Student Health Physical Training - Military A L L students, men and women, entering the University as freshmen are reJLX. quired to pass courses aggregating four semesters of work in physical education. The general courses in physical education embrace a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities. The aims of the required work for freshmen and sophomores are to promote a higher standard of physical fitness, to develop habits, knowledge, appreciation, and skill in desirable recreational sports, and to develop character. Students may obtain credit for the elementary required courses by passing proficiency examinations. Students who are found in their physical examinations to be physically deficient are assigned to individual training and corrective courses. I n addition, the School of Physical Education sponsors an extensive program of intramural athletics for both men and women. A student who is interested in sport of any variety, but who does not feel that he has time for varsity competition, will find in the intramural program an opportunity to participate in his chosen sport. A L L new students must take a physical examination. Before registration, an ^ appointment must be made for this examination at the University Health Service Station, and the examination is given at the time of appointment without cost to the student. New students visiting the campus may take the physical examinations when they are here. The records secured by these examinations are used in course assignments, and physically deficient individuals are subject to a careful follow-up program by the Station Staff. Health Service Station The University Health Service Station, directed by Doctor J. Howard Beard, is at the corner of W r i g h t and Green Streets, on the campus. A staff of physicians for both men and women is on duty at the Station. The work of the Health Service includes the giving of physical examinations, medical inspection, advice, conferences, and campus sanitation. All public health affairs affecting students are the special concern of the Health Station. Military Science and Tactics All male students who are citizens of the United States and physically fit, except (1) students over twenty-two years of age when entering the University and (2) students entering the University with junior standing, must register in Military Science and Tactics, and unless properly excused, must take the full basic course therein, whether they intend to graduate or not. The University Brigade consists of six units of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps: Infantry, Field Artillery, Cavalry, Engineers, Signal Corps, and Coast Artillery. A student is free to choose any branch for which his aptitude and course of study fit him. The basic course of two years of work is a general prerequisite for graduation. The final two years of work, which are optional, are called the advanced course, and students in the advanced course serve as the officers of the brigade; completion of the advanced course qualifies the candidate for a commission in the organized reserves of the United States Army. Students qualifying for the military bands substitute their work in the bands for the required work in military training. Students Mutual Benefit Association The Mutual Benefit Hospital Association provides hospital care at minimum cost to the student. Semester dues are three dollars, and members are entitled to ward care in the McKinley Hospital for a period not to exceed twenty-eight days. This Association provides room and board only, while a student is hospitalized, and makes no payment for laboratory charges and physicians' fees. McKinley Hospital The McKinley Hospital is the University Hospital and serves both students and faculty. It is a wellequipped, modern plant, located in the forestry, near the University gardens. Normally it can accommodate seventy-five patients, and the student who is ill in the hospital is assured of good care in pleasant surroundings by a physician of his own selection. Miss Kate Putnam, R.N., is the Superintendent. Entrance to the McKinley University Hospital Page 14
