"Peshkin's analysis tells us much about the nature of the institution that enshrines excellence, with all its concomitant tensions. For the psychologist, reaching a clearer understanding of ambient excellence and its causes and then doing one's best to apply it elsewhere would be a profound sharing of wealth."
—American Journal of Psychology
