Abstract
This collection of essays is the result of a conference entitled Onward to the Olympics: Historical Perspectives on the Olympic Games, sponsored by Wilfrid Laurier University (wlu) and the Canadian Academic Institute in Athens (now the Canadian Institute in Greece) and held in Waterloo, Ontario, on 3-4 October 2003.The idea behind the conference was to explore and in some small way reinforce the connection between the Olympic Games of the ancient Greek world-held for a thousand years at Olympia, 250 km west of Athens-and the modern Olympic Games, which were about to return to Athens in the summer of 2004 after a 108-year absence.It was expected that Greece, as host country of the Games of the 28th Olympiad, would engage the attention of both students of history and the curious public at large, who would watch the Olympics in their "place of origin" for the first time in a century.A strong interest in the history of the Olympic Games by the co-chairs of the conference organizing committee, both of whom teach the subject at wlu, as well as the considerable research strengths of colleagues at nearby universities, gave further impetus to the idea, and led to the formation of an organizing committee representing both ancient and modern sides of the Olympic history divide.

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.
