About the Millsap Professorships
The Millsap professorships are supported by the Marvin and Rose Millsap Trust. Marvin Millsap served as superintendent of Hallsville schools in 1925-26 while he attended University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg. After graduating in 1927, he attended Mizzou and received a master of arts in education in 1928. Millsap was a Jefferson Club member since 1986 and was awarded an honorary doctorate of letters from Mizzou in 1987. The endowment was created from a trust upon Rose’s death in 1979. Marvin died in 1994 at age 91.
