April 20, 2006 Dedication Held for Jesse L. Jones Clock Tower A special groundbreaking ceremony was held at 3 p.m. on Thursday, April 20, at Murray State University in the science complex area at Murray State University for the Jesse L. Jones Clock Tower. Murray State University students who major in science or math will benefit from a significant gift given by Jesse D. Jones, a Marshall County native and a 1964 MSU chemistry and mathematics major, and his wife, Deborah. Residents of Baton Rouge, La., the couple recently established the Jesse D. and Deborah C. Jones Scholarship for the Advancement of Math and the Sciences for MSU students majoring in math or science. In addition to the scholarship, they also chose to assist with the completion of the clock tower connecting Phase II of the science complex to the Biology Building, located just off of 16th Street behind Alexander Hall. The tower was named for Jesse D. Jones’ father, Jesse L. Jones. Community members, as well as MSU students, faculty and staff, were invited to this special event to honor Jones and his family.
