In college the student has many aids and opportunities for health maintenance and improvement. One aid is the student health service. It provides emergenby care in case of accident or sudden illness. It assesses health status through medical examination or from information supplied by the family physician. It follows through in the correction of remediable defects. Another aid to health is the physical education program. The modern college thus provides a healthful environtment and assistance in varying degrees in solving food, housing, recreation, and personality problem. Physicians, nurses, dietitians, physical educators, health educators, and coaches, as well as teachers, deans, and advisers, are resources in developing physical, mental, and social well-being.

A program of building health starts with an appraisal of health. Acquainting oneself with the nature of health examinations and with the significance of the medical findings is fundamental. If these findings have implications for the college program, the necessary adjusments should be made with the advice of the physician and faculty adviser.

If a first step in the studend's health program is correcting remediable conditions or adjusting to a condition that is not remediable, it is certainly not the last. Although the student's resources are remarkable, each individual is probably more on his or her own than ever before. It is the student, with help, who is responsible for developing desirable qualities of mind, body, and personality.

Alert students arrange a study place with proper lighting, chair, table, ventilation, and quiet. They secure needed source materials and plan study periods. The develop habits of serious, regular, day by day study with appropriate reviews instead of irregular work and all night cramming session before examinations. Alert students concider with equal care the opportunities for recreational and social activity- sports, clubs, music, debate, dramatics, social functions, and religious activities.
