Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current 214-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Pennsylvania, Route and State providing the first useful test.
