Health Service
Asks Precaution
The length of the current list of
patients in the College infirmary
attests to the effect of the present
changing weather on student
health..
Examinations having a tendency,
to .come . the sarne._week f stu
dents' are - apt` to attempt getting
along with a minimum amount of
sleep and with high prices some
students skimp along on their
meals.
Both of these practices result in
rundown systems, leaving the
body susceptible to many dis
eases. which would otherwise be
resisted.
With generally crowded facili
ties the spread of disease becomes
an important fact6r in our daily
lives here at the College. Students
who are ill are urged to report to
the infirmary before they aid in
the 'spread . of germs to healthy
students. Other students are urged
to take care of their own health
so that they don't add to the pres
ent burden on College facilities.
