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 the first right to it, and may
reserve it for the next session, by contract with the bursar, and depositing
$5.00 (which is in no case returnable), not later than May first. The
balance of the rent shall be paid not later than the first registration
day of the session, otherwise such preference or other right shall be
forfeited. No dormitory may be sublet; nor shall the same be used
for improper purposes. For rental of university dormitories, see p. 101.
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
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.
