Abstract
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] When I arrived as an undergraduate at Mennonite Brethren College of Arts in Winnipeg in 1964-65, only a year or two after Rudy Wiebe had been delicately shown road out of town, I did have a vague inkling that the sixties had begun, but I had little language to give shape to my hunches. It was immediately apparent to me that the sixties (whatever they might turn out to be) had not much made their way into faculty ranks at college. However, there was much whispering among some of my fellow undergrads about one Harry Loewen--a faculty member in his mid-30s who taught one course part-time, and that one course only once a week, and then only in evening--who was beginning to lift lid on things at least a crack, to let light fall where it might. The following year this Harry Loewen was given a full-time position at Mennonite Brethren college, and strategic and warm support that he increasingly gave to undergrad students at college during that time of great cultural transition became increasingly well known. He somehow found a means to give enthusiastic counsel and confidence to very generation that was finding a way of shaping the sixties. To be sure, after two or three years of teaching at college, and with little resistance from administration, he was himself trying to find a way out of town! All while working on his M.A. and Ph.D. studies at Universities of Manitoba and Waterloo, respectively, Harry had become eminently ready for a job offer that came from Wilfrid Laurier University (then called Waterloo Lutheran University) in Waterloo, Ontario. He taught at Wilfrid Laurier in German Department for ten years, from 1968 to 1978, serving also as department's chair. I joined Wilfrid Laurier University faculty in 1974 and recall our colleagues' enthusiastic response to Professor Loewen's expanding publishing record, that by then included his first two books, Goethe's Response to Protestantism (1972) and Luther and Radicals (1974). The opportunity that drew Harry into center of Mennonite literary studies came in 1978, when he was invited to occupy first Chair in Mennonite Studies at University of Winnipeg--in very town he had left a decade before. He threw his energy and talent into setting up Mennonite Studies program at University of Winnipeg and, by 1983, establishing and editing Journal of Mennonite Studies, a very successful scholarly forum. …

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.
