	Institute for Advanced Study - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Institute for Advanced Study is a private institution in Princeton Township, New Jersey, U.S.A. (although it is not part of Princeton University), designed to foster pure cutting-edge research by scientists in a variety of fields without the complications of teaching or funding, or the agendas of sponsorship.
		The founding of the institute was fraught with brushes against near-disaster; the Bamberger siblings pulled their money out of the stock market just before the Stock Market Crash of 1929, and their original intent was to express their gratitude to the state of New Jersey through the founding of a dental school.
		There are other, older institutions such as All Souls College, Oxford in the United Kingdom and the Collège de France in Paris, France which may be said to be part of the inspiration for the Princeton Institute, but these do not belong to the SIAS consortium.

	Encyclopedia: Institute for Advanced Study
		Institute for Advanced Study, The, although organically and administratively separate from Princeton University, has had, since its founding in 1930, close academic and intellectual relations with the University.
		The Institute's primary purpose has been ``the pursuit of advanced learning and exploration in fields of pure science and high scholarship.'' It awards no degrees and usually admits to membership scholars who have already taken their highest degree.
		While the Institute maintains residential and other facilities necessary for academic life and provides the opportunities for continuing intellectual interaction within its own community of scholars, it also gains from a symbiotic relationship with the University, with its wider range of disciplines and larger faculty.
