DORMITORY, BOARD, MEDICAL ATTENDANCE.

Dormitory.—Students may reside in the University dormitories, in
private houses approved by the President, or in their homes. Any change
of residence during the session should be reported at the office of the
Registrar.

The occupant of a dormitory has first right to it, and may reserve
it for the next session by registration with the Bursar before the end
of the current session; thereafter any vacant dormitory is assigned to the
first applicant. But unless a deposit of fifteen dollars is made with the
Bursar on or before September 1, the room is forfeited. No dormitory
may be sublet or used for other than its proper purpose.

Boarding.—Students may board and lodge either in the University
precincts or at their homes, or in houses licensed by the Faculty.
It is the duty of the President to withdraw the license from any house
in which the regulations as to the conduct of students are not observed.
Change of lodging should be reported at the Registrar's office.

Medical Attendance.—Any student who is temporarily ill from
causes not due to his own misconduct is entitled, without charge, to
all necessary medical advice from the University Physician; and, if
necessary, to skilful nursing in the University Hospital at a reasonable
charge for his maintenance while there. This exemption from charge
does not apply to cases requiring surgical operation, chronic cases, or to
constitutional disorders of long standing from which the student in question
was suffering at the time of his coming to the University. Students
who take the responsibility of boarding at houses not approved by the
Board of Health forfeit the right to this exemption. Students residing
at their own homes, who waive this right, are entitled to the remission
of a portion of the University fee. Any student sent to the University
Hospital by the advice and under the care of a physician other than the
University Physician will be required to pay the regular hospital charges
for private patients.

Physical Training.—No student is permitted to undertake an
amount of work greater than he may reasonably be expected to do well
without detriment to his physical health; and every student is advised
to take a due amount of daily outdoor exercise, for which ample opportunities
are afforded upon the athletic fields, the tennis courts, the golf
course, and in other forms; and in addition, to make systematic use of
the facilities afforded without cost for definite and judicious physical
training at the Fayerweather Gymnasium, under the advice and instruction
of the Director and his assistants. Further information upon this important
subject will be found upon a subsequent page.
