Abstract
Bryant F. Tolles Jr. . Architecture and Academe: Buildings in New England before 1860 . Hanover, N.H., and London: University Press of New England, 2011, xxi + 217 pp., 28 color and 213 b/w illus. $50, ISBN 9781584658917 Bryant F. Tolles Jr., professor emeritus of history and art history at the University of Delaware, offers us the first book-length study of the college and university architecture of pre–Civil War New England. Tolles is the author and editor of several books from the same publisher, including Summer Cottages in the White Mountains (2000), Resort Hotels of the Adirondacks (2003) and, more recently, Summer by the Seaside: The Architecture of New England Coastal Resort Hotels (2008). The current volume has its origins in Tolles's PhD dissertation of more than forty years ago, College Architecture in Northern New England Before 1860: A Social and Cultural History (Boston University, 1970). Clearly, the subject matter of Architecture & Academe has been on Tolles's mind for a long time, and it shows in the thoughtful account he has produced. Tolles explains in his preface that he will focus primarily on the architecture and related history of individual buildings, their origins, their functions, and their interrelationships with other buildings in their respective campus environments (xvii). Covered in this way are the principle buildings of sixteen New England institutions—Harvard, Yale, Brown, Dartmouth, Williams, Bowdoin, University …

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
