Frank Cole Spencer was born in a country farmhouse in west Texas in 1925. The Spencer family's work ethic, instilled in Dr. Spencer at a young age, enabled him to excel in his studies when enrolled as a chemistry major at the University of North Texas at the age of 15. According to Dr. Spencer, "My good fortune evolved from very modest circumstances in the farming country of Western Texas. It resulted from the combination of access to good education, good teachers, and a lot of hard work."UNT, College of Science, Science, University of North Texashttps://omni-templates.unt.edu/_resources/images/welcome-center-campus.jpghttps://omni-templates.unt.edu/_resources/images/welcome-center-campus.jpgGiving BannerFrank C.
