George Lefevre

George Lefevre came to the University of Missouri in 1899, and went on to serve as Chairman of the Department of Zoology until his death in 1923. During his time spent at the University, Lefevre served on many important committees, including those involving budget, educational policy and public exercises. Lefevre was actively involved with the design and construction of the Biology Building. Built in 1913, the building was renamed Lefevre Hall to honor him shortly after his death.
