"T)AVID ROWLAND FRANCIS, President of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition • Company, and ex-officio Chairman of the Executive Committee of the corporation which constructed the World's Fair, now being held in St. Louis, was born at Rich- mond, Madison County, Kentucky, October 1st, 1850. His father, John B. Francis, was a descendant of a prominent Virginia family and a polished gentleman of the old Southern type. The founders of the family in Kentucky were pioneer settlers, and the grand- father of David R. was a soldier in the war of 1812. His mother, Eliza Caldwell Row- land, was a descendant of David Irvine, of Lynchburg, Virginia, whose ten daughters <^-(\ were among the most distinguished of the pioneer women of Kentucky, and left their v"' impress upon the history and social characteristics of the State The Irvine's were of honorable Scotch lineage, and its representatives were among the earliest colonists of Virginia. David R. Francis inherited the physical and mental qualities of his sturdy ances- try. His primary education was received at Richmond Academy, in his native town Removing to St. Louis in 1866, he entered Washington University and was graduated in the class of 1870. He immediately entered commercial life, and for the next five years was employed as shipping clerk and in other capacities by a wholesale grocery house. In 1877 he engaged in the grain business on his own account, and seven years later founded •""""',:~~~~~ the well known D. R. Fran- cis & Bro. Commission Co and entered in theexporta- tion of grain, which has largely engaged his at- tention since that time. Though one of the youngest members of the Merchants' Exchange, . Mr. Francis obtained prompt and decided K recognition for busi- ness sagacity, success ly in operations and prudent foresight, and was made Vice- President of that body in 1883, and in 1884 was elected President. He is identified with many of the most important business institutions of the City, and is at the present time a di- rector of the Miss- issippi Valley Trust Company and Vice- President of the Merchants'-Laclede National Bank. He is a large stock- holder in the St. Louis & Colorado Railway Company, and greatly inter- ested in the con- struction of that line into the Southwest, He is also' closely identified with the organized charities of the city. In 1885 Mr. WM Francis was the Democratic candi- V date for Mayor of the City of St. Louis, and in spite of an adverse majority of 14,000 votes at the last preceding elec- tion, he was elected by 1,200 majority. His administration was a purely business one, and judging from re- suits was eminently successful. He was the progenitor of the "New St. Louis" of to-day. In 1888 he was nomi- nated by the Democratic party and elected Governor of the State of Missouri. His administration was so com pletely successful that it is yet pointed to as a model. It was clean, broad, economical, without par- simony, patriotic and progressive He gave much thought to, and in a most efficient manner promoted, the cause of public education, particularly aiding the State Univer- sity and elevating its standard and exalting its reputation to its present renown. Retiring from office at the close of his gubernatorial term, Governor Francis re- sumed his business affairs with his former enterprise and success. In 1896 he was called by President Cleveland to his Cabinet as Secretary of the Interior, and immedi- ately brought into this larger public service the energy and thoughtfulness he dis- played in lesser public stations and in his private business. In the course of an exceedingly busy life he has found time to solve the problems of government and also educate himself in art, literature and science, and few men of his age are possessed of as many and varied accomplishments. He is an attractive pub- lic speaker, is entirely democratic in his tastes and has a natural and charming per- sonality. When the World's Fair enterprise came to be considered, by common consent and absolute unanimity Governor Francis was called on to head the gigantic enterprise. He accepted the commission and entered upon the work with a zeal and determination that were infectious and gave inspiration to his lieutenants. He devotes, entirely with- out compensation, nearly all his time to the World's Fair work, and has organized it so thoroughly and systematically that its success is already assured.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.
