasium director has
been able to do but little in the way of
medical examination knd instruction
in hygiene.
Stanford
The work- has no organization as a
definite service. The 'provision for the
student health is supervised in general
by a committee of the faculty. They
inspect rooming-houses enforce vac-
cination, and do some detailed work
through the medical advisers who are
directors of the gymnasia.
The medical advisers, one woman
and one man, act in an advisory capac-
ity, in connection with their work in
the gymnasia. They give no treatment,
but examine entrants in relation to
their gymnasium work. Bed patients
are provided for by an organization
of students known as a hospital guild.
This is supervised by a faculty com-
mittee, and membership is compulsory
for each student at $4 per year. This
entitles the student to ordinary hospit-
al care in a local hospital except for
contagious cases, which are provided
for otherwise by the guild. Medical
care, private rooms and special nurses
are not furnished the patient.
Chicago
During 1911, a committee of the
faculty of the University of Chicago
was appointed to investigate student
health problems.
Their report emphasized the obliga-
tion of a university in the provision
for good health among its students.
They recommended the maintenance
of an infirmary for students; that gen-
eral instruction by lectures be devel-
oped by the health officer for new
students and that such entrants be
given a medical examination on ma-
triculation.. They asked that consul-
tation hours be maintained for sick
students and that vaccination be en-
forced.
A recent report is to the effect that
the university has not undertaken the
care for sick students since October,
1912, up to which time there had been
a university physician. A committee
of the faculty supervises sanitation
and the gymnasium directors do some
medical work among the students in-
cidentally. Freshmen are examined
at the gymnasia and are required to
attend lectures on hygiene during the
-first quarter. The policy seems to be
not to assume responsibility in caring
for sick students.
Williams .
A twenty-four-bed infirmary is main-
tained for students, faculty, and their
families at a rate of $1.50 per day for
the patient.
The staff is composed of three local
physicians, one of whom, Dr. F. H.
Howard, delivers compulsory lectures
on hygiene and examines entrants.
Other physicians care for infirmary
patients at request of parents. There
is no general fee and no dispensary
work is done.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
At this school the 1,700 students pay
no fee. They may consult a college
physician during certain hours. The
medical adviser delivers lectures to
first year students.
Pennsylvania
The University of Pennsylvania has
no organized health service. The need
of it there is felt by those most in
touch with student health. The ample
facilities at the .university hospital on
the campus have supplied this want
with certain satisfaction. The exclu-
sive ward for students make a suitable
arrangement for cases requiring bed
care. The patient pays a nominal fee
for ordinary care. The medical at-
tention is supplied by the hospital
staff.
ll verford College
For a small school, the service is
especially commendable. The students
contributed a sum of money and a
beautiful infirmary building, well
equipped, has been established by ad-
ded endowment. Dr. J. A. Babbit is
teacher of biology, director of the
gymnasium, and college physician.
The cooperation of these departments
is a special feature of this excellent
service. -
Culver Military Academy
Culver may be cited as an instance
of the provision made in boys' prepara-
tory schools. An organized service
has been working there since 1908.
There are about four hundred and
fifty students during the regular Win-
ter term. The medical staff consists
of one physician and two nurses de-
voting full time. The average of dis-
pensary calls is about twenty daily.
Room visits are made as needed.
A 17-room infirmary is maintained.
It is in charge of the academy physi-
cian, who asks outside consultation
as required. 250 bed patients were
treated during the last session. Fre-
quent examination of all students with
weekly lectures in general hygiene are
required. General supervision and
remedial gymnasium work are empha-
sized features.
Vassar
For about 20 years this school has
made provision for student health.
About one thousand students are cared
for. Three women physicians, are
employed in the service, and they do
some other instruction work in the
college.
A good dispensary is maintained
and detailed treatment is given. The
30-room infirmary where bed patients
pay $1.50 a day, is well equipped.
Careful examinations are required on
entrance and attendance on lectures
is compulsory.
, Wellesley
This school has a plan very much
as that described for Vassar. Each
of the 1,300 students pays a $5 annual
fee. For this they receive dispensary
privileges, supervision, and two weeks'
care in a well-equipped infirmary. Dr.
Katherine Raymond and two nurses
are employed. Local physicians are
called at request of the patient. The
inspection of entrants is especially
complete.
Smith
Until the last year, the service was
much as described for Vassar and
Wellesley. Since that time the policy
has been changed. Hours for advisory
consultation are maintained, and cases
requiring treatment are referred to
local physicians. The local physic-
ians aid by making careful reports to
the college physician, Dr. Florence
Gilman, also dir'ector of the gymna-
sium, who has. large authority in
handling medical affairs at the school.
The infirmary is inadequate and in-
ferior, although a suitable rest home
is maintained in addition. The gener-
ous inspection of the school and the
examination of entrants is well main-
tained. Lectures are provided for in-
struction in hygiene. There are about
1,500 students.
STATE UNIVERSITIES
California
As typical of the progressive ele-
ment in western institutions the uni-
versity of California has probably de-
veloped the best service. It has been
organized since 1906. Dr. G. F. Rein-
hardt, professor of hygiene in the uni-
versity, heads the staff and does the
surgery in addition to the administra-
tive work. Two men care for the
daily clinics and house patients. Each
of the eight physicians works with the
service about four hours daily. Some
of them are connected with the medi-
cal teaching staff of the university.
There are over five thousand stu-
dents who pay $6 each annually for
medical service. Operations and spec-
'ial nursing are not covered by this
sum. The average daily dispensary
patients number about one hundred.
Calls are never made in the rooms,
as bed patients are sent to the in-
firmary, which is exclusively for stu-
dents and has forty beds. 580 bed
patients were treated during the last
year. Local physicians are called as
consultants only.
Applicants must appear before the
university medical examiners and pass
a satisfactory examination to the end
that the health of the university com-
munity may be safeguarded. Weekly
two-hour lectures on hygiene are re-
quired of freshmen during the first
term.
miehigan
Out of general demand from the
campus, the organization of a service
was undertaken in October, 1913. It
was organized to undertake both pre-
ventive work and instruction, and the

There must be a reason for

.The same argument applies
to all things athletic.
