About Our Sponsor, the Center for Visionary Law September / October 1999 Mark Satin, Editor Seriously, folks do we really need a meritocracy? Everybody thinks the tension between “winners” and “losers” is increasing in this country, but nobody knows how to respond. Oh, there are proposals for narrowing the gaps between winners and losers proposals for fairer taxation, broader access to medical care, etc. But among progressives and conservatives alike, it’s heresy to suggest there’s something fishy about the way most middle class people become “winners” in the first place. Surely most non-wealthy people who become doctors, lawyers, top-tier college professors, etc., reach those vaunted stations in life in large part because of their talents and abilities? And it’s beyond heresy beyond even the worst Sixties claptrap to suggest that we don’t need “winners” at all. Isn’t it? In an extraordinary book released this month, The Big Test: The Secret History of the American Meritocracy (Farrar, Straus, 406 pp., $27), Nicholas Lemann one of our most prominent “neoliberal” journalists

    Extractions: "Educational communities," wrote James Bryant Conant, Harvard's midcentury president, "mirror the life of the nation of which they are a part." Depicting the evolution of twentieth-century Harvard in the broader context of national and world events, Harvard Observed shows how changes in the structure and aspirations of American society led the University to remake itself after World War II, and to do so again after the social upheavals of the Vietnam era. The book opens in 1898, when a quick victory in the Spanish-American War made the United States a world power. The narrative spans the presidencies of Charles William Eliot, A. Lawrence Lowell, James Bryant Conant, Nathan Pusey, Derek Bok, and Neil Rudenstine, tracing the ups and downs of America's oldest university in a century that saw the dismantling of empires, war on a planetary scale, the age of flight, electronic communications, the evolution of jazz and rock music, the parsing of the atom, artificial intelligence, the arrival of film as a major art form, genetic engineering, global interdependence, and the exploration of deep space. As a documentary of the changing institutional life of a major research university

    Extractions: Pietro Pezzati's portrait of Lowell is at the Harvard Club of Boston. PHOTOGRAPH: STEPHEN SYLVESTER AND ROBERT ZINC - IMAGING SERVICES, WIDENER LIBRARY, Courtesy of the Harvard Club of Boston "I have lived my entire life in one area, I have been happily married for 45 years, and I have been in one business field," observed Ralph Lowell '12 in the fiftieth anniversary report of his Harvard class. "That is, I suppose, a picture of a 'Proper Bostonian.'" But Lowell, who also looked the part, was not just another cardboard figure out of Cleveland Amory's 1947 book of that title. By the early 1960s, Lowell was widely hailed as "Mr. Boston" for his service as a trustee of almost every important charitable, civic, and cultural institution in his native city. In 1973, Lowell was one of seven citizens officially recognized as "Grand Bostonians" for lives that "mirrored the spirit and dignity that have made [Boston] and its people so extraordinary." The Late George Apley sought to pass on to his son, to "think of one's self as a steward who owes the community a definite debt," came naturally. Ever since 1776, when a sixth-generation Massachusetts Lowell left Newburyport for Boston, family members had helped shape the city's history. Ralph Lowell's career as a bank executive would never match the pioneering achievements of industrialist Francis Cabot Lowell; his contributions to Boston's cultural scene as a foundation trustee were negligible alongside those of literary giants James Russell Lowell and Robert Lowell; and his role in guiding Harvard as a two-term Overseer paled in comparison to that of President A. Lawrence Lowell; nonetheless, he played an important part in the making of a "New Boston" during the mid twentieth century. Harvard's honorary degree citation in 1952 neatly summed up his life: "Worthy bearer of a famous name; a public-spirited Bostonian devoted to the welfare of his community and his College."

    Extractions: The death of Henry Chauncey attracted little attention this month. His family and friends didn't gather around Larry King or even Charlie Rose to reminisce about his full and remarkable 97 years. He wasn't a Nobel Prize winner or a minor celebrity. All Chauncey did was change the way we live. He turned the Scholastic Aptitude Test into a national obsession. Recall, say, the past year of cocktail parties and other gatherings you may have attended, and, surely, the SAT has surfaced at least once. Someone has a tale to tell, and the scores slowly tumble into conversation. ``I got a 1450, and couldn't believe it. I barely cracked a book all of high school,'' goes one version. Another confesses: ``I am terrible at standardized tests. I had all As, and still took the SAT five times to get above 1000.''

Currently, he teaches at the School of Visual Arts. "Oh wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us!" Robert Burns staff the new electronic economy of the information age. They differ from their predecessors though—they are anything but square. They do not seek money—it seeks them. They are excruciatingly politically correct, and what they do must have significance beyond material gain. There is almost an air of desperation about their inconspicuous conspicuous consumption. They are not quite as Christlike as Kerouac’s Subterraneans , but they aspire. They are really nice. David Brooks, a senior editor at the conservative Weekly Standard , lets us read all about it in his book, Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There . We’ve been subjected to the Hippies, Yippies, Yuppies, and Buppies. Now it’s the "Bobos," his term for the new caste of "bourgeois bohemians" who now seems to have most of the good jobs. He explains that this stealth revolution got under way shortly after the World War II when Harvard president and establishment super-pillar James Bryant Conant apparently became worried that the hereditary WASP aristocrats he had been training were too dumb to run the brave new world of the American empire. Give him credit for reacting in the traditional American way by importing new brains.

Ulich wrote, "Nothing is more dangerous to mankind than the divine gift of faith uncontrolled by the equally divine gift of reason."

Or do they chiefly identify the richest and the most expensively educated?

    Extractions: The Cover: Inorganic Photochemistry Redux This month's cover was quilted from false-color luminescence images of a model of an airplane wing undergoing wind-tunnel testing. The colors indicate different pressures on different parts of the surface and are obtained from the intensity of fluorescence from a pressure sensing paint (see the paper by Gouterman that begins on page 679). This is one of thirteen papers in this issue that were generated from presentations at the symposium on inorganic photochemistry at the ACS national meeting last fall in Orlando, FL. The symposium, organized by Kirk S. Schanze and Russell H. Schmehl, updates a symposium, "Inorganic Photochemistry: State of the Art", that took place at an ACS meeting in Seattle in 1983. The earlier one, organized by Morton Hoffman, was published in the October 1983 issue of the Journal and is still available as a reprint volume from JCE Books (see page 635, ref 1). Schanze and Schmehl provide an overview of the symposium papers beginning on page 633. Many full-color illustrations from these papers, including the two false-color images of airplane wings that form the cover, appear in this overview. This issue in combination with the earlier state-of-the-art reprint volume provides an excellent overview of a very important area of research that has broad applicability to biochemistry, solid-state chemistry, and chemical sensing.

    Extractions: ISSN 0009-2347 [Previous Story] [Next Story] Obituaries Roger E. 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.
