Continuous residence at the University is required during term-time. No interruption of residence is permissible, except for satisfactory reasons stated to the Recorder (orally, if possible) before the student leaves Cambridge. The student who has been absent must also report in person to the Recorder immediate on his return...
...thoroughly pleased that the plans for an Infirmary are at last taking definite shape, and the student who has not at some time in his course felt the want of such an institution is fortunate indeed. For several years it has been the crying need of the University, and this need has grown year by year with the growth of the University. The little hospital building on Holmes Field has never been able to serve the purposes of a general infirmary.

Several schemes have been suggested to provide for the running expenses of such an Infirmary, which may be estimated at between $5,000 and $10,000 a year. While some students would be perfectly able to pay for what they would get in such an Infirmary, others would not. It has been suggested that if every student in any department resident in Cambridge were assessed one dollar a year and a further one dollar a day for every day's residence in the Infirmary beyond five days, a nominal income of $5,000 might be raised, which might be sufficient...

Thus all expenses might be paid for members of the guild at an individual cost of from one to three dollars a year. Further, a very tangible scheme seems to be to make a charge of $5.00, for instance, in addition to the usual tuition fee. Such a plan has proved successful in the University of Virginia...
