@TBroekel @Toffeemen68 Turn of the 20th century was a very exciting period for this type of stuff, by all accounts 😄 But if you want to read more about those tables Cattell made, I recommend this paper (though there are more): https://t.co/BaAhxHSHHu

Interesting! James McKeen Cattell (1860–1944) published the first university ranking in 1910. His calculation of the ‘Scientific strength of institutions’ listed US universities in descending order depending on the number of eminent scientists employed.
@deepak_malghan In a way, it is inseparable. The article I link here also speaks to those links. But it is not all eugenics, it's a little more complex than that, that's all I am saying. https://t.co/BaAhxHSHHu

How generous... Anyway, access to this really great article by Björn Hammarfelt, @sarahderijcke and @paulwouters is now open. This is a great piece of genealogy of rankings and measurement with a murky eugenic background. Definitely worth your attention! #
