- Abraham Flexner was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and was the first in his family to complete high school and go on to college. In 1886, at age 19, he completed a B.A. in classics at Johns Hopkins University after only two years. In 1905, he pursued graduate studies in psychology at Harvard University and the University of Berlin. Becoming a prominent figure in American and Canadian education reform, Flexner had a profound impact on many areas, especially medical education, where his influence can be seen even today in the training of medical professionals, physician culture, and the relationship between medical research and practice. More than any other single individual, it was Flexner who developed the idea for the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, serving as founding Director from 1930 to 1939.
