Corrected entry: During one of the musical numbers, many people are seen singing while sitting on a set of bleachers. The bleachers are modern metal ones, despite the fact that the movie takes place before those types of bleachers existed. They ought to be wooden bleachers.

Correction: The year is 1912, it is hard for me to believe that metal bleachers would not exist, especially since the only difference would be what the exterior is made of, i.e. the hinges, etc. are the same metal.

Other mistake: Marian asks Winthrop to go pick up a book called "The Indiana State Educational Journal 1901-1910". When we see her reading the book, it actually says "The Indiana State Educational Journal 1890-1910". (01:08:25 - 01:13:50)
