Description
Introduction Historically speaking, connections between useful knowledge and red brick institutions were advocated by Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) as early as 1620 in his Novum organon. The text and the title were originally written in the language of the learned at the time. In the English translation, the Cambridge University graduate, jurist, and member of the court of Elizabeth I wrote: "The true and legitimate goal of the sciences is to endow human life with new discoveries and resources.... Just let man recover the right over nature which belongs to him by God's gift, and give it scope; right reason and sound religion will govern its use." (1) According to Bacon's The New Method, useful knowledge is the link between science and religion.
