<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">Edward A. Dickson served as a regent of the University of California from 1913-1946, the longest tenure of any Regent. His vision is credited with helping to make the Los Angeles campus a reality.
In 1955 Mr. Dickson presented the University with an endowment to provide for annual special professorships for retired faculty.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">The 1955 gift document describing this award states:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><i><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="Default"><i><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">For the support and maintenance of special annual professorships in the University of California to which shall be appointed by the President, with the approval of the Regents, persons of academic
rank who have been retired after service in the University of California and who shall receive such awards in addition to their retirement or pension allowances. Awards shall be made upon such conditions of service, research or teaching as The Regents may
require. Professorships so awarded shall be known as the Edward A. Dickson Emeriti Professorships.

<p class="Default"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif">In 2003 the funds for the Dickson award were separated into ten endowments, one dedicated to each campus. The responsibility for making the awards was delegated to the Executive Vice Chancellor or
chief academic officer at each of the ten campuses. On the UCR campus, award oversight and evaluation are performed by the UCR Academic Senate Committee on Faculty Welfare.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
