	John Hasbrouck van Vleck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Hasbrouck van Vleck (March 13, 1899 – October 27, 1980) was an American physicist.
		Van Vleck developed fundamental theories of the quantum mechanics of magnetism and the bonding in metal complexes (crystal field theory).
		For his contributions to the understanding of electrons in non-crystalline magnetic solids, van Vleck was awarded the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physics, along with Philip W. Anderson and Sir Nevill Mott.

		John Van Vleck was a teacher of mathematics and astronomy at the Wesleyan University from 1853 until his death in 1912.
		Finally, it is shown that the Van Vleck zero-one law, which in generality falls between that of Borel and that of Kolmogorov, is further distinguished in that it provides the key step in establishing what may be the earliest example in ergodic theory of a metrically transitive transformation.
		Van Vleck was an editor of the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society from 1905 to 1910, vice-president in 1909, and president from 1913 to 1914.

	Wesleyan Science 1831-1942
		For example, in the 1831 catalogue Rev. John P. Durbin was designated Professor of Natural Science, but almost immediately he resigned to become chaplain of the United States Senate, whereupon the instruction in natural science was assumed by Rev. John M. Smith, whose original assignment had been the professorship of ancient languages and literatures.
		This presumed ability of a teacher to shift from one subject to another when needed is analogous to a similar custom in preparatory schools until quite recently, and since boys of fourteen could be admitted to Wesleyan in those days, it is clear that the subjects studied were often elementary in nature.
		John Johnston held the chair of natural science from 1837 until his retirement in 1873.
