Source guide
Does this order show that Martha Lum attended the school?
No. The court directed the trustees to admit her, and in the same order granted the defendants an appeal. A direction to admit is not a record of attendance, and the appeal means the direction did not stand as the last word.
Why is only one page of this order shown?
Because only that page carries the words quoted. The passage runs across two pages of the transcript, and the preceding page is not reproduced here, so the displayed excerpt is narrowed to what page 11 actually supports. The complete record stays linked.
