Nobel Laureate. It appears that John Hasbrouck Van Vleck was the first American-born Dutch American to be awarded the Nobel Prize. He was co-awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, in 1977, for his contributions to the understanding of the behavior of electrons in magnetic solids, also known as the foundation for the quantum theory of para-magnetism.
