of us. I still got an A in his class because he graded on a curve. I remember his line, "The highest F is an A." I'd guess I averaged about 60% on his killer multiple-choice-question exams. Yet, a lot of his teaching stuck with me and made more sense as I went on in my studies. It was interesting to read this
Knowledge article, which really captured his essence. I didn't know, however, that he was a civil rights activist. He always stuck me as so into his theorizing that any applied, real world activity would bias his objectivity. His quiet activism in retrospect seems consistent with his humble brilliance. He used two books that looked to be self-published to teach what I recollect he called "dynamic systemic symbolic interactionism." The were pretty simple in layout, but not content, and were published by some obscure company. They looked almost like somebody's bound dissertation. One was a text and the other a workbook of sorts. He called them the "yellow menace" and the "red terror." It was in his class that I started to really learn to think critically, logically, and methodologically -- even if I wasn't yet intellectually prepared for everything he was dishing out. Engelmann had a big influence on me, although it took me awhile to realize it.

The point was that these people cared about refugees without regard to their religion, saw a young man in need, and helped him. The implication here is that he did not consider himself Jewish but was deeply touched by the help he received. As a result he always thought favorably of Jews. However, he identified himself as a
Catholic. The kindness of Jewish agencies was matched by the Wesleyan Foundation in America. It was unconcerned about whether he was Catholic, Methodist, or Jewish. He himself saw "religious sentiment less as the base, than as the outgrowth and the accompaniment of common human decency." He confirmed his Christian identity by having his son baptized as quickly as possible.

The matter of
Engelmann's Jewishness or non-Jewishness is complex. On the one hand he was baptized and was able to escape from Austria because he had a baptismal certificate. On the other hand, he was greatly aided in his escape by Jewish refugee committees. He greatly admired the humanity of the

How nice that you remember so much about the influence of
Engelmann's classes and his Systemic Dynamic Social Theory. Am not sure if Wm C. Brown Book Company is a self-publisher. I see a lot of that company these days in text books. You are absolutely right about the "yellow menace" and the "red

Engelmann as a professor when I was an undegrad at Northern Illinois University (NIU) in 1978. When I took him as a not-too-serious-student sophomore, most of what he said went over my head and other students as well. His extensive historical references were beyond the knowledge base of most
