  1. 5 June 1955 conclusion · probable
    Why dc1-agreement-20261004, pm-actor-551 (PM 8702)
    Reasoning All 7 claims agree on 1955-06-05: media:1118; media:1118; Clipping-curation pass 2026-08-17 (agent conf=medium): media:1118; media:1376; media:766; media:766; media:926.
  2. 5 June 1955 estimated · probable · preferred
    Reasoning Media 1118 says the opening lecture is tomorrow and classes open next Monday June 6, followed by Sunday lectures June 12 and June 19; within the source's probable 1955 dating, the opening Sunday is June 5.
  3. 1955 stated · possible
    Reasoning Scan-date evidence supplies 1955; the clipping says tomorrow but lacks a printed issue date.
  4. 5 June 1955 stated · possible
    Source Clipping-curation pass 2026-08-17 (agent conf=medium): media:1118
  5. 5 June 1955 stated · probable
    Source Filename 1955lecdrake.jpg; printed Sundays June 12/19 and Monday June 6 fix tomorrow as Sunday June 5, 1955; duplicate media 1118 carries the same probable date.
    Reasoning The weekday-date pattern is internally consistent in 1955: June 6 was Monday and June 12 and 19 were Sundays, so the series-opening tomorrow was Sunday 1955-06-05. The year remains probable because it is supplied by the archival filename and corroborating duplicate rather than printed in the visible clipping.
  6. 5 June 1955 estimated · probable
    Reasoning The clipping gives 'Sunday, June 12' and 'June 19' for the second and third talks and 'next Monday night, June 6' for the class opening; June 12 and 19, 1955 fell on Sundays and June 6, 1955 on a Monday, which fixes the year and places the opening lecture on the preceding Sunday, June 5.
  7. between 5 June 1955 and 19 June 1955 bound · probable
    Reasoning Media 766 says the series opens tomorrow, names the later Sunday talks as June 12 and June 19, and opens classes Monday June 6. The weekday pattern plus filename year yields an opening Sunday of June 5, so the three-talk series spans June 5 through June 19 at probable confidence.
  8. 5 June 1955 estimated · probable
    Reasoning The clipping gives 'Sunday, June 12' and 'June 19' for the second and third talks and 'next Monday night, June 6' for the class opening; June 12 and 19, 1955 fell on Sundays and June 6, 1955 on a Monday, which fixes the year and places the opening lecture on the preceding Sunday, June 5.
