Allen Percival Green son of Joseph H. and Eliza McHenry Green, was born in Jefferson City and died in June 1957, at the age of 80. He was a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy at Rolla and in 1910 founded the A. P. Green Fire Brick Company in Mexico, Missouri. A religious man and member of the Presbyterian Church, he was deeply interested in education, in the University of Missouri and in the welfare of people everywhere.

Sarah Josephine Brown was married to Allen Percival Green on June 17, 1903. The rearing of their five children and countless kind things done for others occupied most of her time. She died, after her husband's death, in March 1957. The Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation, the donor of the A. P. Green Chapel, was established many years before the death of Allen P. Green in 1956

The A. P. Green Chapel Dedicated Sunday, October 14, 1959

The A. P. Green Chapel has been constructed so that it will function as an integral part of the Memorial Student Union at the University of Missouri. Its decoration, size, and appointments are all conceived as those most appropriate to the purpose which, in accordance with the desires of the donors and the general practice on the campuses of state universities, may be stated as follows:
1. For meditation and prayer by individuals.
2. For programs during Religion-in-Life Week.
3. For devotional services of a special and occasional nature by any group with University affiliations, with the understanding that such services by any one group may not be regularly recurring.
4. For memorial services, funerals, or weddings of persons with University affiliations.
It is presently planned to keep the Chapel open for use every day from seven o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening.
The A. P. Green Chapel was designed by O. W. Stiegemeyer, architect, of St. Louis and built by the B. D. Simon Construction Company of Columbia.
