Merit vs. Equality
Bell, Daniel (1919–2011)
Daniel Bell was one of the most influential American sociologists and social theorists in the middle years of the twentieth century.

Selling Merit Down the River
The River Pilots are at it again. And they are as confused as ever. Their latest endeavor, Taming the River (River III, 2009), offers a detailed analysis of the results of two sets of questionnaires given to a representative sample of college students at twenty-eight selective colleges and universities who matriculated as freshmen in the fall of 1999. Like their earlier work, The Source of the River (River II, 2003), which examined the achievemen…

Russell Nieli tells how the Gerst and Focus programs have influenced that university…

In Britain, however, by the end of the seventeenth century, this suspicion had all but vanished as most Christians began to accommodate themselves to the exigencies of an increasingly dynamic commercial society. This article takes up the early eighteenth-century controversy over the compatibili…
