Student Health DR. WILLIAM STAFNE During the year 1935-1936 only 29 out of 1500 students were ill with contagious diseases. These figures, alone, show the efficiency of the health office on the North Dakota State College Campus. A record of this kind is only possible when there is cooperation between the students and the health authorities. The college doctor and nurse made 308 visits and vaccinated 389 persons during the year 1935-1936. Besides administering to the sick and giving vaccinations the physician and nurse give special blood tests, tuberculin tests, and take throat cultures. In this Work they are aided by the bacteriology de- partment. Organized medical supervision is carried on by a board composed of Dean Dinan, Dean Smith, Professors C. I. Nelson, C. C. Finnegan, A. D. Whedon, Dr. William Stafne, and the school nurse. Miss Esther Wendland, for- mer nurse, a s sis tin g with typhoid inocuiations f 0 1' t li e military department. ESTHER WENDLAND Page 27
