Increase in Use of Student Hospital Brings An Increase in Health Fee
Because of an increase in the need for hospital treatment at Watkins Memorial hospital, the health fee paid at time of enrollment at the University each semester has been increased to $4. Formerly it was $3.
Health Fee Increase
According to the annual report of Dr. R. I. Canuteus, director of the Student Health Service, an epidemic of severe illnesses last March was the chief cause for the cost of operation of the hospital, increasing income for the past year by $2,700.
rise rate in the health fee will be compensated by the privilege of five instead of three days hospitalization before a $1 daily charge beginst and the opening of the operating room for $2.50 in the case of minor operations instead of $5 which hitherto has been charged in both major and minor operations.
Watkins Memorial hospital, a gift of M. J. B. Watkins, is one of the finest buildings of its type in the United States. It houses the dispensary, which is complete with necessary examining rooms, laboratory, X-ray department, operating room, and offices. There are 24 rooms with a normal capacity of 46 beds.
Regular Dispensary Hours

Eighty-five Per Cent Use Hospital
More than 85 per cent of the student paying the health fee last year registered at the dispensary during the
term, and the average of calls per student registered increased from 8.1 in 1934-35 to 9.78 in 1953-6. The average number of dispatches calls daily (including Sundays and holidays) increased from 95.120 to 95.170. The total number of calls was 1210.
From 46- to 92-Bed Capacity
While the number of students requiring hospital service did not differ greatly (1214 in 1954-5 and 1253 last year) the number of hospital days increased from 6092 to 6224. Whereas the average stay of patients was 3 days for several years, reports, the past year the average was 4.103.
From 8-6 to 92-12 Capacity
During March 1936, the hospital had a particularly heavy run, making it necessary to set up beds in corridors and in the ward. This gave 92 beds instead of the annual 46, and at one time 82 of the 92 beds were occupied. At no time in March did the daily hospital census drop below 54, and the total admissions for the month were 346.
