He was a mathematician and topologist of the pre-World War II era and was one of the first members of the Institute for Advanced Study (1933?1951).He was also a professor at Princeton University (1920?1951).
Alexander was also a noted mountaineer, having succeeded in many major ascents, e.g. in the Swiss Alps and Colorado Rockies. The Alexander's Chimney, in the Rocky Mountain National Park, is named after him. When in Princeton, he liked to climb the university buildings, and always left his office window on the top floor of Fine Hall open so that he could enter by climbing the building.
