he Institute Dormitory is that all who are here
have come for a purpose and bear that thought in mind. The student who
sits beside you at the table is here for the same purpose as yourself.
You are both working for the same thing--working earnestly,
enthusiastically, seriously--and withal, successfully--to be cured of
stammering.

What does this mean?

It means that the very atmosphere of the Institute is saturated with
energy, enthusiasm and the spirit of successful endeavor.
Determination, application, success--these things are in the very air
you breathe. The spirit that carries an army to victory is here--to
carry you to victory and success.

Absolute Privacy in Treatment: There is absolutely no publicity
connected with the attendance of any student at the Institute. Many
students have attended without even their families or friends being
aware of the fact. Others have come leaving behind the impression that
they were visiting friends--which in truth, they were, as they
afterwards found those connected with the Institute to be sincere and
worth-while friends, indeed.

Even in carrying on correspondence regarding the course, no one need
know anything about your intentions, for upon no occasion does the name
of the Institute appear on the outside of any letter or package
addressed to you. Only the name "BENJAMIN N. BOGUE" appears to identify
the letter.

At no time will your name, address or any information about you in
connection with your name be published or discussed in any public
manner whatsoever without your permission.

Care of the Health: Every safeguard is thrown around the physical
welfare of those attending the Institute. The location and
extraordinary sanitary precautions almost preclude the possibility of
protracted illness--this was evidenced by the startling fact that
during the severe and nation-wide influenza epidemic of the fall and
winter of 1918-1919, not a single student of the Institute was taken
ill. This speaks wonders for the remarkable good physical condition of
the many students who were here at that time.

In the event, however, that a student does become ill, the Institute
House Physician is at once summoned and in the case of a child, this
physician's opinion will be sent immediately to the parents.

In illness as in health, the kindly, courteous and yet unobtrusive
services of Mother Bogue are at the disposal of the student. Every care
is bestowed, special meals provided and
