現在將Wikipedia 的稍微修正英文版列出供參考:

Abraham Flexner (November 13, 1866, Louisville, Kentucky - September 21, 1959) was an American educator. His Flexner Report, published in 1910, reformed medical education in the United States. He also helped found the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

"Scott Newstok’s How to Think like Shakespeare: Lessons from a Renaissance Education really is a feel good book. A thick lather of the author’s enthusiasm, a comprehensive coverage of his subject matter, and the common sense inherent in his value judgments, work together to whip up a likeminded enthusiasm in his readers . . . I found the experience of reading Newstok nothing short of exhilarating."

Princeton University Chapel. The Princeton University Chapel is located on that university's main campus in Princeton, New Jersey, United States. ... Designed in 1921 by Ralph Adams Cram in his signature Collegiate Gothic style, it was built by the university between 1924 and 1928 at a cost of $2.3 million.



Following the restoration, the chapel was rededicated in an interfaith ceremony in which people belonging to BuddhismChristianityIslam, and Judaism gave prayers.[21] Leading the ceremony, then-Dean of Religious Life Thomas Breidenthal said, "This edifice is unmistakably Christian, [but] this chapel is meant to belong to all of us."[22]   這個大廈無疑是基督教的,但是這個教堂是屬於我們所有人的
