Historical NoteReturn to Top
Walter H. Gardner was born in Logan, Utah in 1910. After Gardner completed his high school education in Logan, he went on to attend Utah State Agricultural College (now Utah State University) receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in 1939. He served in World War II as a member of the Army Air Force Corporation. After the war he returned to Utah and continued his studies. Gardner received his Masters Degree in 1948 and a Ph.D. in physics in 1950. He taught at a number of institutions in the West. He was president of the Soil Science Society of American and he was widely known for his research and writing in soil physics and soil-water-plant relations. His last position was as professor emeritus at Washington State University where he was president of the Pacific division of the American Association of the Advancement of Science. Gardner retired in the 1980s and returned to Logan.
