built 208 days ago
Albert Schweitzer was born on January 14th, 1875, the son of a Lutheran pastor in the village of Alsace, Germany (now part of France). Early on, he showed an interest in playing the organ, studying under some of Europe’s finest organists. Eventually he became an expert on the life and music of J.S. Bach, writing an authoritative biography, and he was ... recognized as the world’s leading expert in organ building. Schweitzer received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Strasbourg, and he also studies at the Sorbonne and the University of Berlin. In 1899, after receiving his doctorate, he was appointed to the staff of St. Nicholai’s church in Strasbourg.

In 1965 the New York State Board of Regents awarded New York State University the funds to create an Albert Schweitzer chair in the Humanities as part of a state-wide attempt to improve higher learning. Several chairs, five of which were designated by the State Legislature as the Albert Schweitzer Chair and five as the Albert Einstein Chair in Science, were intended to attract the world's most renowned scholars to New York State's higher educational community. The inventory to the Records of the Albert Schweitzer Chair in the Humanities chronicles the records of this position from 1965-1984. The recipients of the additional chairs were City University of New York, Cornell University, the University of Rochester, State University of New York at Stony Brook and Fordham University... such chairs are not recorded in this inventory.
