Because the University of Illinois is located away from any large city, its students are in the university environment and influence 24 hours a day. In this respect It has probably more "full-time" students in normal tim« than any other institution. It recognizes its responsibility in all phases of student life, outside as well a inside the classroom. It was one of the first to give prime consideration to student welfare, and the first to have a Dean of Men. Today the Dean of Men and Dean of W o m e n and other officers who devote their full attention to student problems and student life outside the classroom are co-ordinated under the Dean of Students. All undergraduate students are required to live in quarters inspected and approved by the University. On entering the University each student is given a physical examination, and his fees include membership in the University Hospital association, providing him care when he is sick.
