University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Student Health Service

The University opened its first infirmary in 1858. Beginning in 1890, members of the medical faculty were responsible for treating students there. The infirmary, however, had no full-time physician until 1919, when the first University Physician was appointed. The name infirmary continued to be used informally to designate the building; but as early as 1938, the University Physician's annual report referred to the entity as the University Health Service. By the late 1940s, that name had changed to Student Health Service. Originally, the University Physician reported to the President, then later to the Chancellor, of the University. With the creation of the Division of Student Affairs in 1954, the University Physician began reporting to the head of that division, the Dean of Student Affairs (later Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs). In 1959, the University Physician's title was changed to Director of the Student Health Service.
