Proofread against the OCR of conferencereport1915sa (leaves 68-69); removed a running-head fragment ("ELDER DAVID 0. McKAY.") bled mid-sentence into the body; reconstructed a heavily OCR-corrupted paragraph and fixed scattered OCR character errors elsewhere.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: source verified against conferencereport1915sa OCR. Reading order reconstructed with scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py; boundaries confirmed (Second Meeting Out-of-Doors, between Benjamin Goddard/Edward J. Wood and David O. M'Kay). Body collated against OCR leaves 68-69; removed one running-head bleed and reconstructed one heavily garbled paragraph from context (privelege -> privilege, canacitv -> capacity, te«timonv -> testimony), otherwise verbatim.
