When Bacon first went up to Cambridge, Trinity was presided over by that wonderful man, that intellectual giant, that acme, epitome, and highest consununation of academic life, William Whewell. A freshman at Trinity has little enough to do with the august tenant of the 92 Digitized by CjOOQ IC Alma Mater Master's Lodge — ^yet Whewell's mighty presence made itself felt even to the meanest servant of the College. Bacon saw the massive form — lately bowed by grief for the loss of his second wife, ...slowly pace the great court. He saw the noble head above the Master's stall in chapel ; and he felt, as did the whole world, how grandly Whewell sustained the traditions of the stately coU^e; how fittingly he stood as figurehead of the proud establish- ment ; how much he owed to Trinity, and how much Trinity owed to him. Whewell preached his last sermon in Trinity chapel on Quinquagesima Simday of Bacon's first Lent term. Prophetically enough, he drew his text from Revelations and spoke of the end of the world.
