Education
Werner entered Technische Hochschule, a German technical university, in 1908 with the intention of becoming an engineer. A year later, in 1909, Werner realized that this was not desire, and transferred to the University of Vienna with a new plan to become a composer and music historian. While at The University, Werner was exposed to a variety of new materials, and found that he was increasingly interested in philosophy and psychology. From 1912-1913, Werner published multiple articles, including "A Genetic Table of Conceptual Forms", his first article. His dissertation was "The Psychology of Esthetic Enjoyment", for which he was awarded a Ph.D. and graduated summa cum laude in 1914.
