Thomas Hugh Gallagher

Thomas Hugh Gallagher was from Ireland. This, of course, proved to be very exotic to the wasp majority. They wrote of him,

Here’ Tom from the Emerald Isle,
With his big happy “Irishy” smile.
If St. Patrick, be-jabers,
He been one of his neighbors,
They’d have charmed every snake for a mile.

Gallagher received a Ph.B. from Upper Iowa University in 1908. At the School of Theology, they called him “Tom,” “Irish,” and “Gallywagger.”
