 “What Summers didn’t spell out is that boys
owe their edge in math to the unusually high
performance of a relatively small number of
boys in a pool that also has more that its share
of low-scoring students” (Hulbert 415).
 “But we must not forget that women are, on the
average, a little less intelligent than men, a
difference which we should not exaggerate but
which is, nonetheless, real” (Broca qtd. in Gould
350).

Summers' remarks on women draw fire
By Marcella Bombardieri, Globe Staff | January 17,
2005
CAMBRIDGE -- The president of Harvard University,
Lawrence H. Summers, sparked an uproar at an academic
conference Friday when he said that innate differences
between men and women might be one reason fewer
women succeed in science and math careers. Summers
also questioned how much of a role discrimination plays in
the dearth of female professors in science and engineering
at elite universities.
Nancy Hopkins, a biologist at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, walked out on Summers' talk, saying later that
if she hadn't left, ''I would've either blacked out or thrown
up." Five other participants reached by the Globe,
including Denise D. Denton, chancellor designate of the
University of California, Santa Cruz, also said they were
deeply offended, while four other attendees said they were
not.
