Abstract
For more than a quarter of a century the name of Emerson McMillin has been a familiar one to members of the Ohio Academy of Science.Annually throughout that period, with unbroken regularity, a check bearing his signature has been received by the Academy, the proceeds of which were devoted to the encouragement of scientific research, through small grants of money, generally, though not necessarily, restricted to its own membership.Personally he was known to a very few members of the Academy, but in the busy world of finance, material development and courageous enterprise he was known as a great leader.Public utility engineers placed him in the very front rank of their profession.He was chosen to membership in many of the leading scientific and technical societies and for several years he served as the president of the New York Academy of Sciences.Artists and musicians found in him a generous though keenly critical patron and in the discussion and study of world problems his reputation was international.These things and many more are put down to the credit of one who ended the period of his formal education at the age of ten years, beginning his struggle with the world as a common laborer in a charcoal-burning iron furnace, at a daily wage of twenty-five cents.The story of the succeeding three score and ten years is like a fairy tale, though it is the story of a life in which fairies played no part.Few men who have risen to distinction owe less to fortuitous circumstances than Mr. McMillin and few have been so entirely "self made," in the best sense of that hackneyed phrase.Aside from the indebtedness of the Academy to him for continued financial assistance

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
