Economist Jeremiah Whipple Jenks (1856-1929) was an American economist, educator, and Professor at Cornell University, who held various posts in the US government throughout his career. He served as a member of the Dillingham Immigration Commission from 1907 to 1914 in which he led research projects on the state of immigration to the United States. He authored several influential books, including The Immigration Problem: A Study of Immigration Conditions and Need, and The Dictionary of Races. He was among the first social science academics within government and one of the first to propose that the federal government has the power to restrict immigration.
