Edmunds, Francis

L. Francis Edmunds began his studies as a medical student, but the driving force in his life was a quest for insight into the nature of the human being. This journey led him to anthroposophy and his vocation as a teacher. In 1962 he founded Emerson College, an adult educational establishment based on Rudolf Steiner s work. He traveled and lectured extensively around the world, and authored the perennially popular "Introduction to Steiner Education." Francis Edmunds died in 1989.
