Doctor of Letters Author and editor Max Hall '32C helps writers heal themselves By John D. Thomas Mix-Ups Aplenty : Excerpts from An Embarrassment of Misprints I n 1631, a British printer named Robert Barker published an edition of the Bible that contained a rather salacious misprint. In the Book of Exodus, the Seventh Commandment appeared without the word "not." Hence, the divine directive read, "Thou shalt commit adultery." The book went on to be known as "The Wicked Bible," and, needless to say, the mistake destroyed Barker's career. (Rumor has it the deletion was the result of a rival printer's subterfuge.) "I suppose that's the most dreadful typo in history," says Emory alumnus Max Hall. His new book, An Embarrassment of Misprints , contains more than one hundred fifty such errors he has collected over the years. "Some people are bird watchers," Hall wrote in a 1993 Harvard Magazine article that served as the basis for his book. "I am a typo watcher." One of his favorites appeared in a Village Voice theater review of a revival of Harvey , Mary C. Chase's 1944 Pulitzer Prize-winning play about a drunk and the giant imaginary hare only he can see. "The article said this man was followed around by a six-foot-tall white rabbi," says Hall, chuckling. "That's the kind I like."

The European Union is funding this initiative as part of a broader effort to promote the people-to-people ties outlined in the New Transatlantic Agenda, which provides a framework for EU-US relations. The EU received 69 applications for EU Centers and interviewed 17 finalists, then awarded EU Center grants to the University of Washington and the following nine other universities or consortia: University of Georgia/Georgia Institute of Technology, Harvard, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Missouri-Columbia, New York University/Columbia University/City University of New York, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill/Duke University, University of Pittsburgh, Scripps College/The Claremont Colleges/University of Southern California and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The University of Washington is the only university on the West Coast to have been designated both a European Union Center and a National Resource Center for West European Studies by the U.S. Department of Education.

The Retriever - Opinion Point: Standardized Tests Indicate Potential Rachael Singerman "I’m a person not a number: don’t judge me by my score!" Ever heard that line? The same complaint is issued after every standardized test from the MPSATS in third grade to the LSATs in college. Standardized tests are even charged with racism, discrimination, class warfare and generally contributing to the creation of a more unequal union. Admittedly, many standardized testing strategies are flawed or used inappropriately. However, standardized tests remain the best available method of uniformly assessing innate intelligence and academic achievement. So sit down and start studying because standardized tests are here to stay. Recent remarks by University of California president Richard Atkinson have sparked debate over the granddaddy of standardized tests, the SAT. Atkinson proposes making the SAT an optional admissions requirement for the 90,000 students who apply to the U of C every year. He claims that the SAT causes an undue amount of stress and needlessly takes student’s attention away from other academic pursuits such as biology or journalism. Besides, says Atkinson, "who knows what they measure" anyway? As a student who underwent the ritual of the SAT, I agree the test causes a grotesque amount of pressure. However, the pressure is not intrinsic flaw of the SATs or standardized testing. The problem is that the SAT is being applied in the wrong situations. Harvard Assistant Dean, James Bryant Conant developed the SAT during the 1930s and 40s. He designed it as an IQ test, which could be used to weed out the brightest few for Ivy League schools. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Monday, November 15, 1999 New book recounts history of SAT In The Big Test, readers are shown for the first time the ideas, people and politics behind the Scholastic Assessment Test, begun 50 years ago as a utopian experiment. Launched by James Bryant Conant, president of Harvard University, and Henry Chauncey, head of the brand-new Educational Testing Service, it used the then-young science of intelligence testing to assess and sort American students fairly and dispassionately. The goal was to create a new democratic elite that would lead postwar America to progress, strength and prosperity. Currently a staff writer at The New Yorker, Lemann gained access to the ETS archives. The Big Test reveals the secret history of this major effort to unseat the quasi-hereditary white male elite that had run America. Lemann describes the consequences, for individual lives and society as a whole, of this effort to create a new meritocracy. The Big Test asks profound moral and political questions about what makes for a good society, and what condition the United States is in today. UGA Today News Bureau Master Calendar Columns ...

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.

Yet the Allies may not have won World War II without this man whom history forgot. As Jennet Conant's heart-thumping book recounts, Loomis was a public-spirited citizen with the brilliance and ability to galvanize the scientific community to invent first the potent weapon that came to be called radar to spare London from bombs and to destroy U-boats, and later contributed to the making of the atom bomb. Long after you race to the end, this heroic story will linger in memory. About the Author Jennet Conant's profiles have appeared in Vanity Fair, Esquire, GQ, Newsweek, and The New York Times. She was given unrestricted access to Loomis' and Conant's papers, as well as to previously unpublished letters and documents, and she interviewed Loomis' many family members, friends, and colleagues. She lives in New York City and Sag Harbor with her husband and son.

Selected Readings by Daniel Traister '63 Manhattan Project Anyone interested in the Manhattan Project and its aftermath should start with Richard Rhodes's The Making of the Atomic Bomb (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1986) and Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1995). Both available in paperback, they are long books but they're immensely readable, and they are about as good as introductory histories get. The Cold War Basic for the cultural background of Cold War America, viewed from a "nuclear" perspective, is Paul S. Boyer, By the Bomb's Early Light: American Thought and Culture at the Dawn of the Atomic Age (1985; reprinted Chapel Hill, N.C.: University of North Carolina Press, 1994, paperback). Related books by Allan M. Winkler , Life Under a Cloud: American Anxiety about the Atom (New York: Oxford University Press, 1993), Margot A. Henriksen, Dr. Strangelove's America: Society and Culture in the Atomic Age Letter Bomb: Nuclear Holocaust and the Exploding World (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992) are also worthwhile.
