SEWARD Crimson Staff Writer Article Options Email this article to a friend Send a letter to the editor Print this article The swelling torrent of criticism facing University President Lawrence H. Summers quickly broadened yesterday into a full-blown assault on his entire tenure in a shift which could ultimately prove far more damaging for Harvard’s embattled leader. The president’s critics, who had limited their attacks of late to Summers’ controversial comments on women in science, raised a litany of complaints at yesterday’s Faculty meeting, harkening back as far as the beginning of his term—and beyond. And while most professors who took the floor yesterday were long-time opponents of Summers, their remarks were most notable for the widespread, often thunderous applause which repeatedly erupted from the packed crowd of professors.

In the push toward higher student achievement, how can we bring their successes into the large schools most of our students attend? Straight from the bursting halls of a Sacramento, California middle school, at first Francisco Bustos did not know what to make of the tiny lakeshore community of Northport, Michigan. His father had moved the family there, to work first as an orchard laborer and then in a casino on a nearby reservation; and with only 311 fellow students in kindergarten through twelfth grade, Francisco, 14, felt shy and exposed. "I had a way of acting, before, that helped protect me from gangs and all," he says. "I had lost a lot of my friends to violence." Schoolwork mattered less than survival, and attitude was Francisco's chief defense.

But before and after writing his great treatises, Rawls produced a steady stream of essays, some of which articulate views of justice and liberalism distinct from those found in the two books. They are important in and of themselves because of the deep issues about the nature of justice, moral reasoning, and liberalism they raise as well as for the light they shed on the evolution of Rawls's views....

Brookings Governance Studies News Releases Calendar of Events ... Site Map The Meritocracy's Caste System: What's Good and Bad about the SAT The Washington Monthly December 1999 Thomas Toch Guest Scholar Governmental Studies Thomas Toch James Bryant Conant, the president of Harvard University and one of the most influential men of his day, wanted to replace this aristocracy of birth and wealth with what Thomas Jefferson called a "natural aristocracy" of the intellectually gifted from every walk of life, who would be educated to high standards and then be given the responsibility of governing society. The creation of what Conant called "Jefferson's ideal," a new intellectual elite selected strictly on the basis of talent, and dedicated to public service, would, he believed, make America a more democratic country. In The Big Test: The Secret History of the American Meritocracy, Nicholas Lemann reconstructs the extraordinary story of Conant, the SAT, and their roles in making education the central element of opportunity in post-World War II America. Brown Center on Education Policy Conant selected the SAT, which he believed to be a "mental" or intelligence test, over acheivement tests, created by the developer of the New York Regents exams, to measure a student's grasp of course content. Achievement tests, he argued, favored unexceptional rich boys (girls weren't part of Conant's meritocratic equation) whose parents could buy them top-flight high school instruction.

Conant: Harvard to Hiroshima and the Making of the Nuclear Age," by James G. Hershberg.

He vigorously defended the atomic bombing of Hiroshima but supported international control of the bomb after the war. He lobbied for universal military service but fought against the building of the hydrogen bomb and opposed atomic energy plants as not worth the proliferation risk. Selections from Full Text: ...The archival records were gratuitously classified as secret, journalists were fed slanted "intelligence" and the policymakers were allowed to write their memoirs with exclusive access to the classified record... ...He was the Harvard president who defined Hiroshima as a suitable target for the first atomic bomb: "a vital war plant employing a large number of workers and closely surrounded by workers' houses... ...Throughout World War II, he was president of Harvard in name only, devoting all his energies to supervising the Manhattan Project as chairman of the S-1 (atomic bomb) Executive Committee...

PRESIDENT AND MRS. CLINTON AWARD NATIONAL HUMANITIES MEDALS WASHINGTON - President William J. Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton awarded the 1999 National Humanities Medal to eight distinguished Americans in a ceremony at D.A.R. Constitution Hall on Wednesday, Sept. 29. The Humanities Medalists were also honored at a White House dinner. "The 1999 National Humanities Medalists are distinguished individuals who have set the highest standards for American cultural achievement," said William R. Ferris, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which sponsors the award. "They are gifted people with extraordinary powers of creativity and vision, and their work in preserving, interpreting and expanding the nation's cultural heritage represents an incalculable public service. I am delighted to announce this year's recipients." The 1999 National Humanities Medal recipients are: Patricia M. Battin (Washington, D.C.) librarian who has organized and led a national campaign to save millions of disintegrating books published between 1850 and 1950; galvanized congressional support for a national program to microfilm these brittle books, thereby preserving their content as a significant part of the record of American civilization.

Lives of the Laureates, Seven Nobel Economists JAMES TOBIN Edited by William Breit and Roger W. Spencer The MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, London, England, 1986 Beginning with Keynes at Harvard Rare is the child, I suspect, who wants to grow up to be an economist, or a professor. I grew up in a university town and went to a university-run high school, where most of my friends were faculty kids. I was so unfailing an A student that it was boring even to me. But I don’t recall thinking of an academic career. I liked journalism, my father’s occupation; I had put out "newspapers" of my own from age six. I thought of law; I loved to argue, and beginning in my teens I was fascinated by politics. I guess I knew that there was economics at the university, but I didn't know what the subject really was. Of course, economic issues were always coming up in classes on history and government — civics, in those days. I expected economics to be among die social science courses I would someday take in college, probably part of the pre-law curriculum. I grew up happily assuming I would go to college in my hometown, to the University of Illinois. One month before I was scheduled to enroll as a freshman, I was offered and accepted a Conant Prize Fellowship at Harvard. I should explain how this happened. My father, a learned man, a voracious reader, the biggest customer of the Champaign Public Library, discovered in
