Yale Reports On
 Student Health
Annual Report of Dept of University Health Shows Total
 of 5,554 Treatments Given Last Year

New Haven, Jan 19.-How Yale university guards the helath of it's students is revealed in the report made to President James Rowland Angell by Dr James C. Grenewav, director of the department of uni versity health. This department, for which a separate building has just been completed, has general super vision of student health. A medical examination by its staff is required of each student at least once every year.
 The medical service not only takes care of communicable diseases and various other illnesses such as appendicitis and muscle strains. but also extends it's supervision to men, tai hygiene. nutrition of under- weight and overweight students. or thopedic corrections and the use of physical therapy.
 Much attention is being given to the mental health of students. An effort has been made during the year to amplify and improve the mental hygiene technique used in the routine health service survey Of new students. More adequate meth ods of recording the interviews of the students by the psychiatrist have been put into operation, and more systematic methods of follow-up are being developed. From material re- corded during the year. statistical studies are now being made, the principal value of which will be clearer definition of the function of the division of mental health. The

 ''The educational value of these contacts with the students and theiJ familiarity with mental hygiene will have a tremendous indirect in- fuence as these students leave the university and assume positions of leadership" says Dr Greenway.
 Students who are ten per cent un derweight or ten per cent over weight are given individual instruc- tion in nutrition. Among last years freshman class there were forty-two who were underweight and five who were overweight. -Ninety-two per cent of those receiving instruction in the underweight group showed distinct gain of weight, the average gain per individual being six pounds and the greatest individual gain. twenty pounds. Tn the overweight. group. the average loss of weight was sixteen pounds. and the great est loss being twenty-one pounds. The basal metabolic rates of stu dents in the nutrition groups are determined and studied carefully.
 There is evidence of an in creased appreciation on the part of the students of the possible signif- icance of even a slight abdominal pain and greater promptness on their part in securing surgical ad- vice." says Dr Greenway in explana. tion of the forty cases of acute ap- pendicitis this year as compared with an average of twenty-seven during five years previous. All forty patients made prompt and satisfac- tory recoveries. According to pr Greenway. the patrol stations re- gently established near tho dnrmi- tories have been useful in cases of emergencies. Each station has telephone and an attendant on duty partnent offices are closed. permit ting prompt communication with doctors on duty.
 Medical students are examined at the offices of the department of unt- versity health. In addition, all new medical students had x-ray plates made of their chests. Two cases. or four per cent, were found to have evidence of old, inactive tubercu losis.
 The demands for physical therapy treatments have grown so rapidly since the service was started in 1928 that it has been necessary 10 add n second technician and addi- tional equipment. A total of 5.554 treatments were given last year. as against 2.S44 in the previous year.
