Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

"Some psychologist once did an analysis of some of our most popular novels. He/she attempted to calculate IQs of the authors by looking at thought complexity, sentence construction, ideas, themes, etc. He/she concluded that J.D. Salinger was one of the least intelligent of all the authors he/she reviewed." Reminds me about the comment on last night's "School" program about how Louis Terman popularized and legitimized the concept of IQ by publicizing his "calculation" of the IQ of historic figures like Washington, Lincoln, Kant, etc. I bet even today a lot of journalists would lap up such tripe. -----Original Message----- From: mkluznik@HOTMAIL.COM [mailto:mkluznik@HOTMAIL.COM] Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 6:11 PM To: ARN-L@listsrva.CUA.EDU Subject: Re: Bracey vs. Schlafly -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the ARN-L list, send command SIGNOFF ARN-L to LISTSERV@LISTS.CUA.EDU.
