Mr.. Gallinger, in spite of the fact
that he has lived in this country
only two years, has a good COM
mand of the English language and
is a forceful speaker. The club of
townspeople, faculty and students
of the University rounded applaud

Mr.. Gallinger has been a stu
dent at the University during the
present year and gra du t e d
with degree of Bachelor of Arts
Monday night.
Two and a half years ago Jo-
SET S. Gallinger came to America
to escape Hitler's persecution of
the Jews. With him were his wife
and his siX-months old daughter.
The 26-year old graduate of Teach
ers College, Wuerzburg, Germany,
who spoke but little English, found
a job as religious teacher in New
York. After six months work
there he answered newspaper
ad out of Jacksonville, Fla, and
the Jacksonville Jewish Center Sc
lected him over strong competition
as an instructor in their religious
schools.
He was well prepared for this
position. He had studied under
some of the most famous teachers
of modern education at the Univ
ersity of Wuerzburg and after
having served as a principal Of a
small-town school for short time
he had been called to the teaching
staff of one of the Oldest a n d
largest high schools Of Germany,
the Philantropin in Frankfurt on
Main. This high school is one of
the few non-English institutions,
whose graduates are admitted to
the University of Cambridge, Eng
land, without examination. It is
said there are only three schools
enjoying such a rating on all of
the European continent.
Josef Gallinger had not long
been in Jacksonville before he de-
termined to further his studies,
and entered the University of Flor
ida's second summer session in
1889. He continued his studies
during the school year, coming
here first three days then once
each week, using the night for part
of his committing. Gallinger might

have entered into graduate study
Immediately on registering in the
university, but he elected to first
secure bachelors degree from an
American institution, to lay a
firm general foundation for his
work in the New World.
This week he received a
bachelors degree from the Univ
ersity of Florida. His scholarly
achievements have been acknow-
lodged by his election to Pi Gam
ma Mu and Kappa Delta Pi, hon
orary fraternities of social science
and education, respectively.
With his German degree, and
his degree from the University of
Florida, Gallinger intends to con-
tinue teaching in the state. He
has not yet announced his choice
of two offers rendered him.
Joe Gallinger was born in 1912
in Bavaria, Southern Germany,
where his father still lives. His
mother died two years ago. One

Joe, having been president of
the student body of his college in
Wuerzburg for the two terms of
his senior year, shows keen inter-
est in American university life.
"The University of Florida, and
all of the people I've met in this
state, have been kind to me, and
am extremely grateful for this
Kindness" Gallinger, who now
speaks English excellently, said
today. "The cooperative spirit
among the teachers, the outstand-
ing Honor System and self gov
eminent of the students, and the
opportunity afforded to all boys
who are sincerely interested in
college, make the university real
democratic and notable institu-
tion," he added. The Jewish fra
ternities have greatly assisted Gal
linger as well as the Jacksonville
Jewish Center.
His d e gree was one of 3S2
conferred Monday night, and the
fact that he is one of the special
group whose diploma carried
the added words with Honors''
makes Gallinger indeed a very
happy 1910 U. of F. graduate.

little attention, and scattered selling
by commission houses was offset by
some mill buying. The dearth of

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Traders
worked both sides of the street in
today's stock market and results
were exceptionally spotty.
Steels and an assortment of indus
trials backed away at the start but
subsequent buying f1urries in air
crafts and rails steadied the list.
Extreme losses of major fractions
to more than 2 points were reduced
here and there and gains running to
point or SO for scattered favorites
were in evidence at the close.
Dealings speeded up in the morn
ing, then subsidized, but transfers
for the full session were around

to do with inspiring early profit

home business news still was of a
heartenlng nature. fears of a new
lineup of the Soviets with the axis
powers dlmmed speculative senti-
ment TO some extent. Commitments,
consequently, were lightened and
considerable switching was done by
those attempting to put accounts in
shape for foreign upsets.

were United Aircraft. Boeing,
