MEDICAL ATTENDANCE AND PHYSICAL TRAINING.
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 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, treatment of the eye, ear, nose, and throat, or to constitutional
disorders from which the student in question was suffering at the
time of his coming to the University. The University is not responsible
for the expense incurred through the employment of private nurses, necessitated
by severe illness of students, or through the maintenance of quarantine
of boarding at houses not approved by the Board of Health forfeit the right
of medical attendance. 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 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
elsewhere; 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 page 288.
