The John B. Ferguson Memorial Fund

John B. Ferguson (1948-2007) was a Lecturer in the SDSU Department of Physics between 1975-1978 and 1981-2007.

Gordon Shackelford wrote an Obituary, and Doc Morris and Don Cottrell have added some recollections.

In John's memory, the Department has established the John B. Ferguson Fund. The objective of the fund is provide grants to upper division Physics majors to pay for their textbooks. The high cost of textbooks always was a concern to John. Wherever practical, he wrote texts and laboratory manuals that were printed by the Book Store saving students substantially. The John B. Ferguson Fund will provide a lasting memory of John while helping students.
