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
judicial 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.
