Communication

Stillman Infirmary.

We invite all men in the University to submit communications on subjects of timely interest. The CRIMSON is not, however, responsible for the sentiments expressed in such communications as may be printed.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The attention of members of the University is called to the new regulation for the support of the Stillman Infirmary, whereby every student who is registered in a Cambridge department incurs thereby an infirmary charge of four dollars, which will be included in the first term-bill, payable in February. In return for this fee every student in a Cambridge department will, in case of sickness and upon the order of a physician, be admitted to the Stillman Infirmary, where he will be entitled without further charge to a bed in a ward, board, and ordinary nursing for a period not exceeding two weeks in any one academic year. Students in the Boston departments of the University and unmarried officers of instruction or administration may insure to themselves the above-named benefits, by paying the annual fee of four dollars on the day on which the first advance payment of tuition is due.

An extra charge will ordinarily be made for the use of private rooms and for special nursing; but in case of necessity these advantages will also be available for needy students admitted to the Infirmary.

Until the completion of the isolation wards, now being erected, contagious diseases cannot be treated at the Infirmary; but all cases of such diseases in the Cambridge departments of the University will be, as heretofore, under a supervision which will ensure the necessary attendance of private physicians--in the case of needy students of the Medical Visitor--and adequate care. MARSHALL H. BAILEY, M. D.   Medical Visitor.
