Tracks:

His name was spelled Alferd, not Alfred. The cafeteria at CU Boulder wad almost named after him. But in the end, no!

About twenty years ago the student body started a campaign to have the cafeteria named after Alferd Packer. The faculty/administration was thrilled that the students were so involved in their campus and Colorado history. So they initially backed the proposal, until finally someone took the time to see who he was. That ended the episode.

Although I think students afectionately call it that.
