Schweitzer was the son of a Lutheran pastor. He first became an accomplished organ pianist, and earned earned doctorates in philosophy and theology. Before becoming a physician, he was pastor of St. Nicholai's Church, principal of St. Thomas College, and professor at University of Strasbourg. He only became a physician upon reading a call for medical assistance in missions.
Albert Schweitzer won the [[Nobel Peace Prize ]] (1952) for his efforts, and built a leper colony with the award money.
