Leslie commented:

I read the Newbery Terms and Criteria, and notice that they're originally from 1978, revised in 1987 (or something like that). I'm wondering what the original terms were, and how often they've been revised. Given the discussion about changing the award, it seems to me it would be interesting to see whether and, if so, how, they have changed over the years.
