He received his dental degree in 1928 from University of Illinois College of Dentistry and received his medical degree in 1933 from Rush Medical School. His education was interrupted because of World War I in 1917 and 1919. He was married to Elizabeth Noyes and had a daughter, Loren N. Bates.

While being Dean at Oregon Health & Science University School of Dentistry, Dr. Noyes introduced the "Vertical Curriculum" for dental students. He allowed first-year dental students to construct full dentures and participate in exercise of tooth morphology.
