There is only one Mrs. Raymond, and that is "our" Mrs. Raymond. We all know her and love her. She stands for the best-in everything. Her whole personality means just that, and every student feels her influence directly or indirectly. She has built up the music department so that the University of Nebraska has become known even in the East for its unusual convocation program. It was she who proposed and made possible through her remarkable work at the organ, our splendid symphony programs which have proved so popular. It was her idea to make the Messiah program a traditional Christmas convocation. We all know that "music morning" has come to mean a crowded house. Visiting alumni always inquire whether they can hear one of Mrs. Raymond's musical programs.

      We love Mrs. Raymond because she is so genuinely interested in us. Always modest, always sincere, she gives us freely all that she has. She is never too busy to talk to a student, never too tired to smile cheerily that greeting which encourages us even in memory. She is just our age somehow, and she always appreciates both our troubles and our joys.

      There is indeed just one Mrs. Raymond--our own Mrs. Raymond.

The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride,

The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside,

The doorband strong enough from robbers to defend,--

This door will open at a touch to welcome every friend.

--VanDyke.

     The Young Women's Christian Association is a House of Friendship whose door stands ready to swing open at the touch of a friend. Every girl in the university has the magic power to open this door.
     Within the door are many interests. There are social affairs, Y. W. C. A. teas, and each year a big membership luncheon. Of course, that is a big affair, for the university association is one of the very largest of its kind in the country.
     There is great interest among the members of the House of Friendship in the subject of social service. The girls study social questions. One of the biggest things they do in the line of social service is to establish eight week clubs. These are under the leadership of the university association girls and last during the eight weeks of the summer vacation.
     Then there are the association vesper services every Tuesday evening at five o'clock. They are sometimes informal, consisting of discussions between the girls. At other times men and women who have done big, worth-while things, come and talk to the girls.
     But among all the beautiful things within the House of Friendship, the most wonderful are the friendships formed. The friendship made in this house have a little firmer, sweeter basis, and they leave a more pleasant and lasting memory than those formed among the other girls of the university.
