◕Authoritative print

Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-Second Annual Conference (April 4-6, 1902), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1902a). OCR corrected by hand (running heads and line-break hyphenation removed, paragraphing restored, obvious OCR errors corrected). Not yet proofread line-by-line against page images. Grade reflects the officially published Conference Report.

Witnesses

No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.

Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Light review: in-context proofread, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml). QC scan-tiebreak 2026-07-17: 1 site collated against conferencereport1902a leaf n9; the flagged 'tb- advantage' resolves to printed 'the advantage' (damaged-type 'e' rendered as a hyphen by OCR, same press run as the neighboring damaged 'hard.' for 'hard,'). Not a full collation -- this talk's other pre-existing OCR errors visible on the same leaf (e.g. 'abvoad', 'h&ve', 'tha', 'yeur') are untouched and flagged separately. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml).

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: collated against the djvu OCR of conferencereport1902a; set source_url page anchor via IA search-inside. Content matches the OCR witness verbatim; boundaries clean, closes at 'Amen' before the next speaker. Noah final review: approved 2026-07-20 (QC repairs approved; see per-scope repairs.yaml).
