In researching Russell’s bibliography and post-WWii actions I came across two new ones. The Report of the Conference on Academic Freedom (Cambridge: Heffer, 1935; B&R B58), which met at Oxford in August 1934, included “The Auckland Resolution ” (p. 80). Many British academics signed it, including “L. Wittgenstein”: 1. The university teacher has no less freedom of speech within the law than any other citizen, excepting that there is a special responsibility on him to weigh his public utterances. It must also be recognised that his position in the community may sometimes seem to him to involve a special obligation to speak and, indeed, to make a pronouncement not in accordance with the opinions and traditions of the majority of citizens. 2. The exercise of this freedom (as defined in Clause 1) and indeed, the obligation to speak should not place in jeopardy a university teacher’s tenure of his post or make him subject to supervision or correction by the governing authority. Russell did not sign it, presumably because he was not an “academic” at the time, though his speech appeared in the proceedings (see Papers 21: 65). The second statement is a memorial, presented 3 January 1946, to Prime Minister Attlee from “Save Europe Now”, Victor Gollancz’s organization to alleviate post-war German starvation. A ten-page mimeograph is in RA1 550. The many adherents are classified. Under Universities we find “Dr. L. Wittgenstein ”. Russell, now returned to academia, is under the Royal Society. Attlee rejected the request in a letter printed in The Times, 29 January 1946, although by April, as starvation worsened, the uk increased its relief. The text of the memorial, also signed by T. S. Eliot, Alys Russell, George Orwell et al., reads: Taking note of the statement by the Foreign Secretary on November 23rd that “Hunger and privation may bring a further terrific human loss more devastating even than the atomic bomb”, we earnestly beg that, without prejudice to the claims of special categories, such as children, nursing and expectant mothers, and heavy workers, general rations in this country should not be raised so long as there is famine on the Continent of Europe. t= ...

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.
