Professor Nobel Prize With the publication of his Theory of Value in 1959, the road was paved for Professor Gerard Debreu ' s future achievements and accompanying recognition in the field of economics. As a blueprint for furthe r development of economic theory, Debreu ' s Theory of Value outlined the concepts of classical equillibrium in economics. Having recently received the 1983 Nobel Prize in economic science, Debreu goes down in Cal history as one of the fifteen faculty members who have ed this high honor. Debreu becomes the first faculty member, however, to win the Prize in economics. Born in France, the 62 year-old Debreu studied in the United States as a Rockefeller Fellow from 1948 to 1950, and a research associate at the University of Chicago from 1950 to 1955. Debreu received his doctorate at the Universite de Paris in 1956. In his own country, his outstanding achievements won him great recognition when, in 1976, he received the Chevalier de la Legion d ' Houneur. Prior to his becoming a member of the Berkeley faculty in 1962, Debreu was a fellow of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, and a visiting professor of economics at Yale. In addition to his scholarly contributions, Debreu served as associate editor of the International Economic Review. Although he has been heralded as a great scholar and novator within his discipline, Debreu is much more than a Nobel Prize Winner. Among students, colleagues and ministrators alike, he is not merely known as an intelligent man of great accomplishment; he also has a reputation for being a warm and enthusiastic instructor and co-worker. It is with great respect and admiration that Cal applauds the success of its newest Nobel Laureate. Faculty 27

Eight Awarded Guggenheims Over the past two decads, U.C. Berkeley has demonstrated a wide cumulative lead in Guggenheim Fellowships. In 1983, the record still attested to the fact that Cal continues to excel in research and study. In the 59th year of competition, the John Simon Guggenheim Founda- tion granted this highly south-after award to eight Berkeley faculty and scholars. Selected from 3,571 applicants, these eight professors deserve hearty congratulations as red- pients of this prestigious fellowship. As students we may look forward to gaining from these instructors the merits and progress which 1983-84 ' s pursuit of independent study and work has brought them. Pictured are six of the eight faculty members who received the award. The winners and their respective fields of research are: Walter Alvarez, Geology — Impacts and mass extinctions; Robert Ballah, Sociology — Religion and society in America 1880-1980; Robert Glaeser, Biophysics — The molecular mechanism of proton transport across cell membranes; Winfried Kudszus, German — Franz Kafka ' s late stories; Barbara Metcalf, South and Southeast Asia Studies — The pilgrimage to Mecca as recorded by South Asians; Charles Murgia, Classics -- The fifth volume of the Harvard edition of Ser- vian commentaries on Virgil. Not pictured are Susanna Bar- rows, History — Drink and cafe life in 19th century France; and David Miller English and Comparative Literature — The novel and the polite. Both Miller and Barrows are pursuing their studies in France for the academic year 1983-84. 28 Faculty 111=111milla =mat Barbara Metcalf
