As director, Ferris was responsible for the maintenance of environmental health and safety services and for dispensing technical advice to all Harvard students, staff and faculty members.
Ferris spent his entire professional life at Harvard. He earned his bachelor's degree at the College, received his M.D. from the Medical School and completed his residency at the Harvard-affiliated Children's Hospital.
He joined the School of Public Health as a research fellow in physiology in 1948, was made an associate professor in 1958 and earned tenure in 1971. Ferris served as professor of environmental health and safety until his retirement in 1989.
Ferris also served as director of environmental health and safety for 32 years, from 1957 until his retirement.
Associates said that Ferris separated the department from University Health Services and led its extraordinary--if uneven--growth over the succeeding decades.
