1 and 2.
Yes, in general. I think the easiest way to deal with pages like
these is to make them part of the front matter for the volume
in question, like this (there are many valid ways to record
the list and headings; this is just one of them):
The University ofMICHIGANAn Encyclopedic Survey
The University of MichaganAn Encyclopedic Survey
VOLUME I
History and AdministrationOrganization; Services; Alumni
VOLUME II
College of Literature, Science, and the
Arts—ICollege of Literature, Science, and the
Arts—I; Summer SessionMedical School; University Hospital; Law School
[etc.]
[and so on, as in question #3]
The placement of the tag looks fine.
3. Yes, exactly, except that the BACK of the title page should be
included as part of the same , so the should
continue beyond the bottom of p. [iii], perhaps as a new paragraph,
like this:
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
1943
Copyright, 942byThe University of Michigan
...
4. Suggestion (b) is better. I'd go with nested lists, like this:
CONTENTS
Part I
History and Administration
The University of Michigan and State Education
. . . . . 3The Early History of the University of Michigan
. . . . . 26The Administration of Henry Philip Tappan
. . . . . 39
[etc.]
Part II
Organization
The University Senate and the Senate Council
. . . . . 231
[etc.]
Services
The School of Education and State Service
. . . . . 309
5. I do not know why s were omitted from the Guidelines. Just
forgot them, I guess.
If I understand you correctly, suggestion (a) is the right one.
There is no need to preserve the note number once it has been
used to identify the right place to insert the note. Our normal
practice is to preserve instead the original location of the
note on the page by using the "PLACE" attribute (PLACE="foot"
for footnotes; PLACE="marg" for marginal notes, etc., as below).
But even that can be skipped in this book, since there are so few
notes, and no likelihood of conflict between different sets
of notes.
p. 116).For information on the influence of
early sectarianism on the development of higher education ...
Strong opposition ...
6. &mdash. Yes, that's good.
7. Yes. Is there a reason not to? You may have to do some fiddling
with
s and s to make it parse, I suppose, perhaps
like this: . But maybe that's not the question(?).
8. Good question. I had assumed that I would end up having to find these
and tag them myself, but if you think you can identify these
internal cross-references reliably, then go ahead and tag them
like this, with :
... theories and practices (see Part I: Superintendent
of Public Instruction).
This requires a change in the dtd. I have added REF to the content
model of most elements by including it in the %HI entity. The modified
dtd will be found on line at

9. I suggest TYPE="appendix", N="A"

Michigan

APPENDIX B

10. Yes, if that's feasible.
11. Yes.
12. These look like s to me. The upper one would
have Trustees and Visitors ... and
a set of uninterrupted s beginning with "William Brown,"
running down the left column to "Alexander Macomb,"
then down the right column from "William W. Petit"
to "John S. Roby."
The second thing pointed to is another , with
its own .
13. Yes, these references to external documents ought
to be recorded simply as text.
14. Use suggestion (a): multiple docAuthor fields
15. Suggestion (a) is better than (b) (answer (b) won't parse),
but maybe the following is even better, assuming that the second
half of the heading looks like a subheading:
Table I
General Classification
16. Text or table? I'd say neither. It looks to me like a
containing one
(running from "Sometime ago at a
meeting ..." to 'emblematic colors of the University
of Michigan."') followed by one ; the
contains one followed by three
s,
Committee:
M. Jackson '67A. H. Pattengill '68J. E. Jackson Lit '65-'68
There are several other ways to encode this, but this
seems the easiest.
17. This looks like a
(beginning in the left column with
"It was in 1873 ...") containing a which itself
contains six numbered s. The
ends with the
end of the : "people.
18. Tables are always trouble. The best thing to do here, I
think, is to treat the long curly braces as indicating
what in HTML would be called a "ROWSPAN" attribute of the
element; the TEI equivalent is the "ROWS" attribute
of the element. Take the items in the left column
as defining the number or rows; when you reach a column
with a brace in it, record the information in the
to which it first applies, giving to the ROWS attibute
a numberical value equal to the number of rows to which
the information applies. So the top of the table on
p. 290 would be recorded as:

I have needed to restore the "ROLE" "ROWS" and "COLS" attributes of the
element to the dtd. Find the new version at

19. You have two choices, of which the first, I think, is the better:
(1) Treat the tables on this page as separate
s;
in that case "School of Dentistry" and "College of
Architecture and Design" are s to their own
tables. can appear within . So encode
as follows:
School of DentistryCalled the College of Dental
Surgery until January, 1937; School of Dentistry since
that time.
(2) Record the whole page (or set of pages) as a single
;
in that case "School of Dentistry" occupies a
filling one of that table, with attributes
COLS="5" and ROLE="label":
School of DentistryCalled
the College of Dental Surgery until January, 1937;
School of Dentistry since that time.
I like method (1) better.
20. a. yes, except you've left off the "head" tags:
SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY
Angell, James B.The Reminiscences of ...
New York: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1912.
I thought of asking you to tag other info, such as date,
but decided to leave it at this, as being the most easily
tied to typographic clues (italics, small caps).
b. No, don't use italic tags for the italic titles; the
tag itself is good enough. I realize that this will leave
non-italicized titles (such as article titles that appear
in quotation marks, not in italics) untagged, but my assumption
was that I should ask you to interpret the text as little
as possible. Perhaps you can tell me: how feasible would
it be to ask you to identify *all* titles in the bibliographies,
not just the ones in italics? If you were able to do that, then
of course the italicized titles would require tags to
distinguish them from the other ones. Let me know.
c. "..." or "…"? I hadn't thought about it. I guess the
entity rather than the keyboard periods.
21. Pipe replaces the hyphen. This was a rule developed for converting
texts in medieval english, in which it was often impossible to tell
if the word was normally hyphenated or not. If you feel able
to decide that the word is normally hyphenated (i.e., is a valid
compound), go ahead and use the ordinary hyphen. If in doubt, use
the pipe. (We suppress the pipe in display, but keep it in the
source file in order to preserve this information).
-------SET 2------------
1. This looks like the back of the title page. Include both
the front and back of the title page in a single
numbered
2. Since this page may appear elsewhere than after the title
page, we'd better treat it separately, i.e., your suggestion
"b." As for the TYPE, I suggest simply TYPE="editors".
3. Series of four dots. Fine, treat it as …
4. On attachment #4, the text pointed to is in fact the
continuation of a footnote that started at the bottom
of the second column on the *previous page.* It should
be included there. The reason that the name is
incomplete is that the page break occurs in the
middle of the name.

universities, see Tewksbury, and also the
Contributions to American Educational History
series, edited by Herbert B. Adams and contained
in the Circulars of Information of the
United States Bureau of Education, 1887-1903.
On attachment #5, record the name as usual.
5. Follow suggestion "a" (place only the names themselves
within tags).
