Dr. Jensen joined the faculty of the university’s Department of Economics in 1963 and served there until his retirement in 1990. A specialist in the history of economic thought, Jensen established an international reputation in that field, publishing widely in professional journals and participating at meetings of learned societies around the world. In 1983 he received the John B. Ross Outstanding Teacher Award of the College of Business, and in 1966 he was named the college’s Faculty Scholar. His contributions to the intellectual life of the university have been recognized by placement of a plaque in his honor on a faculty study.
