Post-war Academic Career
In November 1945, Hallstein returned to Germany, where he campaigned for Frankfurt University to be re-opened. On 1 February 1946, he was appointed a lecturer at that university, and in April was elected its rector, a position he retained until 1948. He was also president of the South German Rectors' Conference. From 1948 to 1949, he spent a year in the United States as visiting professor at Georgetown University (Washington DC).

Famous quotes containing the words post-war, academic and/or career:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
“The academic expectations for a child just beginning school are minimal. You want your child to come to preschool feeling happy, reasonably secure, and eager to explore and learn.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
