The institute was founded in 1930 by Abraham Flexner, together with philanthropists Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld.Flexner (1910).Bonner, p. 237. Flexner was interested in education generally and as early as 1890 he had founded an experimental school which had no formal curriculum, exams, or grades. It was a great success at preparing students for prestigious colleges and this same philosophy would later guide him in the founding of the Institute for Advanced Study.[http://www.hektoeninternational.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=162 Abraham Flexner: his life and legacy] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160416021945/http://hektoeninternational.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=162 |date=April 16, 2016 }} by M. Saleem Seyal, MD, Hektoen International Journal: A Journal of Medical Humanities, Summer 2013

Flexner's study of medical schools, the 1910 Flexner Report, played a major role in the reform of medical education.Gunderman. Flexner had studied European schools such as Heidelberg University, All Souls College, Oxford, and the {{Lang|fr|Collège de France|italic=no}}–and he wanted to establish a similar advanced research center in the United States.[https://www.timeshighereducation.com/books/hellcat-life-saver-survivor-and-one-man-quality-agency/185709.article Review of Iconoclast: Abraham Flexner and a Life in Learning] in Times Higher Education, December 19, 2003: "his inspiration was All Souls College in Oxford"Flexner (1930), pp. 362–363.

In his autobiography, Abraham Flexner reports a phone call which he received in the fall of 1929 from representatives of the Bamberger siblings that led to their partnership and the eventual founding of the IAS:Flexner (1960), p. 232.

{{blockquote|text=I was working quietly one day when the telephone rang and I was asked to see two gentlemen who wished to discuss with me the possible uses to which a considerable sum of money might be placed. At our interview, I informed them that my competency was limited to the education field and that in this field it seemed to me that the time was ripe for the creation in America of an institute in the field of general scholarship and science, resembling the Rockefeller Institute in the field of medicine—developed by my brother Simon—not a graduate school, training men in the known and to some extent in methods of research, but an institute where everyone—faculty and members—took for granted what was known and published, and in their individual ways, endeavored to advance the frontiers of knowledge.}}

The Bamberger siblings wanted to use the proceeds from the sale of their Bamberger's department store in Newark, New Jersey, to fund a dental school as an expression of gratitude to the state of New Jersey.Nasar, pp. 51–55. Flexner convinced them to put their money in the service of more abstract research.Axtell (2007). (There was a brush with near-disaster when the Bambergers pulled their money out of the market just before the Crash of 1929.)Nasar, p. 55.Villani p. 62-63. The eminent topologist Oswald VeblenFeuer, p. 98. at Princeton University, who had long been trying to found a high-level research institute in mathematics, urged Flexner to locate the new institute near Princeton where it would be close to an existing center of learning and a world-class library.Bonner, pp. 247–248. In 1932 Veblen resigned from Princeton and became the first professor in the new Institute for Advanced Study. He selected most of the original faculty and also helped the institute acquire land in Princeton for both the original facility and future expansion.Leitch (1995).[https://www.princeton.edu/mudd/finding_aids/mathoral/pm06.htm Documents located at Princeton University in the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library: The Princeton Mathematics Community in the 1930s] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170107121241/http://www.princeton.edu/mudd/finding_aids/mathoral/pm06.htm |date=January 7, 2017 }}, "Veblen was instrumental both in envisioning the Institute before the circumstances led to its creation as well as ... the initial selection of members for the Institute."

Flexner and Veblen set out to recruit the best mathematicians and physicists they could find. The rise of fascism and the associated anti-semitism forced many prominent mathematicians to flee Europe and some, such as Einstein and Hermann Weyl (whose wife was Jewish), found a home at the new institute.Villani p. 63. "After several years of patient negotiation the Bambergers succeeded in luring away the very best, one after another. Einstein came in 1933. Then Godel. Weyl. Von Neumann. And many more ... As the political climate in Europe became increasingly unbearable for Jewish scientists and their friends, the world's scientific center of gravity shifted from Germany to the United States." Weyl as a condition of accepting insisted that the institute also appoint the thirty-year-old Austrian-Hungarian polymath John von Neumann. Indeed, the IAS became the key lifeline for scholars fleeing Europe.Arntzenius, p. 8. Einstein was Flexner's first coup and shortly after that he was followed by Veblen's brilliant student James Alexander and the wunderkind of logic Kurt Gödel.Nasar, p. 54.Grattan-Guinness, p. 1518-19. Flexner was fortunate in the luminaries he directly recruited but also in the people that they brought along with them.Nasar, p. 53. Thus, by 1934 the fledgeling institute was led by six of the most prominent mathematicians in the world. In 1935 quantum physics pioneer Wolfgang Pauli became a faculty member.Batterson. With the opening of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton replaced Göttingen as the leading center for mathematics in the twentieth century.[https://sinews.siam.org/DetailsPage/tabid/607/ArticleID/414/Untangling-the-Threads-of-a-Heroic-and-Complicated-Life.aspx Review] of "Alan Turing: The Enigma" By James Case, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, March 2, 2015.

For the six years from its opening in 1933, until Fuld Hall was finished and opened in 1939, the institute was housed within Princeton University—in Fine Hall, which housed Princeton's mathematics department.Axtell, p. 95. Princeton University's science departments are less than two miles away and informal ties and collaboration between the two institutions occurred from the beginning.Leitch (1978). This helped start an incorrect impression that it was part of the university, one that has never been completely eradicated.Regis, p. 26.

On June 4, 1930, the Bambergers wrote as follows to the institute's trustees:Pais p. 64.

{{blockquote|text=It is fundamental in our purpose, and our express desire, that in the appointments to the staff and faculty, as well as in the admission of workers and students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly, of race, religion, or sex. We feel strongly that the spirit characteristic of America at its noblest, above all the pursuit of higher learning, cannot admit of any conditions as to personnel other than those designed to promote the objects for which this institution is established, and particularly with no regard whatever to accidents of race, creed, or sex.}}

Bamberger's policy did not prevent racial discrimination by Princeton. When African-American mathematician William S. Claytor applied to the IAS in 1937, Princeton University said they "would not permit any colored person to go to the Institute for Advanced Study." It was not until 1939, when the institute had moved into its own building, that Veblen was able to offer Claytor a position; but this time Claytor turned it down on principle.[http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Claytor.html William Waldron Schieffelin Claytor] at the MacTutor History of Mathematics archive

Flexner had successfully assembled a faculty of unrivaled prestigeBonner, From the first, an invitation to come to the institute was viewed as a mark of prestige. p. 256 in the School of Mathematics which officially opened in 1933. He sought to equal this success in the founding of schools of economics and humanities but this proved to be more difficult. The School of Humanistic Studies and the School of Economics and Politics were established in 1935. All three schools along with the office of the director moved into the newly built Fuld Hall in 1939.Institute for Advanced Study (1940), p. 3 (Ultimately the schools of Humanistic Studies and Economics and Politics were merged into the present day School of Historical Studies established in 1949.)Institute for Advanced Study (2010), p. 2 In the beginning, the School of Mathematics included physicists as well as mathematicians. A separate School of Natural Sciences was not established until 1966.Institute for Advanced Study (2013): IAS Bluebook, p. 16Batterson p. 142. The School of Social Science was founded in 1973.Institute for Advanced Study (2014), p. 42

In a 1939 essay Flexner emphasized how James Clerk Maxwell, driven only by a desire to know, did abstruse calculations in the field of magnetism and electricity and that these investigations led in a direct line to the entire electrical development of modern times. Citing Maxwell and other theoretical scientists such as Carl Friedrich Gauss, Michael Faraday, Paul Ehrlich and Einstein, Flexner said, "Throughout the whole history of science most of the really great discoveries which have ultimately proved to be beneficial to mankind have been made by men and women who were driven not by the desire to be useful but merely the desire to satisfy their curiosity."Flexner (1939).

The IAS Bluebook says:{{Full citation needed|date=November 2020}}

{{blockquote|text=The Institute for Advanced Study is one of the few institutions in the world where the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake is the ultimate raison d'être. Speculative research, the kind that is fundamental to the advancement of human understanding of the world of nature and of humanity, is not a product that can be made to order. Rather, like artistic creativity, it benefits from a special environment.}}

This was the belief to which Flexner clung passionately, and which continues to inspire the institute today.

Pioneering work on the theory of the stored-program computer as laid down by Alan Turing was done at the IAS by John von Neumann, and the IAS machine built in the basement of the Fuld Hall from 1942 to 1951 under von Neumann's direction introduced the basic architecture of most modern digital computers.Edwards.Dyson, pp. 82–86, 274.{{Cite web|url=https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_334741|title=IAS Computer|website=National Museum of American History}} The IAS is the leading center of research in string theory and its generalization M-theory introduced by Edward Witten at the IAS in 1995.[https://www.quantamagazine.org/20150218-string-theory-only-game-in-town/ In Fake Universes, Evidence for String Theory] by Natalie Wolchover, Quanta Magazine, February 18, 2015 The Langlands program, a far-reaching approach which unites parts of geometry, mathematical analysis, and number theory was introduced by Robert Langlands, the mathematician who now occupies Albert Einstein's old office at the institute.Institute for Advanced Study (2010)Frenkel, p. 4.

Flexner's vision of the kind of results that can emerge in an institution devoted to the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake is illustrated by the "Special Year" programs sponsored by the IAS School of Mathematics.{{Cite web|url=https://www.math.ias.edu/taxonomy/term/8|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081222053035/http://www.math.ias.edu/taxonomy/term/8|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 22, 2008|title=Institute for Advanced Study: Special Year Programs}} For example, in 2012–13 researchers at the IAS school of mathematics held A Special Year on Univalent Foundations of Mathematics.{{cite web|url=https://www.math.ias.edu/sp/univalent|title=Univalent Foundations of Mathematics|date=October 21, 2010|access-date=July 19, 2015}} Intuitionistic type theory was created by the Swedish logician Per Martin-Löf in 1972 to serve as an alternative to set theory as a foundation for mathematics. The special year brought together researchers in topology, computer science, category theory, and mathematical logic with the goal of formalizing and extending this theory of foundations. The program was organized by Steve Awodey, Thierry Coquand and Vladimir Voevodsky, and resulted in a book being published in homotopy type theory.{{Cite web|url=http://hottheory.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/hott-online-611-ga1a258c.pdf|title=Homotopy Type Theory: Univalent Foundations of Mathematics}} The authors—more than 30 researchers ultimately contributed to the project—noted the essential contribution of the IAS saying,

Richard Feynman argued that the IAS does not offer real activity or challenge:

{{quote|text=When I was at Princeton in the 1940s I could see what happened to those great minds at the Institute for Advanced Study, who had been specially selected for their tremendous brains and were now given this opportunity to sit in this lovely house by the woods there, with no classes to teach, with no obligations whatsoever. These poor bastards could now sit and think clearly all by themselves, OK? So they don't get any ideas for a while: They have every opportunity to do something, and they're not getting any ideas. I believe that in a situation like this a kind of guilt or depression worms inside of you, and you begin to worry about not getting any ideas. And nothing happens. Still no ideas come.

Nothing happens because there's not enough real activity and challenge: You're not in contact with the experimental guys. You don't have to think how to answer questions from the students. Nothing!|author=Richard FeynmanRichard Feynman, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!, 1985, [https://books.google.com/books?id=7papZR4oVssC&pg=PA165 p. 165]}}

The IAS in Princeton is widely recognized as the world's first Institute for Advanced Study. Despite later imitators of the institute's model, it took years before any similar institutions were founded. The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford was the first such spinoff in 1954. This was followed by the National Humanities Center founded in North Carolina in 1978.Reisz. "The Princeton IAS proved a hard act to follow. It was not until 1954 that a similar institute was founded." These two institutions eventually became the core of a consortium known as Some Institutes for Advanced Study (SIAS). The SIAS consortium includes the original institute in Princeton and nine other institutes founded explicitly to emulate the model of the original IAS. These ten Institutes for Advanced Study are:[http://www.huji.ac.il/cgi-bin/dovrut/dovrut_search_eng.pl?mesge118450249532688760%7CMedia Hebrew U.

{{main|List of faculty members at the Institute for Advanced Study}}

At any given time, the IAS has a faculty consisting of twenty-eight eminent academics who are appointed for life. Although the faculty do not teach classes (because there are none), they often do give lectures at their own initiative and have the title Professor along with the prestige associated with that title. Furthermore, they direct research and serve as the nucleus of a larger and generally younger group of scholars, whom they have the power to select and invite.{{cite web|url=http://www.ias.edu/people/cos/|title=A Community of Scholars|access-date=July 19, 2015}} Each year fellowships are awarded to about 190 visiting members from over 100 universities and research institutions who come to the institute for periods from one term to a few years. Individuals must apply to become members of the institute, and each of the schools has its own application procedures and deadlines.Institute for Advanced Study (2015): Mission and History
