var AID="03703087_1"; The Education of American Teachers, by James Bryant Conant Baker, R. S. It is mainly through the guidance of James Bryant Conant that middle America has been coming to terms with current educational predicaments. ...The task of the schools would be to lead the individual child through successive encounters with imaginative and dedicated teachers who would give him an increasingly sophisticated picture of reality and some of the equipment for operating within it... ...He refused, for example, to deal with the preparation of teachers of non-academic subjects or of those with administrative functions... ...A glimpse of how we read these days... ...Individual colleges and universities would have complete freedom-and responsibility-for developing their own programs of courses for future teachers, using the resources of the "whole faculty" to provide a core of general education, followed by specialized training... ...They seem to want for themselves the security of technical competence, a grasp of the best new knowledge, and the freedom to take certain psychic risks for themselves and their students... ...His central recommendation would take certification requirements out of the control of the state departments and give them to the individual colleges... ...Within this more open and rational framework, teacher training could then undergo a thorough revision...

Harvard is a famously decentralized university, noted for the "every tub on its own bottom" independence of its various constituent faculties . They set their own academic standards and manage their own budgets. The president, however, plays an important part in university-wide planning and strategy. He names each faculty's dean (and, since the foundation of the office circa , the university's provost ), and it is he who in the end grants tenure to recommended professors. (He is, however, expected to make such decisions after extensive consultation with faculty members.) In recent years the President has also become increasingly responsible for the conduction of fund-raising campaigns. The present holder of the office, Lawrence H. Summers

Recommended Reading Notable Unitarians Home Harvard Square Library Home ROBERT ULICH: EDUCATOR OF EDUCATORS (Photo courtesy of Harvard University Archives) by Heather Miller, Editor and Author Robert Ulich was a professor of the history and philosophy of education at Harvard University from 1935 until 1960. During those years, he published ten books whose subjects ranged from comparative education to the history of educational thought to his own philosophy of self-transcendence outlined in his best known book, The Human Career Ulich's first wife Elsa, who was known in Germany as the Swedish Angel of Siberia for her work with POWs during World War I. In 1929 he married Elsa Brandstroem, daughter of the Swedish ambassador to Russia. As a Swedish Red Cross nurse, she had acted on behalf of German prisoners of war by visiting heartrendering camp after camp all over Siberia, and thereafter became known as the Swedish Angel of Siberia. There is little question that the tragic rise of the Nazi party in Germany, whose ultimate aims Ulich foresaw with uncommon clarity, shaped his approach to educational philosophy. Ulich wrote, "Nothing is more dangerous to mankind than the divine gift of faith uncontrolled by the equally divine gift of reason."

Gerkin, 70, professor emeritus in the department of chemistry at Ohio State University (OSU), died on May 23. Gerkin was born in Indiana and received his primary and secondary education in Indiana public schools. Since he was too young for military service in World War II, he proceeded directly to the University of Chicago, where he received A.B. and M.S. degrees in physical chemistry. In 1958, after completing graduate experimental work at the University of California, Berkeley, he accepted a temporary position at the University of Chicago. There, he worked with C. A. Hutchison Jr., who introduced him to the field of low-temperature electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Gerkin was awarded a Ph.D. degree in physical chemistry from Berkeley under the guidance of K. S. Pitzer in 1960 and joined the OSU faculty in 1962. His early interest in the structures and properties of crystalline solids led Gerkin to undertake X-ray crystallographic studies on a great variety of carefully prepared pure inorganic and organic crystals. His extensive experimental investigations in physical chemistry included thermodynamic studies of heat capacities of crystalline solids; EPR spectroscopic studies at low and high magnetic field strengths in pure and dilutely substituted single crystals; studies of triplet-state EPR spectra and of isotope effects in triplet states; crystalline disorder; phase transitions in molecular and hydrated ionic crystals; and hydrogen-bonding in crystalline organic acids and hydrated inorganic salts.

The Scientific Article: From Galileo's New Science to the Human Genome Fathom Sessions Session 4 Session 3 Session 5 Select Communications from Ingenious Scientists Newton and optics The eightieth issue of Philosophical Transactions features an article by an up-and-coming young scientist, Isaac Newtonhis first scientific publication and the first major scientific article ever. Henry Oldenburg, the Transactions editor, obviously recognized the importance of this 12-page article by the relatively obscure Cambridge University professor, because it is the sole research article in the eightieth issue and was printed only about two weeks after its reception, on February 6, 1672, in handwritten manuscript form. Here is the extensive byline preceding the actual article: A Letter of Mr. Isaac Newton , Mathematick Professor in the University of Cambridge; containing his New Theory about Light and Colors : Where Light is declared to be not Similar or Homogeneal, but consisting of difform rays, some of which are more refrangible than others: And Colors Newton's main contention was that white light, far from being simple, as previously believed, was a compound of all the colors of the spectrum, a compound that could be decomposed by passing white light through a prism and recomposed through reversing that passage in a second prism. The claim had two basic components: first, Newton's experimental results with prisms and, second, his mechanical explanation for themnamely, that light appears to be a material body composed of particles, and rays of differently colored light refract at different angles.

The Big Test Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri From: David Brooks Monday, Sept. 27, 1999, at 10:47 AM PT Dear Nat, I've been looking forward to this book for a long time, and I find myself impressed, annoyed, and disappointed. I'm tremendously impressed by the first chunk of the book, which is a description of the emergence of the SAT-tested meritocracy. Lemann is emerging as our leading chronicler of hugely important but under-reported events. And the social transformation he captures here is momentous. It is nothing less than the death of one elitethe WASP Establishmentand the rise of anotherthe meritocratic establishment. Continue Article placeAd(2,'slate.homepage/slate') We all sense that this transformation occurred sometime after World War II. Lemann won't like me invoking them, but in The Bell Curve , Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein include one fact that starkly illustrates the shift. In 1952, the average verbal SAT score for incoming freshmen at Harvard was 583. Ninety percent of all applicants whose fathers had gone to Harvard were admitted. By 1960, the average verbal SAT score was 678. The middle student in the 1952 class would have been at the bottom of the 1960 class. The WASP gentlemen had been replaced by brainy strivers.

By David Plotz Posted Friday, June 29, 2001, at 5:30 PM PT Lawrence Summers takes office as president of Harvard University Sunday, an installation that marks a small but significant shift in American culture. The paramount hero of the Internet boom was the Power Nerd: unsocialized, aggressive, fiendishly smart. If Bill Gates was the epitome of the power-nerd businessman, Larry Summers embodied the power-nerd public servant. But Summers' ascent to treasury secretary and now Harvard's helm is confirmation that the power nerd has been domesticated. Gates softened his image with a $20 billion charity, soft-collar shirts, and media training; and megalomaniac nerds like Michael Saylor have skulked into hiding. (Even Larry Ellison seems humbler.) And Summers has been rewarded lavishly for his dogged pursuit of amiability.
