The extinction of animals is, of course, a horrible occurrence in itself but its gravity is simply not comparable to the organized malicious slaughter of a particular ethnic group. All efforts should be made to avoid evoking that comparison in people's minds...

HUHS's primary concern is the safety and well-being of the student or guest and the need to provide timely assessment and intervention in order to support recovery and avoid grave injury. Clinicians will only seek that information which is necessary to effectively assess and treat the individual. If an admission to Stillman Infirmary is warranted, a list of all patients is sent daily to some administrators, including senior tutors. Only the individual's name is provided, not the diagnosis, treatment...
