The Chemistry Department's newly appointed assistant professor of Chemistry William E. Moffit will arrive from England shortly to assume his post, Chemistry Department officials announced yesterday.
Moffit was scheduled to start teaching last September, but he had trouble getting a visa to come here because he was born in Berlin.
Termed "one of England's two most brilliant theoretical chemists," Moffit's specialty is quantum mechanics. He will teach this subject here during the spring.
Moffit was appointed to take the place of Edgar B. Wilson, Theodore William Richards Professor of Chemistry, who is on leave of absence for a year.
