November  I,  1935 
To  the  President  of  the  University 
Dear  Sir: 

I  have  the  honor  to  submit,  herewith,  the  Nineteenth  Annual  Re- 
port of  the  activities  of  the  Health  Service  for  the  academic  year,  193'"1- 

1935- 

CALLS 

During  the  year  students  made  50,691  visits  to  the  Health  Ser- 
vice Station  and  Civil  Service  employees  I2U7.  In  addition,  there  wore 
2785  miscellaneous  calls  on  University  or  other  business  making  a  grand 
total  of  5U, 723»  This  includes  H/321  calls  as  a  result  of  the  required 
physical  examination  upon  entrance  anc*  l^gS   -t"°r  ro-examination« 

The  number  of  visits  per  student  registered  was  U.58,  The  men 
of  the  Class  of  1938  called  23,lU2  times,  an  average  of  7.69  visits  per 
man;  the  women  7300  or  5»56  visits  per  woman.  In  each  instanco  ono  visit 
was  for  the  required  physical  examination* 

The  visits  to  the  Health  Service  Station  tend  to  increase  with 
each  additional  student  registered.  This  is  inevitable  unless  morbidity 
rates  decrease  or  protection  to  the  health  of  the  University  population  is 
reduced.   The  only  way  to  control  contagion  or  detect  disease  in  its  in- 
cipiency  is  to  make  an  early  diagnosis.  Early  discovery  of  din ee.se  pro- 
tects the  community,  insures  the  ill  of  getting  prompt  treatment,  reducrs 
amplications,  and  returns  the  student  to  the  classroom  with  a  minimum 
loss  of  time. 


-  2  «. 

The  common  ailments  of  students  are  respiratory  infections, 
acne,  mycosis,  scabies,  minor  injuries,  gas tro- intestinal  upsets,  eye 
strain,  and  quarantinable  diseases.   These  conditions  are  usually 
readily  recognizable  and  can  be  quickly  disposed  of  by  advice  to  stu- 
dents, the  use  of  household  remedies,  or  by  reference  for  study  and 
treatment  to  a  local  doctor,  the  family  physician,  or  a  specialist. 

By  giving  its  students  unrestricted  consultation  at  the  Health 
Service  Station,  the  University  avoids  their  caring  for  themselves  at 
their  rooms,  reduces  the  likelihood  of  the  sore  throats  of  scarlet 
fever  being  prescribed  for  by  drug  clerics,  and  prevents  their  falling 
victims  to  quackery  or  spreading  communicable  disease  by  attempting  to 
treat  each  other.   Such  consultation  is  not  competition  with  local 
practitioners  but  the  means  for  the  control  of  contagion  and  getting 
sick  students  to  their  family  physician  or  to  the  local  doctor  of 
their  own  selection. 

PHYSICAL  EXAMINATION  FOR  STUDENTS 

A  total  of  U321  students  was  given  complete  physical  examina- 
tions during  the  year,  an  increase  over  last  year  of  593.  or  15 -91  Per 
cent.  Of  this  number,  3^08  were  men  and  1313  were  women,  representing 
an  increase  of  19.6  per  cent  for  men  and  8.2U  per  cent  for  women.  Ex- 
aminations were  given  to  2Ul  prospective  students  who  did  not  matriculate. 
This  necessitated  an  approximate  cost  of  $85*80.  There  seems  to  be  no 
way  to  avoid  the  expense  of  examining  high  school  students  who  expect  to

become  freshmen,  but  for  some  unforeseen  reason  do  not  do  so.   It  is 
cheaper  to  give  these  examinations  when  the  students  present  themselves 
and  request  them  during  the  sumner  than  it  would  be  to  defer  them  until 
during  registration  and  then  employ  enough  outside  physicians  to  take 
care  of  the  peak  load. 

KS  GALLS 

Of  the  new  students  examined,  1862  men  and  620  women  were  re- 
called for  conference  and  advice.  This  includes  2129  who  were  re-examined. 
Whenever  students  were  found  to  have  defects,  they  were  advised  to  consn.lt 
their  family  physicians,  specialists,  or  dentists.  In  many  instances,  stu- 
dents had  had  their  defects  of  vision  corrected  and  had  had  dentists  treat 
their  teeth  between  the  timo  they  were  examined  and  their  matriculation. 

In  addition  to  the  regular  physical  examination,  2880  students, 
2112  men  and  73^  women,  filled  out  personal  hygiene  questionnaires  which 
were  rather  complete  inventories  of  their  health,  habits,  and  mental  at- 
titudes.  These  were  studied  and  a  conference  was  had  with  each  student 
concerning  any  deviations  from  the  normal.  This  procedure  has  been  most 
helpful  in  ascertaining  the  mental  and  Physical  states  of  students,  the 
conditions  under  which  they  live,  and  their  reactions  toward  them.   It 
has  also  made  it  possible  in  many  instances  to  remove  fears,  conflicts, 
and  mental  tensions  wiiich  definitely  handicapped  them  in  their  work  and 
in  their  adjustment  to  their  environments. 

During  the  last  half  of  the  year  the  members  of  the  senior 


-  u  _ 

class  were  given  an  opportunity  to  be  re-examined  and  to  confer  with  mem- 
bers of  the  staff  concerning  their  general  health  before  assuming  posi- 
tions. Many  members  of  the  Class  of  1935  took  advantage  of  it.  On  re- 
quest, they  were  immunized  against  typhoid  fever  and  smallpox,  and  were 
given  certain  clinical  tests. 

"FOLLOW-UP" 

The  staff  of  the  Health  Service  makes  a  sustained  effort  to  fol- 
low up  students  who  are  found  to  have  physical  defects  at  the  tine  of 
their  physical  examinations  until  their  handicaps  are  removed,  or  they 
have  received  the  benefit  of  the  opinion  of  specialists  of  recognized 
authority.  By  this  procedure,  students  who  attend  the  University  not 
only  receive  an  excellent  opportunity  to  obtain  an  education  but  the 
best  that  modorn  medicine  can  provide  to  make  them  effective  units  of 
society. 

Possible  Nephritis  and  Diabetes 

A  total  of  I85  freshmen  with  albuminuria  (suggesting  possible 
nephritis)  was  observed  repeatedly  and  urinalyses  were  made  to  determine 
whether  or  not  their  conditions  were  functional  or  pathological.  Of  these, 
89.19  per  cent  had  conditions  which  seemed  to  be  of  passing  significance 
only,  while  10.81  per  cent  had  to  be  excused  from  Military  and  had  to  have 
their  physical  education  modified.  They  were  referred  to  their  family 
physicians  or  urologists  for  further  study  and  treatment. 

Of  the  U32I  urinalyses  of  students  and  lUo  of  Civil  Service  em- 
ployees at  the  time  of  their  physical  examinations,  ^>k   showed  a  oositive 


-  5  - 
test  for  sugar  of  wiiicii  51  ^-^  a  transient  glycosuria  and  three  were 
diabetic. 

Cardiac  Abnormalities 

The  maximum  safeguard  has  been  placed  around  78  students  who 
were  found  to  have  organic  disease  or  marked  functional  disturbances 
of  the  heart.  They  have  been  kept  under  observation,  have  been  re-oeat- 
edly  examined,  and  have  been  given  advice  how  to  protect  their  hearts 
against  unnecessary  strain.  Of  these,  Hi,  or  ^2<,^S   per  cent  were  ex- 
cused from  Military  and  regular  physical  education  and  were  assigned 
to  adaptive  exercises  or  special  activities.  The  condition  of  four  was 
sucn  that  required  activity  was  temporarily  or  permanently  contra- indi- 
cated because  of  its  risk. 

Preliminary  to  participation  in  athletics,  a  total  of  2587 
students  was  examined  of  which  196H  wore  men  and  623  were  women.  Of  the 
men,  six  were  rejected  permanently  on  account  of  physical  defects  which 
made  participation  in  major  athletics  extra-hazardous.   It  was  necessary 
to  defer  the  participation  of  66  men  in  major  sports  sending  further 
study  and  tests,  most  of  which  were  to  deter nine  the  normalcy  of  their 
cardiovascular  systems.   These,  however,  were  later  certified  as  able 
to  enter  athletics. 

The  work  of  the  Health  Service  in  observing  and  examining  the 
hearts  of  students  would  be  greatly  facilitated  if  it  had  access  to  an 
electrocardiograph  in  studying  the  cardiovascular  system  of  all  ath- 
letes and  students  suspected  of  heart  disease.   The  usual  methods  of 
inspection,  palpation,  percussion,  auscultation,  blood  oressure  taking 


-  6  - 
and  pulse  counting  are  inadequate  to  provide  a  complete  examination  of 
the  heart. 

Electrocardiograms  should  be  made  of  the  hearts  of  those  stu- 
dents who  have  arhythmias  or  who  give  a  history  of  acute  rheumatic  fever 
or  infections  which  may  attack  the  heart.   If  such  a  study  could  "be  made, 
a  number  of  those  students  excused  from  Military  and  disqualified  for 
regular  physical  education  or  athletics  \vould  be  able  to  participate  in 
these  subjects.  It  would  add  much  to  their  efficiency  and  t>eace  of  mind 
to  have  removed,  where  possible,  the  persistent  thought  of  having  cardiac 
disease. 

Tuberculosis 

A  group  of  20  students,  ten  of  whom  had  been  in  intimate  con- 
tact with  tuberculosis  in  their  homes  and  ten  of  whom  had  had  it  and 
had  succeeded  in  having  it  arrested  were  kept  under  observation  during 
the  year.  Under  a  proper  diet,  hygienic  regi.ne,  and  modified  activity 
all  of  them  went  through  the  year  without  showing  signs  of  active  tuber- 
culosis.  Those  contacts  who   have  increased  in  weight  and  vigor  have 
been  released  from  observation  after  being  informed  as  to  the  precautions 
they  should  exercise  at  all  times.  The  students  who  have  arrested  tuber- 
culosis will  be  kept  under  observation  throughout  their  University  careers. 

During  the  year  four  cases  of  active  t\iberculosis  were  reported 
of  which  one  was  a  graduate  student  and  assistant  on  the  faculty,  one  a. 
student  of  the  University  of  the  Class  of  1937a,  one  was  an  instructor, 
and  the  other  was  a  member  of  a  family  of  the  faculty.   The  student  with- 
drew from  the  University  and  all  of  them  are  undergoing  special  treat- 


-  7  - 

ment  in  sanatoria  or  at  their  homes  under  tae  directions  of  specialists. 
At  the  time  of  the  physical  examination,  it  was  found  that  U02 
or  13.36  per  cent  of  those  examined  were  below  the  minimum  requirements 
of  the  War  Department  for  weight  and  development  for  their  ages,  A  con- 
siderable portion  of  these  were  markedly  sub-standard  and  the  type  which 
usually  shows  an  increased  predisposition  to  tuberculosis.  Many  of  these 
have  required  special  observation  and  consideration. 

The  chests  of  students  who  are  definitely  below  par  physically 
or  give  a  history  of  contact  with  the  victims  of  tuberculosis  should  be 
examined  with  an  X-ray.   It  would  lead  to  the  saving  of  useful  lives  by 
the  diagnosis  of  tuberculosis  in  its  incipiency  when  its  arrest  is  most 
likely.   Control  of  tuberculosis  in  college  students  not  only  requires 
repeated  physical  examinations  of  the  lungs  but  tuberculin  testing  and 
stereoscopic  X~ray  studies  of  positive  reactors  with  follow-up  of  sus- 
picious cases. 

Mental  Hygiene 

Careful  consideration  has  been  given  throughout  the  year  to  the 
mental  health  of  students  and  sustained  effort  lias  been  made  to  discover 
those  who  were  suffering  mental  disturbances.  Every  student  in  the  Class 
of  1933  has  had  one  or  more  conferences  with  the  Health  Service  staff. 
Students  have  been  seen  repeatedly  who  gave  a  history  of  being  subject  to 
blues  or  worry,  had  had  a  "nervous  breakdown",  showed  a  tendency  to  be 
"shut-in",  or  were  having  difficulty  in  becoming  adjusted  to  college  life. 
A  total  of  173  stated  that  they  had  a  tendency  to  worry  and  31^  that  they 


-  8  - 
occasionally  had  the  "blues. 

A  careful  study  of  their  cases  revealed  that  their  conditions 
rarely  influenced  tueir  appetites,  prevented  sleep,  or  seemed  to  handi- 
cap them  in  their  academic  work.  With  few  exceptions,  members  of  this 
group  responded  promptly  to  advice,  financial  help,  a  rearrangement  of 
tlieir  schedules  of  living,  participation  in  extra-curricular  activities, 
and  friendly  interest. 

Altuough  defective  germ  plasm, infections, and  ooisons  may  cause 
mental  disease  and  predispose  to  functional  disturbances  of  the  mind„ 
the  greater  part  of  mental  disability  comes  out  of  unwholesome  environ- 
ment, defective  training,  and  unhappy  experience.   In  the  prevention  of 
mental  disorders  among  students,  eugenics,  psychiatry,  and  medicine  have 
contributions  to  make,  but  the  great  preventives  are  the  social,  edu- 
cational, recreational,  and  religious  organizations  which  help  students 
to  find  themselves,  give  them  financial  assistance,  and  aid  them  in  ob- 
taining an  adequate  philosophy  of  life. 

The  promotion  of  mental  health  and  the  prevention  of  the  devel- 
opment of  complexes,  phobias,  and  conflicts  are  a  cooperative  enterprise 
which  requires  sympathetic  assistance,  anticipation  of  conditions  which 
cause  mental  stress,  and  alertness  in  their  removal.  Loan  funds,  the 
F.E.R.A. ,  the  sustained  efforts  of  the  University  Employment  Agency,  the 
friendly  interest  of  faculty  members  and  administration  staff  are  potent 
factors  in  the  reduction  of  mental  tension,  the  elimination  of  emotional 
strain,  and  the  avoidance  of  mental  disturbances  in  students.

EXAMINATION  OF  STUDENTS  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY  HIGH  SCHOOL 
At  the  beginning  of  the  school  year,  79  high  school  students 
were  examined  -  3'9  boys  and  *JO  girls  -  and  57  were  re-examined,  All 
were  classified  as  to  their  physical  ability  to  take  the  prescribed 
course  in  gymnastics.   Two  had  defects  which  required  special  physical 
training  and  one  had  to  be  excused  from  physical  activity  because  of 
mitral  insufficiency  and  hypertrophy  of  the  heart  complicating  rheu- 
matic fever. 

In  this  group,  46  or  5^-23  per  cent  had  had  their  tonsils 
removed.   Of  the  total,  24,  or  30»3S  per  cent  had  suffered  severe 
injuries.   Of  those  examined,  26,  or  32-91  Per  cent,  were  unvaccinated, 
66  were  well-developed,  12  were  below  the  average,  and  one  was  poor. 
Urinalyses  showed  that  four  had  albuminuria  which  was  transitory. 

CIVIL  SERVICE  EMPLOYEES 

During  the  year,  Civil  Service  employees  made  I2U7  calls 
to  the  Health  Service  Station  of  which  l4o  were  for  physical  examina- 
tions at  the  beginning  of  employment  or  an  increase  for  the  latter  of 
U5. 83  Per  cent.  These  were  graded  as  follows;   125  good  and  15  fair. 
Of  the  new  employees,  130  of  whom  were  men  and  ten  of  whom  were  wo- 
men, 12  were  permitted  to  work  subject  to  a  waiver  of  claims  against 
the  University  arising  from  the  defects  revealed  by  their  medical 
examinations. 

Employees  of  the  University  suffered  l4l  accidents  in  the 
line  of  duty,  an  increase  of  12.80  per  cent.  A  total  of  113  required 


-  10  - 
minor  surgical  attention  as  a  result  of  their  injuries,  and  28  were  so 
severely  injured  that  they  were  referred  to  outside  surgeons,  specia- 
lists, or  radiologists  for  prolonged  treatment  or  roentgrams.  Of 
these,  four  were  hospitalized  for  a  total  of  23  days  or  an  average  of 
5.75  days  per  patient.   No  injury  resulted  in  disability  which  would 
seriously  interfere  with  the  earning  of  a  livelihood. 

COMMUNICABLE  DISEASE 

The  incidence  of  communicable  disease  during  193^-1935  re~ 

flected  the  rising  morbidity  rate  in  the  registration  area  of  the 

United  States.  A  total  of  2959  students  was  exposed  to  communicable 

disease  other  than  influenza  and  coryza,  an  increase  of  59*25  per  cent. 

Of  this  number,  351  were  held  in  quarantine  for  the  period  required  by 

law  and  330  were  permitted  to  attend  classes  under  daily  observation. 

In  Table  I  are  given  the  communicable  disease  cases  reported  in  the 

student  body  during  the  year.

-  11  - 

An  epidemic  of  German  measles  during  the  year  probably  im- 
munized most  of  the  susceptibles  in  the  student  body.  Because  this 
disease  is  very  mild,  causes  the  patient  little  inconvenience,  and 
is  many  times  not  suspected  until  the  eruption  appears,  it  is  im- 
possible to  prevent  exposures.  For  this  reason,  the  state  regula- 
tions for  quarantine  for  German  measles  are  quite  elastic.  They  keep 
the  student  with  the  disease  out  of  class  for  only  three  days  and 
placo  no  restrictions  on  contacts. 

Of  the  total  number  of  U5  quarantines  of  students  for  scar- 
let fever,  Uo  were  due  to  a  student's  having  the  disease  and  five  to 
a  member  of  the  fanily  of  the  keeper  of  the  lodging  house  having  it. 
In  only  two  instances  did  secondary  cases  of  scarlet  fever  develop  in 
a  house  under  quarantine.  Both  of  these  students  had  positive  Dick 
tests. 

Certificates  were  filed  with  the  Health  Service  by  627  stu- 
dents immune  to  infectious  diseases.  Of  this  number,  five  had  had 
smallpox,  IS  had  been  vaccinated  against  smallpox,  and  252  had  had 
scarlet  fever;  two  had  had  typhoid  fever,  32  had  been  inoculated 
against  typhoid  fever,  and  318  had  had  Dick  tests  which  were  negative. 

Of  the  832  students  exposed  to  scarlet  fever  during  the 
year,  330  had  negative  tests  and  3U3  positive.  The  latter  were  quaran- 
tined for  a  week  and  the  former  were  permitted  to  attend  class  but 
were  kept  under  daily  observation.  As  the  Dick  test  usually  leads  to

the  student's  release  from  quarantine  within  24  hours,  this  repre- 
sents a  saving  of  1980  school  days.   In  addition,  92  of  those  exposed 
had  filed  certificates  of  having  had  scarlet  fever  which  saved  them 
from  a  loss  of  a  total  of  644  school  days. 

Members  of  the  faculty  and  Civil  Service  employees  reported 
the  following  cases  of  communicable  disease  in  their  families  during 
the  year.

The  hospitals  cared  for  39^  students  with  communicable  disease 
for  a  total  of  1919  days  or  for  an  average  of  approximately  4.g4  days 
each.  Of  this  total  3^2  were  cases  of  German  neasles  occurring  mainly 
during  April  and  May  at  the  time  of  an  epidemic  of  the  disease. 

The  incidence  of  venereal  disease  in  the  student  body  re- 
mains quite  low.   Of  the  students  seen  during  the  year,  both  as  a  re- 
sult of  voluntary  celling  and  of  a  "follow-up"  on  the  basis  of  recorts, 
31  were  found  to  have  gonorrhea  end  one  was  found  to  have  syohilis.   This 
is  a  rate  of  2.59  VQr   thousand  for  the  former  and  of  .O83  for  the  latter. 


.  13  *> 

In  the  diagnosis  and  control  of  communicable  disease  2UH8  lab- 
oratory tests  were  made.   Of  these,  the  following  were  positive;   Vin- 
cent's Angina,  twenty-five;  Widal  tests,  eight;  gonorrhea,  six;  typhoid 
fever,  three;  diphtheria,  two;  syphilis,  one;  dysentery,  one;  and  tuber- 
culosis, one.  Seven  of  those  who  had  positive  Widal  tests  also  had  nega- 
tive examinations  of  feces  and  the  eighth  who  failed  to  register  was 
reported  to  the  State  Department  of  Health. 

SUPERVISION  OF  F00DHA!g)LERS 

Prospective  employees  who  would  handle  food  products,  students 
employed  as  foodhandlers  by  the  University,  and  those  enrolled  in  courses 
in  dairy  manufacturing,  lunch  room  management,  and  meat  coixrses  were  ex- 
amined to  determine  whether  or  not  they  had  communicable  disease  or  wore 
disease  carriers.  Foodhandlers  who  had  not  been  successfully  vaccinated 
against  smallpox  within  the  last  five  years  were  re-vaccinated. 

A  careful  history  as  to  communicable  disease,  particularly 
typhoid  fever  and  dysentery,  was  obtained  in  the  case  of  each  prospective 
foodhandler.   If  the  employee  or  student  gave  a  history  of  having  disease 
wiiich  might  be  transmitted  through  the  handling  of  food  or  by  eating  and 
drinking  utensils,  appropriate  bacteriological  examinations  were  made. 
Widal  tests  were  taken  as  a  routine,  and  all  foodhandlers  were  immunized 
against  typhoid  fever  in  accordance  with  University  regulations. 

During  the  year  numerous  cases  of  gastro- intestinal  upsets  in 
student  patrons  of  four  lunch  rooms  were  reported.  At  the  request  of  and 
in  cooperation  with  the  local  and  state  departments  of  health,  both  the 


-  14  - 
student  and  non-student  foodhandlers  of  these  places  were  examined  to 
determine  whether  or  not  they  were  carriers  of  dysentery  or  typhoid 
fever.   To  this  end,  35  students  and  22  non-students  were  examined. 

In  cooperation  with  Director  Bracken  of  the  Student  Employment 
Bureau,  a  large  number  of  students  was  given  foodhandlers'  examinations 
prior  to  their  being  certified  to  jobs  as  waiters,  cooks,  or  dishwashers. 
This  procedure  strengthens  very  materially  the  safeguards  against  pos- 
sible disease  carriers  becoming  sources  of  epidemics. 

The  following  table  shows  the  number  and  distribution  of  the 

foodhandlers  examined  who  were  in  the  employ  of  and  taking  courses  in 

the  University.   In  this  group  of  employees  and  students,  there  was  an 

increase  of  6.25  per  cent  over  last  year,  a  part  of  which  was  due  to 

the  opening  of  the  University  High  School  Cafeteria.

The  presidents  and  commissaries  of  all  organized  houses  and 

the  proprietors  of  all  boarding  clubs,  lunch  rooms,  and  refectories 

catering  to  student  trade  have  been  urged  to  give  their  patrons  the 

sane  scientific  protection  against  disease  carriers  as  that  provided  by 

the  University  for  patrons  of  its  food  distributing  agencies.  Many 

houses  and  some  eating  places  have  responded  to  this  advice  and  to  this 

extent  have  increasedthe  safeguards  of  the  health  of  the  University 


-  15  - 
population  and  of  the  citizens  of  the  Twin  Cities.   Consequently,  1U7S 
Widal  tests  and  239  bacteriological  examinations  of  the  excreta  were 
made  on  student  waiters,  dishwashers,  and  cooks. 

The  above  cooperation  was  entirely  voluntary  and  offered  a 
considerable  protection  because  not  only  were  the  carrier  states  de- 
termined, but  the  kitchen  and  dining  room  help  were  immunized  against 
both  typhoid  fever  and  smallpox.   This  is  an  advantage  to  the  student 
who  has  to  support  himself,  to  the  community,  and  to  the  group  which 
he  serves.   These  tests  should  be  applied  to  foodhandlers  of  all  lunch 
rooms  catering  to  student  patronage.   Unfortunately  there  are  no  or- 
dinances enforced  in  the  two  towns  requiring  a  health  standard  for 
persons  handling  food. 

HOSPITALIZATION 

The  McZinley  Hospital  cared  for  2,350  students  for  a  total 
of  8273  days,  an  average  of  3*52  days  per  patient,  which  is  in  marked 
contrast  to  fourteen  years  ago  when  the  average  hospitalization  was 
7.25  days.   The  rising  morbidity  in  the  country  at  large  is  clearly 
reflected  in  an  increase  of  60.96  per  cent  in  patients  admitted  and 
U9.76  per  cent  in  hospital  days.   This  fact  is  further  emphasized  by 
all  the  hospitals  together  serving  53*52  per  cent  more  students  this 
year  than  last. 

Of  the  10,365  students  registered  at  Urbana  during  the 
first  and  second  semester,  22.67  per  cent  or  one  out  of  every  U.Ul 
enrolled,  was  hospitalized  at  the  University  Hospital.   In  1920-21, 


-  16  - 
only  about  one  student  in  Uo  was  admitted  to  the  hospital.   Since  all 
students  who  enter  the  hospital  are  attended  by  local  physicians,  this 
increased  hospitalization  and  decreased  average  stay  of  the  student 
have  an  important  relationship  to  the  successful  practice  of  medicine  in 
Champa ign-Urb ana,   student  health,  loss  of  time  from  classes,  and  the 
need  of  hospital  facilities. 

While  the  average  stay  of  a  student  in  the  hospital  has  been 
short  and  we  have  been  able  to  get  them  into  the  hospital  with  consid- 
erable promptness,  we  nave  been  handicapped  by  the  fact  that  many  stu- 
dents who  became  ill  were  not  members  of  the  Hospital  Association,  had 
only  small  funds  for  medical  care,  and  were  therefore  very  reluctant 
to  seek  admission.   Such  a  situation  promotes  the  spread  of  communicable 
disease  and  the  occurrence  of  epidemics  because  such  sick  students  will 
not  seek  the  advice  of  a  physician  until  they  become  quite  ill  or  their 
condition  becomes  so  alarming  that  the  doctor  is  called  by  their  room- 
mates or  landladies.   In  the  meantime,  many  contacts  have  been  made  and 
infection  has  been  spread. 

The  Burnham  and  Mercy  Hospitals  ad  ait ted  203  students  for  a 
total  of  103^  days,  an  average  of  5*09  days  per  patient.   It  should  be 
noted  that  students  remain  or.  the  average  about  a  day  and  a  half  longer 
in  other  local  hospitals  than  in  the  McKlnley  Hospital.   This  is  due  to  ■ 
the  fact  that  McKinley  Hospital  does  not  admit  patients  known  to  require 
surgery,  more  particularly  major  surgery.   The  McKinley  Hospital  cared

for  92.05  per  cent  of  all  students  hospitalized  and  the  other  hospitals 
only  7*95  per  cent,  but  the  latter  had  the  benefit  of  11.11  per  cent  of 
the  student  patronage  in  hospital  days. 

Students,  faculty  members,  and  employees  joining  the  voluntary 
Mutual  Hospital  Association  during  the  first  semester  numbered  4026  and 
the  second  semester,  3^57  which  were  respectively  '41. 56  per  cent  and 
41.79  Per  cent  of  the  student  enrollment  for  each  semester,  193^-1935° 
The  usual  rise  in  illnesses  associated  with  winter  and  early  spring 
increased  admissions  to  the  hospitals  during  the  second  semester  over 
those  of  the  first  by  20.66  per  cent,  but  memberships  in  the  Hospital 
Association  for  the  second  semester  decreased  oy   4.19  per  cent  which 
approximated  the  4.74  decrease  in  enrollment.  Hospital  memberships, 
particularly  those  of  the  second  semester,  must  be  increased  if  control 
of  communicable  disease  among  students  is  to  be  effective  and  if  they 
are  to  receive  the  benefits  of  modern  medicine  when  sick. 

CHOICE  OF  ATTEITOI1TG-  PHYSICIANS 
During  tue  year  2,553  students  were  admitted  to  the  local  hos- 
pitals.  Of  this  number  499  v/ent  from  the  Health  Service  Station  to  be 
created  by  local  physicians  of  their  own  choice,  and  205'4  were  sent  to 
the  hospitals  by  the  local  doctors  themselves.   The  499  students  who 
went  to  the  hospitals  from  the  Health,  Service  chose  51  different  doc- 
tors to  care  for  them.   Except  in  two  or  three  instances  where  the  reason 
is  obvious,  the  students  who  went  to  the  hosoitals  from  the  Health  Service 


-  18  - 
Station  and  those  who  were  sent  to  the*  "oy   local  physicians  proportion- 
ately show  little  variation  in  their  selection  of  a  medical  attendant. 
This  shows  conclusively  students  are  exercising  their  inalienable  right 
to  select  their  own  doctors. 

CHAUFF3URS '  EXAMINATIONS  AND  CAP,  PEEK ITS 
A  total  of  52  faculty  members  and  employees  who  were  to  drive 
University  automobiles  was  examined  with  special  reference  to  their 
acuity  of  vision,  color-blindness,  hearing,  reflex  action,  and  their 
general  health.  Because  of  marked  defects  of  vision,  it  was  necessary 
to  recommend  that  four  prospective  drivers  have  their  eyes  examined  and 
that  four  be  re-examined  and  required  to  wear  glasses.  The  vision  of 
all  applicants  was  above  the  minimum  recommended  by  the  Committee  on 
Physical  Standards  for  Drivers  of  Motor  Vehicles  of  the  Section  on 
Ophthalmology  of  the  American  Medical  Association. 

In  all,  12  students  requesting  permits  from  the  Committee  on 
Student  Affairs  for  the  use  of  a  -notor  vehicle  on  the  basis  of  physical 
disability  were  examined.   Of  these,  five  were  found  to  have  physical  de- 
fects sufficiently  handicapping  to  make  the  use  of  a  car  to  attend  classes 
desirable.   Six  were  able  to  attend  classes  without  a  car  and  one  was 
physically  unable  to  drive.   The  reasons  for  recommendation  of  the  grant- 
ing of  permits,  most  of  which  v/ere  terseorary  and  for  the  protection  of 
the  student,  were  as  follows:  knee  injury,  one;  infantile  paralysis,  two; 
recuperation  from  temporary  illness,  one;  recuperation  from  operation,  one. 


-  19  - 

COOPERATION  WITH  THE  DEPARTMENTS  OF  MILITARY  AM)  PHYSICAL  EDUCATION 

During  the  year,  271  uen  were  assigned  to  Individual  Gymnastics 
for  special  physical  training.  Because  of  marked  physical  abnormalities 
or  organic  diseases,  13  students  were  classified  as  unable  to  take  either 
Physical  Education  or  Military.   Their  conditions  were  such  as  to  make 
it  too  great  a  risk  or  discomfort  to  require  any  form  of  activity  of 
them.  Of  these,  two  had  diabetes,  three  were  badly  paralyzed,  two  had 
marked  organic  heart  disease,  one  had  amputated  extremities,  one  had 
marked  albuminuria,  one  had  arrested  tuberculosis,  one  had  a  draining 
fistula  of  the  left  thorax,  one  had  recurrent  pneumo- thorax,  and  one 
had  ankylosis  of  the  hip. 

A  total  of  70  students  was  given  tenporary  excuses  from  Mili- 
tary, Physical  Education,  or  both:  20  from  Military  and  Physical  Educa- 
tion, 26  from  Military  only,  and  2U  from  Physical  Education.   They  had 
undergone  recent  operations,  were  convalescent,  or  had  lost  so  much 
time  on  account  of  illness  that  they  were  unable  to  complete  satisfactor- 
ily the  work  for  the  semester. 

In  the  course  of  the  year,  JO^   prescriptions  were  issued  to 
students  whose  physical  conditions  made  it  desirable  for  them  to  change 
irom  one  course  in  Physical  Education  to  another  or  to  modify  their  pro- 
grams of  exercise.  3y  this  procedure  students  who  had  sinusitis,  infec- 
tions of  the  middle  ear,  or  perforation  of  the  drum  were  transferred  from 
swimming,  which  would  aggravate  their  conditions,  to  a  form  of  exercise 
without  an  unusual  hazard.  By  such  transfers  those  who  had  ringworm  of 


«.  20  - 
the  feet,  boils,  or  who  had  -undergone  operations  were  able  to  take 
exercise  with  a  minimum  of  risk  of  injury  and  with  maximum  protection 
to  their  associates  against  infection. 

A  total  of  112  students  was  permanently  excused  from  Military 
because  of  their  failure  to  meet  the  minimum  requirements  of  the  Medical 
Department  of  the  Army;  28  students  below  the  minimum  physical  require- 
ttents  for  commission  but  who  desired  to  take  Military  were  assigned  to 
it.  Their  physical  conditions  were  such  that  they  could  undergo  training 
without  undue  risk. 

At  the  request  of  the  Military  Department,  the  Health  Service 
administered  I+65  doses  of  vaccine  to  155  stiidents  to  immunize  them 
against  typhoid  fever.  Those  students  who  were  unvaccinated  against  small- 
pox and  those  whose  scars  were  more  than  five  years  old  were  vaccinated 
preparatory  to  their  going  to  camps  for  members  of  the  Reserve  Officers 
Training  Corps.  Our  laboratory  made  3^0  urinalyses  upon  students  who 
were  being  given  special  physical  examinations  oy   members  of  the  Medical 
Corps  of  the  Army  in  connection  with  their  registration  for  advanced 
Mill  tary  work. 

SANITATION 
The  Health  Service  has  done  its  best  to  insure  students  sanitary 
living  conditions  by  making  inspections  on  the  campus,  in  student  lodging 
houses,  boarding  clubs,  lunch  rooms,  and  refectories.   Complaints  have 
been  investigated  to  determine  the  cleanliness  and  healthfulness 


-  21  - 

of  the  environment  in  whicu  students  live.  Daily  reports  have  been  re- 
ceived concerning  the  condition  of  the  swimming  pools  and  water  supply. 
Insanitary  conditions  and  fire  hazards  have  "been  reported  to  the  Droper 
local  authorities,  and  lack  of  tidiness  and  cleanliness  has  been  called 
to  the  attention  of  landladies  and  "DroprietorSr 

Lodging  House  Inspection 
During  the  past  year  inspections  of  student  lodging  houses  were 
made  as  part  of  an  F.E.R.A.  project.   Its  results  may  be  summarized  as 
follows: 

1.  Tne  revision  of  the  map  of  the  student  district  (the  map  was  made 
to  include  tiie  territory  bounded  on  the  north  by  Church  Street, 
on  the  east  by  Race  Street,  on  the  south  by  Florida  Avenue  and 
Gregory  Drive,  and  on  the  west  by  the  Illinois  Central  Railroad) 
was  completed  and  brought  up  to  date.   This  involved  a  survey  of 
the  student  district  to  determine  the  general  improvements,  changes 
in  the  buildings,  location  of  wells,  the  number  of  outside  toilets, 
sanitary  conditions,  and  fire  hazards. 

2.  An  inspection  was  made  of  each  lodging  house  and  data  were  col- 
lected and  recorded  concerning  eacn  room,  the  house,  and  the 
premises.  All  serious  defects  which  were  noticed  were  called  to 
tne  attention  of  the  proper  local  authorities.  Repeated  visits 
were  made  to  check  fire  hazards  and  to  note  the  progress  of  im- 
provements whicu  were  suggested  by  state  and  local  authorities. 

3«  The  data  obtained  on  the  conditions  and  capacities  of  the  lodging 
houses  revealed  the  following  facts.

The  general  sanitation  of  the  living  quarters  of  students  is 
good  both  in  the  organized  and  unorganized  houses.  Tidiness  and  cleanli- 
ness are  qualities  subject  to  sudden  changes  hat  with  few  exceptions, 
lodging  house  keepers  are  endeavoring  to  maintain  rooms  which  are  a  credit 
to  themselves  and  will  attract  desirable  roomers.

Lunch  Rooms  and  Soft  Drink  Parlors 
The  University  is  very  much  handicapped  in  dealing  with  the 
conditions  under  wnich  the  students  live  "because  of  the  fact  that  it  has 
no  police  power  in  the  local  municipalities.   This  situation,  however, 
can  he  and  has  been  improved  from  time  to  time  by  calling  the  attention 
of  the  local  boards  of  health  to  insanitary  conditions.  Progress  also 
has  been  made  by  education  as  to  the  danger  of  unpasteurized  milk,  the 
patronage  of  insanitary  lunch  rooms,  and  the  failure  to  supervise  food- 
handlers. 

Efforts  have  been  made  throughout  the  year  to  encourage  eating 
places  and  conf  ectionarios  about  the  campus  to  adopt  satisfactory  Standards 
of  Sanitation.   This  would  be  of  great  assistance  in  the  prevention  r.nd 
control  of  communicable  diseases,  particularly  respiratory  infections 
among  students  and  citizens  of  the  community.   The  adoption  of  the  follow- 
ing minimum  requirements  has  been  urged. 

1.  SANITATION 

The  lunch  room,  kitchen,  equipment,  and  cooking,  serving,  and 
eating  utensils  shall  be  clean. 

2.  STERILIZATION 

The  lunch  room  shall  have  ample  facilities  to  provide  boiling 
water  to  insure  tne  sterilization  of  eating  and  drinking  utensils 
after  eacn  separate  use. 

3.  MILK 

The  milk  sold  shall  be  from  healthy,  tuberculin- tested  cors,  pro- 
duced under  sanitary  conditions,  pasteurized,  and  served  in  bottles. 

U.  FOOD 

The  food  used  shall  be  fresh,  sound,  unadulterated,  and  orotected 
against  contamination  from  dirt,  insects,  rats,  and  mice. 


-  2U- 

5.  PERSONNEL 

All  foodhandlers  shall  be  neatly  attired  and  careful  of  their 
personal  cleanliness,  shall  he  medically  examined  to  preclude  the  pos- 
sibility of  their  being  carriers  of  disease,  shall  be  immunized  against 
smallpox  and  typhoid  fever,  and  shall  not  be  permitted  to  handle  food 
when  suffering  from  either  respiratory  or  intestinal  disease. 

6.  INSPECT I ON 

Inspection  shall  be  at  freqiient  intervals  to  insure  that  sani- 
tation, the  health  of  personnel,  the  sterilization  of  eating  and  drink- 
ing utensils,  and  the  wholesomeness  of  the  milk  and  food  arc  maintained. 

Swimming  Pools 

The  swimming  pools  of  the  University  have  been  maintained  in  a 
good  sanitary  condition  throughout  the  year.   "7ith  the  fine  cooperation 
of  the  staff  of  the  State  Water  Survey,  the  Sanitary  Engineer  of  the 
University,  and  the  Departments  of  Physical  Education,  the  users  of  the 
pools  have  been  required  to  observe  the  standard  sanitary  regulations 
for  swimmers.  Daily  bacteriological  tests  have  been  made,  and  thn  re- 
.liual  chlorine  of  the  water  has  been  determined  twice  a  day.   The  loads 
o£    the  pools  have  been  controlled,  and  systematic  efforts  have  been 
made  to  care  for  the  pools  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Ameri- 
can Public  Health  Association  and  Conference  of  State  Sanitary  Engineers. 

Colon  bacilli  were  found  during  the  year  In  three  of  the  samples 
of  water  taken  daily  from  the  pools  for  examination.  A  total  of  18  high 
counts  of  bacteria  was  noted.  These  occurrences,  upon  investigation, 
were  found  usually  to  be  due   to  some  temporary  mechanical  difficulty, 
life-saving  practice  in  street  clothes,  over-loads,  or  other  factors 
whicii  were  readily  controlled  by  appropriate  action.

Sanitary  Improvements  on  the  Campus 
Under  your  authorization  and  t.Ae  hi  ,..ly  efficient  direction 
of  Messrs.  friaries  5.  Havens,  John  Doak,  and  Sanitary  Engineer,  H.  L. 
White,  the  University  has  made  great  progress  on  the  campus  towards 
setting  an  example  of  sanitation  commensurate  with  the  ideals  of  its 
teaching.   Dangerous  cross-connections  have  been  removed.  Plumbing 
likely  to  back  siphonage  has  been  changed  or  controlled  by  appropriate 
valves.   The  mattress  sterilizer  has  been  placed  in  the  McKinley  Hos- 
pital, therby  doing  away  with  the  inconvenience,  danger,  and  expense 
of  hauling  contaminated  articles  to  the  Power  Plant  for  sterilization. 
New  wells  have  been  sunk,  which,  in  construction,  are  hygienically 
correct.   The  water  supply  has  been  improved  and  increased.  Many  drink- 
ing fountains  have  been  changed  to  a  type  generally  recognized  as  sani- 
tary and  safe. 

Tnese  improvements  are  a  great  protection  to  the  University 
population  and  to  tae  many  callers  who  visit  the  caamus.   They  are  even 
more  valuable  as  continuous  demonstration  before  the  leaders  of  tocrorrow 
of  what  sanitary  science  has  to  contribute  to  public  welfare.   They  are 
a  challenge  to  students  to  seek  such  modern  means  for  the  prevention  of 
disease  and  tue  promotion  of  health  in  their  o:vn  communities. 

COOPERATION  WITH  ATTENDING  PHYSIC IANS 
The  cooperation  of  local  doctors  and  other  physicians  in  the 
state  in  caring  for  the  students  has  been  most  generous  and  helpful.   A 
total  of  386  letters  has  been  received  at  the  Health  Service  Station  con- 


~  26  - 
cerning  the  physical  conditions  of  students  who  are  or  have  been  for-rer 
patients  of  the  doctors.   In  addition,  family  physicians  have  certified 
that  23  students  were  immune  to  smallpox,  252  have  had  scarlet  fever,  and 
66U  have  been  given  the  Dick  test.   This  assistance  is  of  great  value  in 
advising  students  because  it  provides  additional  information  as  to  their 
medical  histories. 

LABORATORY  SERVICE 
The  following  table  shows  the  necessary  laboratory  service 
given  students  and  employees  during  the  year,  a  part  of  which  was  essen- 
tial in  oiaking  effective  the  regulation  of  the  University  concerning  food* 
handlers.

FIRST  AID 

A  total  of  103  first  aid  cabinets  is  being  maintained  in  the 
various  buildings  on  the  campus.  They  are  much  used  and  are  visited 
weekly  or  twice  weekly,  depending  upon  their  location,  to  reioloce  sup- 
plies as  needed. 

During  the  year  a  second  survey  (the  first  was  fifteen  years  ago) 


-  27  - 
was  made  of  the  methods  in  use  for  the  first  aid  treatment  of  hums.   To 
this  end  the  opinions  of  the  leading  industrial  physicians,  elastic  sur- 
geons, professors  of  surgery,  and  dermatologists  of  the  state  and  nation 
were  obtained  as  to  the  best  procedures  for  laymen  to  follow  in  rendering 
first  aid  to  those  who  are  burned.  With  their  views  as  a  basis  and  through 
the  fine  cooperation  of  Professor  Roger  Adans  and  his  associates,  it  lias 
been  possible  to  standardize  the  giving  of  first  aid  to  those  who  are 
burned  in  the  cnemical  laboratories.   The  new  method  employed  removes  the 
danger  of  poisoning  where  burns  are  extensive,  gives  prompt  relief,  does 
not  interfere  with  more  extensive  treatment  at  the  hospital,  and  is  in 
accord  with  the  consensus  of  opinion  of  the  leading  specialists  in  indus- 
trial medicine. 

HEALTH  EDUCATION 
A  study  of  the  health  education  of  high  school  graduates  was 
made  under  the  supervision  of  Dr.  John  R.  Cain  as  a  part  of    F.E.R.A. 
Project  No.  C-l .   The  findings  warrant  the  assertion  that  unless  public 
school  systems  provide  our  leading  citizens  of  tomorrow  with  more  and 
better  information  with  which  to  preserve  their  health,  to  protect  their 
faiiilies,  and  to  function  as  intelligent  members  of  a  complex  society, 
many  needless  deaths  will  occur,  much  unnecessary  suffering  will  have  to 
be  borne,  and  quackery  will  thrive.   The  data  obtained  indicate  the  gen- 
eral knowledge  of  health  facts  is  such  that  the  application  of  sanitary 
science  and  preventive  medicine  will  be  greatly  retarded  and  in  many  in- 
stances, lost,  regardless  of  the  success  of  research,  the  generosity  of 


-  28  ~ 

philanthropy,  or  taxation  for  the  com  on  good. 

The  statements  of  a  total  of  2,220  high  school  graduates  were 
studied.   Of  these,  37  or  l.Gj   per  cent  returned  questionnaires  which  were 
too  incomplete  to  be  of  any  val\ie.   From  Tables  VII  and  VIII  it  is  seen 
that  153  or  only  seven  per  cent  of  the  remaining  2183  "'ho  furnished  the  data 
requested  had  had  hygiene  in  high  school,  and  all  of  these  ™ere  taught 
by  teachers  who  were  giving  instruction  in  other  subjects.

U2.20 

A  little  more  than  half  of  the  2183  high  school  graduates  had 
had  biology,  but  of  these,  368  or  30. 51  per  cent  had  been  taught  by 
teachers  also  giving  instruction  in  some  other  subject.   The  amount  of 


-  29  - 

health  education  which  high  school  pupils  receive  through  "biology  will 
vary  with  the  instructor  and  the  textbook  used,  but  it  is  usually  alto- 
gether inadequate  for  tae  responsibilities  they  will  have  to  assune  in 
life. 

Only  U50  or  21.99  per  cent  of  high  school  graduates  had  had 
physiology  in  high  school  and  more  than  half  of  these  were  taught  by 
teachers  who  gave  instruction  in  one  or  more  other  subjects.   Where  a 
high  school  instructor  teacnes  several  subjects,  it  is  impossible  to  say 
in  which  one  his  primary  interest  lies.  However,  as  a  general  rale  he  is 
better  prepared  to  teach  English,  mathematics,  or  history  than  either 
hygiene  or  physiology.  Because  physiology  is  the  science  of  organic  func- 
tion, it  is  frequently  taught  with  little  or  no  emphasis  upon  personal 
hygiene,  no  consideration  of  sanitation,  and  no  discussion  of  the  control 
of  communicable  disease. 

General  Science  is  increasing  in  popularity  as  an  elective  sub- 
ject in  high  school.   Of  the  2183  registrants  studied,  126U  or  57*9  per 
cent  took  it  in  high  school.  This  subject  is  a  nixture  of  -ohysics,  chemis- 
try, biology,  physiology,  and  nutrition.   As  health  education  for  high 
school  pupils,  the  vast  majority  of  whom  will  go  no  farther  with  their  edu- 
cation after  graduation,  it  offers  samrtles  of  the  health  education  they 
should  have  but  is  entirely  insufficient  to  prepare  them  for  the  responsi- 
bilities they  will  have  to  assume  in  their  homes  and  in  their  conmunities. 
Of  the  teacuing  in  general  science,  1-i2.2  per  cent  was  given  by  teachers 
giving  instruction  in  other  subjects. 


-  30  - 

Physics  was  taken  in  high  school  "by  133&  or  6l.2  per  cent  and 
chemistry  "by  1250  or  57.26  per  cent.   These  subjects  are  often  taught 
by  the  same  instructor  who  gives  his  entire  tine  to  them.   In  many  high 
schools,  students  have  to  take  a  certain  amount  of  science  to  meet  the 
requirements  for  graduation,  but  chemistry,  uhysics,  or  both  are  frequent- 
ly considered  as  satisfying  this  standard.   It  is  possible,  therefore, 
for  cupils  to  graduate  from  high  school  without  having  had  biology, 
hygiene,  or  physiology  although  neither  chemistry  nor  physics  provides 
them  witn  substantial  knowledge  of  even  the  elements  of  personal  and  com- 
munity health. 

An  examination  of  Table  IX  reveals  that  of  the  2183  high  school 
graduates -studied  not  one  of  them  had  been  taught  hygiene  by  a  teacher  who 
gave  his  entire  time  to  the  subject.   Of  the  153  pupils  who  hed  taken 
hygiene  only  lU  received  instruction  in  it  in  connection  with  biology  or 
physiology.  A  total  of  12U  or  81. 05  per  cent  had  been  taught  by  teachers 
of  physical  education.

The  practice  of  drafting  whoever  might  he  willing  to  attempt  to 
teach  hygiene  and  sanitation  1.  clearly  shown  by  the  fact  that  teachers  of 
English,  mathematics,  posies,  history,  agriculture,  physiography,  and 
chemistry  were  given  an  opportunity  to  instruct  high  school  students  in 
preventive  medicine.   Special  training  in  these  subjects  doos  not  provide 
a  teacher  with  an  adequate  background  to  give  instruction  in  personal  and 
community  health. 


-  32  - 

The  greater  part  of  the  small  group  of  high  school  graduates 
who  have  had  some  instruction  in  health  education  received  it  from  their 
instructors  in  physical  training  as  occasional  talks  on  personal  hygiene. 
Many  of  the  athletic  directors  who  are  in  charge  of  physical  education 
have  had  elementary  courses  in  anatomy,  physiology,  and  hygiene.   If 
they  were  permitted  to  give  their  undivided  attention  to  health  edu- 
cation, they  should  do  as  creditable  wori:  as  the  teachers  of  Dhysiology 
or  biology.   They,  however,  have  other  activities  and  are  faced  with  the 
stern  necessity  of  producing  winning  teans  or  hunting  for  another  job 
with  which  to  support  their  families.   Under  such  circumstances,  they 
are  too  busy  to  give  hygiene  the  attention  its  importance  demands. 

PROFICIENCY  TESTS 

A  total  of  139  students  passed  the  proficiency  tests  in  hygiene 

and  received  credit  in  it.   Their  distribution  in  the  various  colleges  of 

the  University  and  geographically  in  the  state  is  given  in  Tables  X  and

By  offering  students  an  opportunity  to  take  a  proficiency  exan- 
ination  in  hygiene  at  the  beginning  of  each  semester,  the  University  is 
obtaining  three  very  important  results: 


-  3U- 

1.  a  reduction  in  its  teaching  load, 

2.  the  avoidance  of  requiring  a  student  to  take  a  subject  of  which  he 
may  already  have  a  good  working  knowledge,  and 

3.  the  promotion  of  health  education  in  the  prinary  and  secondary 
schools  of  the  state  where  it  is  very  much  needed. 

INSTRUCTION  IN  HYGIENE 

For  the  first  semester  elementary  hygiene  and  sanitation  was 
taught  to  I565  students  of  which  1172  were  men  and  393  women.   This  was  an 
increase  of  13*^1  Ver   cent  over  the  enrollment  of  the  first  scraster  of 
last  year.   The  registration  for  the  second  semester  was  9U0  men  and  375 
women,  a  total  of  1315*  For  this  period,  the  increase  was  IS. 68  per  cent 
over  that  of  last  year.   In  all,  there  were  20  sections  for  men  during 
the  first  semester  and  19  sections  the  socond  while  the  women  were  taught 
in  seven  sections  each  semester. 

The  teaching  load  in  elementary  hygiene  has  increased  with 
each  rise  in  registration  until  the  sections  are  too  large  for  the  best 
work  in  discuss ion- qui 2  instruction  which  is  essential  in  a  subject  of 
this  type.   While  the  number  passing  the  proficiency  tests  should  increase- 
as  time  goes  on,  the  above  data  on  health  education  in  the  high  schools 
of  the  state  will  hardly  justify  the  assumption  that  the  teaching  load 
in  hygiene  in  the  University  will  be  materially  reduced  by  better  teach- 
ing of  the  subject  in  the  secondary  schools  in  the  near  future. 

The  advanced  course  in  hygiene  for  coaches,  physical  education 
majors,  and  teachers  had  a  very  marked  increase  in  registration.   The 
enrollment  which  last  year  was  *+8  students  was  this  year  1U9  or  an  in- 
crease of  210. k2   per  cent.   The  absorption  of  this  additional  work  in 
the  presence  of  an  increased  registration  in  elementary  hygiene  has 
taxed  the  staff  to  the  utmost.

STUDENT  DEATHS 
I  deeply  regret  to  report  that  13  students  died  during  the 
year.  Of  these  two  were  killed  in  automobile  accidents  during  the  Slim- 
mer "between  the  regular  sessions  of  the  University.   The  causes  of  death 
are  as  given  in  Table  XII.

*0f  this  group,  19  were  automobile  accidents. 


-  36- 

It  should  be  noted  that  27. lU  per  cent  of  student  mortality 
during  the  last  ten  years  has  been  caused  by  automobile  accidents  and 
that  such  accidents  are  about  four  times  that  of  any  other  cause  of 
death.   Students  who  die  while  at  the  University  are  of  an  age  of  20.92 
years.  Automobiles,  tnerefore,  are  not  only  accountable  for  one-fourth 
of  the  deaths  but  are  killing  promising  young  men  and  women  at  an  age 
when  the  maximum  expenditure  for  their  training  is  being  made,  thus  asking 
them  practically  a  total  economic  and  social  loss. 

EXTENSION  WORK 

At  the  request  of  the  Director  of  the  University  Extension  Ser- 
vice, a  course  called  Hygiene  x3  has  been  offered.   At  present  it  has  a 
registration  of  four  students.   The  quality  of  work  so  far  presented  by 
those  taking  it  is  very  gratifying.   If  a  greater  enrollment  should  oc- 
cur, this  course  should  prove  a  means  for  students  to  render  themselves 
proficient  in  hygiene,  and  it  should  become  an  important  factor  in  the 
education  of  the  public  in  sanitary  science  and  preventive  medicine. 

Thirty-three  citizens  of  the  state  have  requested  information 
on  various  aspects  of  public  health  and  approximately  350  bulletins  and 
pamphlets  have  been  sent  to  them.  A  great  many  of  these  went  to  students 
or  teachers  of  classes  on  health  education  especially  interested  in  im- 
proving their  knowledge  of  personal  and  public  health. 

The  members  of  the  Medical  Staff  of  the  Health  Service  have 
filled  35  speaking  engagements  and  have  given  20  radio  talks.   The  lat- 
ter were  presented  in  conjunction  with  radio  station  W-I-L-L.   Both 


-  37  - 
dealt  witn  the  historical  development  of  oublic  health  and  with  various 

■chases  of  preventive  aedicine. 

CHANGES  AFFECT IU&  THE  HEALTH  SERVICE 

During-  tne  year,  a  number  of  conditions  increased  the  demands 
upon  the  Health  Service:   (l)  A  rising  morbidity  rate  throughout  the 
country  and  a  substantial  increase  in  the  occurrence  of  communicable 
diseases,  (2)  an  increase  of  lU.72  per  cent  in  new  students,  Us.?3  Per 
cent  in  examinations  of  Civil  Service  employees,  and  Ji&.JO   Per  cent 
in  students  participating  in  athletics,  (3)  an  annual  increase  of  15*76 
per  cent  in  freshman  uyjieno  and  210.^2  per  cent  in  advanced  hygiene, 
(U)  additional  clerical  and  stenographic  services  in  the  ©reparation 
of  complicated  time  summaries,  such  as  were  used  under  the  F.E.E.A. , 
(5)  an  increasing  tendency  of  the  public  to  seek  inmur.ization  against 
smallpox  and  typnoid  fever,  (6)  clinical  and  laboratory  examinations  of 
those  engaged  in  aandling  food  products  for  the  University,  and  an  in- 
vestigation of  epidemic  enteritis  in  students  in  cooper? tion  with  the 
local  and  state  Boards  of  Health,  (7)  special  attention  to  the  cental 
health  of  freshmen  who  always  reauire  greater  consideration  than  upper- 
classmen,  and  (3)  an  increasing  number  of  requests  for  health  informa- 
tion, speaking  engagements,  and  radio  talks. 

Under  sucn  circumstances  the  Health  Service  has  load  a  most 
busy  year  and  has  had  to  pursue  a  policy  of  ri-.^id  economy.   While  no 


-  38  - 
service  necessary  to  control  disease  among  students  has  "been  omitted, 
many  foctors  over  which  it  has  had  no  control  have  operated  to  increase 
demands  upon  its  staff  and  budget  so  that  it  would  have  "been  at  a  great 
disadvantage  in  rendering  highly  efficient  service  and  in  using  every 
effective  means  to  prevent  the  spreading  of  disease  in  the  University 
population  had  not  its  personnel  been  willing  to  add  materially  to  their 
regular  work.
