SIR FRANCIS BACON, MAN OF MANY FACETS. Odessa Mai Is
LEFT GREAT LEGACY TO THE 20TH CENTURY SaedOi Labor :
Charge Ry N. S.
(By ASSOCIATED PRESS)
As a renaissance man of many
facets, Sir Franris 'Bacon prob-
ably left a greater legacy to 20th
century man than any other indi-
vidual of learning of his time, with
the possible exception of his fellow
countryman. William Shakespeare,
A law.voi. siaiestnan. philosop-
her. essayist, literary stylist and
brilliant thinker Hacon performed
spectacularly in hi* role o'i inspir-
ing his contemporaries and their
successors to completely disregard
unsubstantiated medieval beliefs.
Although not a scientist., he was
a founding father of modern scien-
ce. a point upon which ureal em-
phasis is bein< placed as England
observes the 4O0th anniversary of
his birth.
Bacon implored others to begin
a LburouiUi sUulv of nature and ac-
cept nothing that could not be prov.
ed by test.
Paradoxically, however. Bacon
was considerably of a success
in manairint! Iiis own persoal life.
Kngland was on the brink of
greatness when Bacon was horn

period of progress in science, liter-
ature, discovery, and exploration.
Bacon's father was the Queen's
Lord keeper of the great seal. His
first cousin. Sir Robert Cecil, do-
minated the Ilous£ of Commons.
His uncle. Lord Biirghley. prevail-
ed similarly over the house of
Lords.
Yet, early Elizabethans knew lit-
tle, and cared less, about the
world in which they lived. The la-
dical notion that the earth revolves
around the sun received short
shrift from even the higher intel-
lectuals.
Bacon was sent to Cambridge
University at the age c", 12. In his
early 2C's he was admitted to the
bar and elected to parliament.
Intrigue and scandal accompan-
ied the ambitious young man in his
devious climb to power. For a time
he advised the queen's favorite
Lord Essex. Later, Bacon was to
prosecute Essex, in the reign of
King James the first. Bacon held
the exalted position of Lord Chan-
cellor. only to confess his guilt to
charges oi bribery and corruption.
At this point. Bacon's career
tumbled about his ears. He spent
a time iq the tower of London, was
fined 40.000 pounds, was barred
oom subsequent public service.
While it was hardly the occasion
for philosophizing. Sir Francis
Bacon did just that for the rest of
his life.
Bacon steadfastly refused to sell
any of his personal art treasures
to satisfy his legion of creditors.
"I will not bP stripped Oi my fea-
thers." Bacon declared.
At the time of his death in 1626,
Bacon still owed 22.000 pounds.
His demise resulted from a chill
acquired wnile collecting snow to
determine 'he effects of refriger-
ation on meat. Although he had ac-
quired high honors titles, and
wealth for himself, he must also
be credited with having left much
for future generations.

These problems touch people of all ages, races,

DENTON' <Spl> — Six buildings,
product oV the largest construction
program in the school's history,
will be dedicated and displayed
to the public at North Texas State
College Sunday.
The new structures have been
completed in the last 28 months.
They are valued at S6.5 million in-
cluding furnishings and equip-
ment. Additions to existing struc-
tures made during the same period
add another million dollars to that
figure.
The North Texas Day program
will begin in the Main Auditorium
at 3 p. m. Rev. Philin Walker, su-
perintendent of the Sherman dis-
trict of the Methodist Church, will
make the dedicatory address.
Rev. L. L. Armstrong, minister
of Denton's First Baptist Church,
is to give the invocation. Miss Mar-
garet Kalil. NTSC resident sopra-
no. will sing, accompanied by or-
ganist Dale Peters and the Chapel

tion. Education-Home Economics,

The first North Texas Dav was
held March 31 194!) at which time
the Student Union Building was de-
dicated.
That date was the 50th anniver-
sary of tbe 1890 legislative act
•rr*
extending state support and chang-
ing the name of North Texas Nor-
mal to North Texas State Normal !
College. The 1949 newspapers which
carried stories ot the first North
Texas Day also published accounts
from Austin of another pending
name change — dropping the word
"Teachers" from what was then
known as North Texas State Tea-
chers College. ,
By coincidence another title
change is pending in the State Le-
gislature as this North Texas Day
approaches. Nine members oY the
House of Representatives have
introduced a bill to name the school
"The University of North Texas."
North Texas Day is usually ob-
served on March 31. but since this
falls during the Easter vacation
this year, the preceding Sundry
was selected for the ceremonies.
