Secularization, co-education and conflict management at Saint Mary's University : 1967-1970
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Saint Mary's University is a mid-sized Atlantic Canadian post-secondary institution with a long and complex history as evidenced by numerous developments and changes, particularly throughout the latter part of the twentieth century. Prior to that era, Saint Mary's was a radically different place from what it subsequently became. As an institution of higher learning, it was male-dominated and vigorously Catholic in its mission and traditions. The intention of this thesis is to provide a detailed and discerning account, primarily through the interpretation of oral history evidence, of the two most significant events in the history of Saint Mary's University which occurred between 1967 and 1970: secularization and the beginning of co-education. More specifically, this study will suggest that the introduction of co-education along with the secularization of Saint Mary's University, as seen by former students as well as by former and current faculty and staff, were events that resulted in significant changes within a short time, especially by comparison with the concurrent pace of change at other Atlantic Canadian universities. Ultimately, the thesis will suggest, Saint Mary's navigated through these major changes with remarkably little disruption.

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.
