Abraham Flexner was een invloedrijke Amerikaanse pedagoog die bekend stond om zijn baanbrekende hervormingen in het medisch en hoger onderwijs in de Verenigde Staten en Canada. Zijn scherpe kritiek op de bestaande onderwijssystemen leidde tot ingrijpende veranderingen die academische instellingen en pedagogische benaderingen opnieuw vorm gaven. Flexner was ook medeoprichter van het Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, een centrum voor baanbrekend intellectueel onderzoek en samenwerking.

A thoughtful appeal for long-term thinking in a time full of short-term distractions.--Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Alphabet Inc.
