University chancellors
The naming structure for the head of the university has changed, reflecting its changes through the years. It is currently headed by a chancellor who in turn reports to the University of Missouri system.[6]
The chancellor lives on campus at the Chancellor Residence (constructed in 1889 as the “Club House” dormitory, converted to a room house, before becoming the Missouri State Geological Survey headquarters before finally becoming the Chancellor Residence in 1905).[7]
