Although the fear of a cholera infection has practically passed by for this fall, its threatened invasion of our country naturally leads us, as it has led all other communities to regard our facilities for treatment of sick patients. While we may not at present fear any serious trouble, there is always the possibility of infectious diseases and the college ought to have facilities to take care of them. Our resources today for caring for sick patients are far from being adequate and consist merely of a small and badly arranged building on Holmes Field, a building used a few years ago by the Glee Club and totally inadequate for the purposes it now tries to fulfill. To be sure the building has been partially refitted and it serves as an apology for a hospital which is really unfit for any case of a serious disease. The rooms are few and small there are no conveniences or comforts and only a very small number of patients can be accommodated. If there should be a serious outbreak of any kind we would be placed in an awkward position. What we need and what should be provided is a respectable hospital, large enough to accommodate a fair number of men and provided with facilities for their comfort. We do not need an expensive building, but a wooden hospital large and convenient and well arranged may some day prove necessary.
