HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT. 



a 1 



'1. As heretoforcj the general care of the liosj^itals is placed in charge 

 of Dr. Giltner as head of the Department of Bacteriology and Hygiene. 

 All necessarj^ supplies are to be obtained by the usual requisition issued 

 through his office. This includes material of every kind and nature for 

 the maintenance of the hospitals. 



"2. All necessary accounts including (a) time and pay roll of nurses, 

 (b) date of admissions and discharge of patients, (c) bills for hospital 

 services given patients shall be handled in Dr. Giltner's office and shall 

 be transmitted to the Secretary's office for collection at proper intervals. 

 It is understood that immediately upon the discharge of a patient from 

 the hospital, the Secretary's office shall be notified so that means for the 

 collection of hospital fees may be taken. The charge for hospital at- 

 tendance in ordinary cases which includes nurse's attendance, food, etc., 

 shall be ten dollars ($10.00) per week per patient." 



In spite of an effort to carry on matters under the direction of this 

 memorandum, I fail to find in the college catalogue for the ensuing year 

 any mention made of student health supervision. It seems to me that 

 this is very unfortunate and leaves the college authorities open to severe 

 criticism. 



After consulting with Professor Brewer of the Department of Physical 

 Education the following recommendations were drawn up by Professor 

 Brewer for a health service for the Michigan Agricultural College: 



I. Adminstration. 



a. Creation of a committee to formulate and carry our policies, this 

 committee to consist of: (1) Professor of Department of Bacteri- 

 ology, Hygiene, and Pathology, (2) College Physician, (3) Dean 

 of Women, (4) Director of the Department of Physical Training, 

 (5) A fifth member appointed by the president. 



b. A small fee of fifty cents or one dollar per term to be collected 

 from each student and to be known as "Health Service Fee". 



c. A fee card issued to each student entitling him to free medical 



advice, hospital service, and medical service, except for major 

 operations and major illness, while he is a student. 



d. Employment of a trained man to be known as "College Physician" 



II. Activities and Responsibilities. 



a. Physical and medical examination of every student as soon as 



possible after entrance. 



b. Re-examination as often and as many times as seems best for 

 all "Correction Cases", as indicated by first examination.
