- Biographical or historical data
- Professor Luther Marion Defoe came to the University of Missouri in 1881 as a student. After graduating, he remained with the University until his death in 1933; except for a few brief periods, including study at Harvard ca. 1893 and Cambridge in 1903. He served as a professor of Mathematics and of Engineering (Mechanics). At the commencement ceremony of 1904, the University officially installed Defoe as its official Tutor, in recognition of the helpful role Defoe had already been playing in the lives of students for years. In fact, the popular professor eventually came to be known as "Daddy" Defoe. He also became an unofficial "dean of men" during his disciplinary committee chairmanship from 1907 to 1925. Defoe retired in 1932 as professor emeritus.
