Article 10: “Abraham and Simon Flexner: Medical Education Reformers in the U.S.A.”
Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) NO: ED443 765: ABSTRACT: This paper (in the form of a dialogue) tells the stories of two members of a remarkable family of nine children, the Flexners of Louisville, Kentucky. The paper focuses on Abraham and Simon, who were reformers in the field of medical education in the United States. The dialogue takes Abraham Flexner through his undergraduate education at Johns Hopkins University, his founding of a school that specialized in educating wealthy (but underachieving) boys, and his marriage to Anne Laziere Crawford. Abraham and his colleague, Henry S. Pritchett, traveled around the country assessing 155 medical schools in hopes of professionalizing medical education. The travels culminated in a report on “Medical Education in the United States and Canada” (1910). Abraham capped his career by creating the first significant “think tank,” the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. The paper also profiles Simon Flexner, a pharmacist whose dream was to become a pathologist. Simon, too, gravitated to Johns Hopkins University where he became chief pathologist and wrote over 200 pathology and bacteriology reports between 1890-1909. He also helped organize the Peking Union Medical College in Peking, China, and was appointed Eastman Professor at Oxford University. (End)

Article 19. “General Robert E. Lee (1807-70) and Philanthropist George Peabody (1795-1869) at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, July 23-August 30, 1869.”
ERIC NO: ED444 917. ABSTRACT: This paper discusses the chance meeting at White Sulphur Springs (West Virginia) of two important public figures, Robert E. Lee and George Peabody, whose rare encounter marked a symbolic turn from Civil War bitterness toward reconciliation and the lifting power of education. The paper presents an overview of Lee’s life and professional and military career followed by an overview of Peabody’s life and career as a banker, an educational philanthropist, and one who endowed seven Peabody Institute libraries. Both men were in ill health when they visited the Greenbrier Hotel in the summer of 1869, but Peabody had not long to live and spent his time confined to a cottage where he received many visitors. Peabody received a resolution of praise from southern dignitaries which read, in part: “On behalf of the southern people we tender thanks to Mr. Peabody for his aid to the cause of education…and hail him benefactor.” A photograph survives that shows Lee, Peabody, and William Wilson Corcoran sitting together at the Greenbrier. Reporting that Lee’s own illness kept him from attending Peabody’s funeral, the paper describes the impressive and prolonged international services in 1870. It also discusses historic events around the time of Peabody’s death, especially the “Trent Affair,” and Prime Minister Gladstone and Queen Victoria’s gratefulness to Peabody for his housing gift in relieving the conditions of the poor of London. Author research information and a list of publications on Peabody are included. (End).

22. “James Albert Michener (1907-97): Educator, Textbook Editor, Journalist, Writer-Novelist, and Educational Philanthropist. An Imaginary Conversation,” by Franklin Parker and Betty Parker, bfparker@frontiernet.net Part 1 of 2 Parts.
ERIC ED 474 132 Abstract: This paper presents an imaginary conversation between an interviewer and the novelist, James Michener (1907-1997). Starting with Michener’s early life experiences in Doylestown (Pennsylvania), the conversation includes his family’s poverty, his wanderings across the United States, and his reading at the local public library. The dialogue includes his education at Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania), St. Andrews University (Scotland), Colorado State University (Fort Collins, Colorado) where he became a social studies teacher, and Harvard (Cambridge, Massachusetts) where he pursued, but did not complete, a Ph.D. in education. Michener’s experiences as a textbook editor at Macmillan Publishers and in the U.S. Navy during World War II are part of the discourse. The exchange elaborates on how Michener began to write fiction, focuses on his great success as a writer, and notes that he and his wife donated over $100 million to educational institutions over the years. Lists five selected works about James Michener and provides a year-by-year Internet search on the author. (End)

The paper looks at a multifaceted history covering 217 years of 6 consecutive charter-connected educational institutions in Nashville, Tennessee, that culminate in the present institution, Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College. It examines schooling in frontier Nashville before Tennessee became a state (1796) and before and after it became the Athens of the South; the relationship between Peabody College’s predecessors and neighboring Vanderbilt University and the merger that occurred in 1979; and the philanthropic intent of George Peabody and Peabody College’s continuing pursuit of his dream to uplift the U.S. South and advance the nation through professionally prepared teachers serving public schools.

28. “Educational Philanthropist George Peabody (1795-1869) and first U. S. Paleontology Prof. Othniel Charles Marsh (1831-99) at Yale University.”
ERIC ED 422 243. ABSTRACT: This paper describes the lives and contributions of George
Peabody and his nephew Othniel Charles Marsh. Marsh influenced his uncle’s gifts to science and science education, particularly in the founding of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard, the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale, and the Peabody Academy of Science, now the Peabody Essex Museum, at Salem, Massachusetts. The paper deals with the relationship of these two men and the achievements of their lives. George Peabody became one of the most noted educational philanthropists of the 19th-century, founding numerous educational libraries and museums. O. C. (Othniel Charles) Marsh became a Yale professor of paleontology, director of Yale’s Peabody Museum of Natural History, president of the National Academy of Sciences (12 years), and a noted researcher prominent in national science affairs.

“How Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Changed the Way We See the Universe,” by Franklin and Betty J. Parker, bfparker@frontiernet.net
March 19, 2008How Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Changed the Way We See the Universe,” by Franklin and Betty J. Parker, bfparker@frontiernet.net Review of Walter Isaacson’s Einstein, His Life and Universe, NY: Simon & Schuster, 2007, and related sources, given March 17, 2008, Uplands Retirement Village. Pleasant Hill, TN.
This is the true story of an independent loner, largely self-taught, a high school dropout who failed his technical college entrance exam, entered that technical college by the skin of his teeth, irritated his professors, barely graduated, and—by not bowing to authority—had to live hand-to-mouth on low pay substitute teaching for 18 months. In 1905, while a lowly Swiss Patent Office clerk, he published 5 papers which changed the way we see the universe. How did he do it?
We are not scientists. What follows is our laypersons’ understanding of journalist-author Walter Isaacson’s 2007 bestseller Einstein, His Life and Universe.1 Author Isaacson, Time magazine’s managing editor when his staff voted Einstein the most important person of the 20th century,2 now heads the Aspen Institute, a think tank for executives, Washington, D.C.3
Recently opened Albert Einstein archives account for Isaacson’s Einstein biography, plus another biography by German science writer Jürgen Neffe.4 Over 500 Einstein biographies exist. An Einstein film based on Isaacson’s book is planned plus other Einstein film projects.5
This interest in Einstein, we think, comes from his newly opened papers. While known as a scientific genius, few people know of his troubled early life; fewer know how he changed the way we see the universe.
Albert’s father Hermann Einstein (1847-1902), at age 29 in Bavaria, Germany, married Pauline Koch (1858-1920), age 18 in 1876, both non-observing Jews. Pauline, his mother, a prosperous grain dealer’s daughter, was cultured, well read, a pianist and music lover. Hermann, whom she dominated, was generous, thoughtful, a devoted husband and father who failed in business.6
Albert Einstein was born March 14, 1879, in Ulm, near Stuttgart, Germany; born into a world where Isaac Newton’s (1642-1727) laws of motion and gravity had satisfactorily explained earth’s place in the universe over 200 years earlier. No one then dreamed that anyone, let alone Albert Einstein, would add significantly to Newton’s laws.
Albert grew up among electric generators and motors. His uncle, engineer-inventor Jakob Einstein (1850-1912), introduced electricity into southern German towns, as Thomas Edison (1847-1931) did in New York City.7 Pauline Einstein, with a Koch family loan, encouraged husband Hermann’s partnership with Jakob. After Albert’s birth, the Einsteins moved (1880) from Ulm to Munich for better business opportunity.
Albert’s big head at birth and his being a late talker evoked fear that he was abnormal. Albert later told a biographer, “My parents were worried because I started to talk comparatively late, and they consulted a doctor….”8
When Albert was 2 his only sibling sister was born, Marie, called “Maja” Einstein (1881-1951). She later described him as quiet and introspective.9
When Albert was 4 and ill, his father gave him a compass to play with. Albert later wrote: “When I saw…[its needle always point north, no matter how I turned it], the fact that it behaved in such a fixed way changed my understanding of the world. Until then, I thought that one thing had to touch another to make it move…. I realized that something deeply hidden had to lie behind things.” 10 These thoughts were an early hint of his lifelong search for unity in nature.
Albert was kept at home until age 7, taught the 3 Rs by a tutor, then enrolled in a nearby Catholic primary school, ages 7 to 9, 1885-88. He did well academically, received Catholic religious instruction in school plus state-required private Jewish instruction from a relative at home.
Taken as a little boy to watch a Prussian military parade, he cried out in horror: “I don’t want to be [regimented like]…those poor people.”11 He disliked school discipline and rote learning, especially in secondary school at Munich’s Luitpold Gymnasium, 6 years, ages 9 to 15 (1888-94).
Good in science and math, less interested in other subjects, he irritated some teachers by questioning their knowledge. Asked about Albert’s potential, his headmaster said: “…he’ll never make a success.” Told by a teacher that he was not welcome in class, Albert said he had done nothing wrong. His teacher said: “Yes, …but you sit there in the back row and smile and your mere presence here spoils the respect of the class for me.” Albert later called his primary teachers sergeants, his gymnasium teachers lieutenants.12
Uncle Jakob taught him algebra. Albert mastered calculus by age 12. Reading math and science books reinforced his appreciation of orderliness in nature. He later said: “As a boy of 12, I was thrilled to see that it was possible to find out truth by reasoning alone, without the help of any outside experience.”13
Piano and violin lessons, urged by his mother, made him a lifelong violinist. He saw harmony and unity in music, science, and nature.
Max Talmey (1867-1941), age 21, a poor Polish Jewish medical student, invited to Thursday night dinners from 1889 for a few years, shared with Albert, from the age of 10, table talk on science, math, and philosophy.14
Talmey gave Albert a popular natural science book series describing current scientific experiments.15 The books were full of imaginative, creative what-ifs, leading Albert at 16 to ask: “What if I could ride alongside a beam of light?” This question eventually led to his 1905 and 1915 theories of relativity.
Asked years later (1921) what he thought of those science books, Albert said: very good books, “[They] exerted a great influence on my whole development.”16
Talmey, spurring Albert’s curiosity at an impressionable age, remarked in his 1932 book about young Albert’s “exceptional intelligence [which enabled him to discuss with me, a college graduate,] subjects far beyond the comprehension of so young a child.”17
Albert, religious before age 10, became a doubter from age 12. He read with Talmey philosopher Immanuel Kant’s (1724-1804) Critique of Pure Reason, discussed Kant’s belief that the universe can be understood by thought alone. Albert read and agreed with philosopher Benedict Spinoza (1632-77) that God works through nature’s orderliness.
Business failure caused the Einsteins to move to Italy near their northern Italy partner firm in Milan, then to nearby Pavia. Albert at 15 needed 3 more years to complete secondary school. His parents decided he should remain in Munich where an Einstein relative would look after him until he graduated.
Lonely, unhappy, Albert looked for a way out of the Munich Gymnasium, which he disliked, knowing some teachers disliked him. He also dreaded German compulsory military service at age 17, two years ahead.
Albert, alone, age 15, asked the family physician for a letter stating that because of isolation from his family he was suffering from nervous exhaustion and needed the bracing air of northern Italy. From his math teacher he got a letter listing his high math scores.
This high school dropout took a train to Pavia, Italy,18 arrived unexpectedly at his parents’ home, and told them why he had dropped out of school and how he planned to continue his education.
He would study on his own, take the entrance exam in autumn 1895 to enter the highly regarded Polytechnic College in Zurich, Switzerland,19 which did not require secondary school graduation if an applicant passed its high entrance exams. He also said: I want to renounce my German citizenship.
His concerned father prudently delayed submitting renunciation of German citizenship forms until Albert in Switzerland had applied for Swiss citizenship. Albert was stateless from 1896 until granted Swiss citizenship in 1901.
Helping in the family’s Pavia shop with its electric lighting equipment, Albert impressed Uncle Jakob by quickly solving electrical problems. Uncle Jakob assured everyone: “You will hear from him yet.”
In spring and summer 1895 Albert hiked the Alps and Apennines from Pavia to Genoa to see his maternal Uncle Julius Koch. He visited art and other culture centers, delighted at Italian friendliness, so unlike the stern Germans.
Reading physics textbooks helped him prepare for the Zurich Polytechnic entrance exams. He would be 16 when he took the Polytechnic entrance test intended for age 18 and older. A family friend got him a waiver of the age requirement.20
Albert passed the Zurich Polytechnic test in math and science but failed other subjects. Polytechnic Director Albin Herzog (1852-1909) suggested that Albert take a final secondary school year of guided study at nearby Aarau high school, whose graduates were automatically admitted to the Zurich Polytechnic.21
Aarau Cantonal High School, 25 miles west of Zurich, influenced by progressive Swiss educator Johann Pestalozzi (1746-1827),22 was teacher-friendly, student-centered, perfect for Albert.
He later told a friend: “In Aarau I made my first rather childish experiments in thinking that had a direct bearing on the Special [Relativity] Theory. If a person could run after a light wave with the same speed as light, you would have a wave arrangement which could be completely independent of time….”23
He boarded with principal Jost and Rosa Winteler. Marie, one of their 7 children, was Albert’s first girl friend; she 18, he 16.24
With the Wintelers, Albert developed a quick wit and debonair jesting manner. When not in class or studying or hiking or playing violin duets or flirting with Marie Winteler, he joined the Winteler family’s liberal conversation.25
Graduating from the Aarau Cantonal High School with the second highest grades except in French, he wrote of his future plans as follows:
“…I will enroll in the Zurich Polytechnic….stay…four years [1896-1900] to study mathematics and physics…. I will be a teacher …of these sciences…. ¶[I have a] talent for abstract…thinking…. I am attracted by…the profession of science.”26
Albert enrolled, Oct. 29, 1896, in Zurich Polytechnic’s department preparing secondary school math and physics teachers, headed by Prof. Heinrich Weber (1842-1913).27
Romance came at Zurich Polytechnic with Mileva Maric (1875-1948), the only woman student in this department, from Novi Sad, Serbia, daughter of a wealthy landowner and judge. 28
Mileva, bright in math and physics, determined to succeed, had won top honors in an all-male Serbian scientif
