ROW 83-12 · EVERY DOCUMENTED MAJOR GIFT FROM THIS RUN'S DIGS · UNPUBLISHED AMOUNTS PRINTED AS UNPUBLISHED

The table ranks what this run dug, at the boundary discipline of the leg: gifts to CDP-seated recipients print in the main rank; the county-frame gifts that serve this ground print below the line, marked, because a ranked table that silently absorbed Notre Dame's $150 million into "Granger donations" would be the exact inflation this build exists to refuse.
