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 (Continued on page 6) Have You Ever Noticed that in any game where a ball is used in a competitive way, that the official ball 1 TRADC M ARK ' IN " always bears this trade- mark, whether it be FOOT- BALL, IN- DOOR BASE- BALL, LACROSSE, BASEBALL or any other athletic game?
