Oddly, no member of the drafting committee seems to have gone along to John Dunlap's shop to supervise the printing?which accounts, perhaps, for the caprices of punctuation, capitalization and spelling that occur in the printed document. On July 5 and 6, the Declaration was sent out to all the colonies, and one copy was inserted into the Congress's "rough" (secret) journal...

Steiner says that Bok believed no such review could occur before the Pusey-era splits had healed, creating a consensus that would allow the Faculty to focus its energies on undergraduate education.
