Halvor Orin Halvorson (March 26, 1897 – October 20, 1975)

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign beginning in 1949, and first director of the School of Life Sciences there beginning in 1959. He retired from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1965, whereupon he returned to the University of Minnesota faculty. He served as president of the Society of American Bacteriologists (now known as the American Society for Microbiology) in 1955.[3] He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1957.[4] His son, Harlyn O.

This made the Halvorsons one of two father-son pairs to both serve as presidents of the Society.[5]
