The College Health Service is available to all undergraduates,
full-time graduates, and students holding appointments as graduate
assistants, graduate stipend scholars, and graduate fellows who pay
the health service fee.
The health service is divided into two departments, a dispen
sary and an infirmary. The dispensary, located in 3 Old. Main, is
the outpatient department and is
open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon
day through Friday. The Saturday
hours are 8 a.m. to noon. Emer
gency cases at other times are
treated at the infirmary, where a
staff physician is on duty 24 hours
a day. .

The infirmary, located at the
corner of Pollock and Shortlidge
roads, is the inpatient department.
It is open 24 hours a day except
during the vacation periods, and
has a capacity of 28 beds. In an
emergency it can accommodate 36
patients. The infirmary is staffed
by seven full-time and three part
time physicians. This includes a
dentist, psychiatrist, and a physi
cal therapist. There are 14 nurses
on the staff, three of which work

charge each semester. A fee of
$3 is charged for each additional
day.

Sporting Goods
Students have a choice of being
treated by the health service or
by private physicians who charge
a fee for service. The student is
entitled to free service only at the
infirmary or dispensary.
In case of accident or illness
students are to follow this pro
cedure: Decide whether you will
go to, health service or call a pri
vate physician. If health service,
go to dispensary during the stated
hours; at any other time the in
firmary. If you feel you cannot
go, call the infirmary for advice.
If you want a private physician,
call one and explain the nature
of the accident or illness. If he
advises you to go to the infirmary
you should do so.
Students are the same as any
one else in calling private physi
cians. The doctors do not have to
accept them unless they are able
and wish to do so.
If you call a town doctor you
are obligated to pay for his serv
ices. His bill will be higher at
night than in the daytime. Also it
will be higher after midnight. If
the doctor does come have some
one guide him to the patient to
save him and the patient a need
less waste of time.
