Jensen, a native of Huntsville and presently a resident of Los Angeles has donated $50,000 to Weber State to be used in the development of a center for environmental students. Mr. Jensen presented the gift to the college during a visit to the campus during July of this year. Mr. Jensen and his charming wife, Doria, were taken on a tour of the Ogden campus by Dr. Dello Dayton, Dean of the School of Arts, Letters and Science, Dr. David S. Havertz, Director of the new Environmental Studies Program, Mr. Dean Hurst, Director of College Relations and other members of the staff and faculty. Mr. Jensen attended Weber when it was known as the Weber Academy, and was the Senior class president in 1915. He returned to the campus in the company of a long time friend, Mr. Russell Croft of Ogden, who had been a classmate of Mr. Jensen’s and a former faculty member at Weber. After leaving Weber, Mr. Jensen attended the Utah State Agricultural College in Logan for a short time before enlisting in the Marine Corps, where he served for over 2 years. After being discharged from the service he went to work for the Amalgamated Sugar Co. in Utah, and Idaho; from there to the Wyoming Sugar Co., in Worland, Wyoming. He left Wyoming in 1923 for California where he was employed by the Bank of Italy, predecessor of the present Bank of America. While there, he was offered a managerial position with Miller and Lux, Inc., who were engaged in extensive agricultural operations in Fresno, Madera, and Merced Counties of the San Joaquin Valley. In the fall of 1929 he was offered a position to his liking with Anderson Clayton and Company which was engaged extensively in the Cotton Industry in California, Arizona, and Baja California, Mexico, operating cotton gins, vegetables oil mills, raw cotton merchandising and the financing of agricultural producers. In this position he became head of its banking department. He remained here for 30 years, until his retirement . . . and believes inat in this position he was able to provide some constructive assistance to the enormous healthy growth during those years of field crop agriculture in the areas above mentioned. .
