Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ezra Pound was twelve when in 1897 he enrolled in the Cheltenham Military Academy near Wyncote, where he was given a solid grounding in English, Latin, Greek, history, and mathematics. We find a reference to the classical curriculum in a letter to his parents in June 1898, when he writes about his forthcoming holiday: "no more Latin, no more Greek / no more smoking on the sneak" – the conventional outburst of joy of the schoolboy who is (temporarily) freed of the tedium of many hours spent in learning grammar. At the Academy, both Greek and Latin were taught by Frederick James Doolittle, known among the cadets as "Cassius" because of his lean and hungry appearance. Pound later recalled in Guide to Kulchur that a man called Spenser recited a long passage from the Iliad to him, which "was worth more than grammar when one was 13 years old" (GK, 145), while in Canto lxxx/532 we read that "old Spencer (,H.)…first declaimed me the Odyssey." However, J. J. Wilhelm has shown that no existing bulletins of the school mention him, while his name does not appear in the census rolls of Wyncote and vicinity.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
