It contains in many places more detail than what appears in the published work. It is organized somewhat differently from the published version with separate chapters on the conservatory of music, the trustees, and athletics. Some, though not all, of the material from these chapters is integrated into the narrative of the published history. An expanded table of contents listing sub-sections within each chapter will enable readers to turn to topics in which they may be particularly interested.
