DEDICATION Dedication of the La Cumbre is the highest honor that the Associated Students can confer on an individual. That this year ' s annual is dedicated to Vice-Chancellor Elmer R. Noble will come as no surprise to the students and the faculty of Santa Barbara. As a scientist, educator, and administrator, Dr. Noble has served the University of California in general and Santa Barbara in particular, and has shown himself to be that rare type of person who is equally capable of ad- ministering a large college campus, conducting diligent scientific research, or discussing an elementary problem in biology with a freshman. Dr. Noble was born in Korea of missionary parents and received his secondary education in that country. He attended the University of California at Berkeley, and, upon graduation, he entered graduate school at Berkeley and was awarded his Ph.D. in Zoology. From this point on, Dr. Noble ' s career and the growth of the Santa Barbara campus are filled with closely paralleled events. Dr. Noble first came to Santa Barbara in 1936 as an in- structor in Biology. In 1947, he was chosen as Chairman of the Biological Sciences Department, and in 1951, he was named Dean of Letters and Science. In July, 1956, Dr. Noble was appointed Acting Provost, the position which he held until this year, when he assumed the duties of Vice Chancellor. In addition to administrative and teaching duties, Dr. Noble has maintained a continuous research program centered around investigations of parasitism by protozoans. Recently, he did research work in Marine Bi- ology at the United Kingdom Laboratories in Plymouth, England. His studies have received recognition by research grants from the Society of Sigma Xi, the Office of Naval Research, and the National Science foundation. For his leadership in research, he was selected by the faculty to give the 1955 Faculty Research Lecture, the first given at Santa Barbara. Dr. Noble is also active in civic and com- munity organizations, including Presidency of the Santa Bar- bara Chapter of the American Association for the United Nations.
