He dropped out of school at 14 years of age and went to work as a secretary and copy boy at the New York Sun, hoping to become a journalist. After a year, he took night classes at Columbia University to improve his writing. It was there that he became interested, after reading the autobiography of the great English philosopher John Stuart Mill, in the great philosophers and thinkers of Western civilization. Adler was driven to continue his reading after learning that Mill had read Plato when he was only five years old, while he had not read him at all. A book by Plato was lent to him by a neighbor and Adler became hooked. He then decided to study philosophy at Columbia, where he received a scholarship.

Mortimer (Tim) Louis Anson: Together with Alfred Mirsky, Anson was the first to propose that conformational protein folding was a reversible process. He later proposed that it was essentially a two-state process, i.e., that the folded and unfolded states were well-defined thermodynamic states separated by a large activation energy barrier. He also was the first to note that the energy barrier typical of folding (5 kcal/mol) was small compared to the absolute magnitudes of the energies and entropies involved (~100 kcal/mol) and, hence, proposed that energy and entropy were continuously traded off during the folding process.
