This historical booklet of Chicago ward maps and their boundary descriptions is a helpful resource: Chicago ward maps, 1837-1970, Styx, Sherrie A. (1988).

Esp. helpful in early census years when only ward numbers were referenced. Combine this w/a period map to capture era.

April 2024, IU's president received a 93% no confidence vote by the faculty. Her list of accomplishments are filled with stifling students' first amendment rights and numerous accounts of suspected plagiarism.

I didn't catch the type and length of training these guys are getting, nor bonuses for making quotas.
