Richard Feringer's Notes
on Rosenstock-Huessy
Richard Feringer, an engineer and now a retired professor of education
(with an emphasis on community development), began writing notes on various
works by Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy as a means of forcing himself to clarify
his understanding of what he was reading. He first learned about Rosenstock-Huessy
when he was studying for his D.Ed. at UCLA, following a career that had
begun in 1946 in maritime engineering as a designer, consultant, and instrument
maker.
Feringer was hired by Western Washington University (Bellingham) in
1963, principally to found a department of continuing studies, whose purpose
was to apply university resources to community problems. He shifted from
that administrative role to full-time teaching in 1973, and founded a
graduate program preparing students to work in community development.
He continued in that post until 1991, when he became Professor Emeritus
at WWU.
