"Abraham Flexner (1866 - 1959), an American educator, became best known for his role in the 20th-century reform of medical and higher education in the United States and Canada. After founding and directing a college-preparatory school in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, Flexner published a critical assessment of the state of the American educational system in 1908 titled The American College: A Criticism. His work attracted the Carnegie Foundation to commission from him an in-depth evaluation into 155 medical schools in the US and Canada. His resulting Flexner Report, published in 1910, sparked the reform of medical education in the United States and Canada. In 1930 Flexner founded the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, which brought together some of the greatest minds in history to collaborate on intellectual discovery and research.
