SUPERVISION OF HEALTH The health of the University is under the general supervision of the Professor of Hygiene. On May 2, 1916, the Faculty passed the following vote:"That every student registering for the first time in Harvard College shall be examined physically at the beginning of the academic year." As the result of this examination of the new students it is possible to advise students as to their physical needs and to maintain proper oversight over any student who is physically deficient. The Professor of Hygiene is available to all students for consultation and advice. In addition the University appoints a Medical Adviser and Consultant to whom prompt reports of illness are made, who makes sure that medical attendance is provided if it be needed, and whose own services are available, without charge, for those who cannot afford to employ a private physician. The University also makes the following additional provisions for the health of its members: supervision of all dormitories by the Regent and Proctors; sanitary inspection of grounds and buildings; sanitary inspection of the University dining halls and frequent routine examinations of milk and other food stuffs; abundant facilities for physical exercise and athletic sports (see pp. 856, 857); a prescribed program of exercise and hygiene lectures for Freshmen (see page 855); a system of prescribed physical examinations for those who enter the organized athletic contests; and, finally, an excellent Infirmary, designed to meet every demand made upon it for medical or surgical treatment, including the isolation of contagious cases.
