Items on our house style sheet not covered in our manual: Father vs. Fr. use of S.J. (Rev.) Mass or mass
Items on our house stylesheet that override our manual: The AP Stylebook dictates using Rev. instead of Fr. (unless in quotes). We use Rev. on first reference and then Fr. We are following the school's tradition in doing so.
AP suggests using lowercase board of directors, etc., but we uppercase Board of Trustees and Board of Regents. Again, this follows the school's tradition.
