CALCULATION

How the score is calculated

Q = 10^(M/2) − 1; Lᵢ = aᵢ × Qᵢ; L = Σ Lᵢ; S = 2 × log₁₀(1 + L).

M is an outcome’s assessed magnitude and a is the person’s allocated share. A standalone score is only a per-item reference; the attributed light from distinct contributions is what can be combined.

01Girard College bequest, school founding, and original educational serviceGirard College遗赠、建校与原始教育服务OUT-SL3617-1830-1900-GIRARD-COLLEGE-ENDOWMENT-AND-DELIVERY

Record year1831

summaryGirard College bequest, school founding, and original educational service. The bequest established a boarding school with the original restriction of 'poor, white, male orphans.'

Original Chinese · summary

Girard College遗赠、建校与原始教育服务。遗赠建立寄宿学校及原始“poor, white, male orphans”限制。

M rationaleMuseum materials and the reproduced will establish the bequest and explicit eligibility restriction; actual education required long-term delivery by executors, teachers, and the city. It is assessed as M5.5 for an institutional outcome involving a major resource transfer but structural exclusion.

Original Chinese · M rationale

馆方与遗嘱转载可证遗赠和明确资格限制;实际教育需执行人、教师与城市长期交付。按重大资源转移但有结构性排斥的制度成果取M5.5。

attribution rationaleGirard 0.30; executors and early management 0.18; teachers and staff 0.23; prior work 0.12; city/college 0.09; construction services 0.04; unresolved 0.04.

Original Chinese · attribution rationale

Girard0.30,执行与早期管理0.18,教师员工0.23,前史0.12,城市/学院0.09,建设服务0.04,未解析0.04。

overlap boundaryThe bequest–trust–boarding-education chain from the 1830 will to the school's early delivery; credits only the original school founding and educational service, and does not claim later student achievements, 20th-century civil-rights reform, or modern college operations.

Original Chinese · overlap boundary

1830遗嘱到学校早期交付的遗赠—信托—寄宿教育链;只计原始建校和教育服务,不领取后世学生成就、20世纪民权改革或现代学院运营。

Evidence gapsThe original will facsimile, executor litigation, and first-period course and teacher rosters have not yet been checked. Connections between the sources of wealth—shipping, real estate, and forced labour—and the bequest could affect the bequest's net boundary, but sufficient archives are currently lacking.

Original Chinese · summary

M rationaleThe NPS explicitly records that Girard and Helm jointly took over, HSP lists committee minutes and admission records, and museum materials confirm Girard's care and supervision; it is assessed as M5.3 for short-term, high-risk hospital service.

BOUNDARIES NOT COUNTED

Not included in this score

These subjects are recorded as exclusions and are not silently treated as zero or as part of the included outcomes.

Net impact of war credit and college exclusion

战争信贷与学院排斥的净影响

Reason War credit and exclusion from college admission involve major limitations; existing disaggregated materials do not adjudicate their net social consequences.

Original Chinese reason

战争信贷及学院招生排斥涉及重大限制,现有分项材料未裁定其净社会后果。

Girard Bank and the War of 1812 credit delivery

Girard银行与1812年战争信贷交付

Reason The direct military consequences of banking and war credit cannot yet be combined with the gains of financial intermediation into an evidenced net-positive judgment, and are provisionally not counted in brightness. Wealth and victory or defeat in war are not used as substitute evidence.

Original Chinese reason

银行与战争信贷的直接军事后果尚无法与金融中介收益合并作有据净正判断,暂不计入亮度。财富与战争胜败也不作为替代证据。
