The article presents information about W. Meredith Bacon, a popular professor at University of Nebraska, Omaha, Nebraska, who returned from summer vacation as a woman. On the first day of classes this fall, W. Meredith Bacon walked carefully down the aisle of a large lecture hall at the University of Nebraska here, carrying copies of the course syllabus in her tan briefcase. It was a walk she had made many times before, but this time she was nervous. Over his 29 years in the political-science department, Bacon had become one of the most popular professors among undergraduates on the campus.
