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. Nor is the University responsible for the expense
incurred through the employment of private nurses, necessitated by severe
illness of students, or through the maintenance of quarantine precautions in
contagious cases. Students who take the responsibility 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 carry 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 by 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. For the regular course in Physical Training
with credit value toward academic degrees, see page 133. Further information
upon the equipment and policy of the University in the matter of Physical
Training and Athletics will be found on page 224.
