New Group Recipients of
Present; To Be Used
For Scholarship.
WOMEN MAY RECEIVE IT
Qualifications to Be Set Up
By Active Group; Not
To Be a Loan.
Announcement of a $100 gift by
the retiring chapter of Mortar
Board to the new group to be giv
en as scholarship gift to some
Nebraska woman in a manner to
be decided by the 19113 women's
haiorary was made yesterday by
Jew Rathburn, president of the
retiring chapter.
The money, aggregated by the
Iap Year party, an Innovation on
the campus this past year spon
sored by Mortar Board, will be
pven outright to some individual
girl and will not be in the nature
of glean. Necessary qualifications
such as class in school, scholastic:
standing, financial need will be set
up by the new chapter.
ln'making the gift, graduating
members of Mortar Board were
united in their desire to further
that ot their threefold purpose
atanrtlng for encouragement of
scholastic achievement on the
campus. "Nationally and locally,
an a senior women's honorary to
which none can be admitted with
out an SO percent average, such
qualification to be considered be
fore all else, Mortar Board has
gone on record favoring and
standing for high scholarship,"
said Miss Kathburn.
Earlier in the year and pre
sented as a first distinct innova
tion in observance of their pur
pose to recognize and stimulate
high scholarship, Mortar Board
entertained some 400 junior and
sophomore women at a tea in Kllen
Smith hall. Only those who had
maintained an 80 average and had
a rernrd free of incompletes and
conditions in the office of the reg
istrar were invited to attend. This
.. setpfld, step of awarding a scholar
ship in money to some deserving
woman represents another attempt
to give tangible evidence of their
good faith relative to this ideal.

BY THE OBSERVER.
While the end of the first sem

been significant, It now appears
that perhaps 1931-32 has not been
such a dull political year after all.
Most significant political de
velopment of the year is the for

"The likelihood of summer R. O.

stated Capt. G. W. Spoerry, of the
military department, Saturday.
"The house of representatives re
cently passed the war department
bill which included appropriation
for these camps, but the senate at
present is working on the tax bill
and some nine or ten other bills
have to wait their turn In the sen
ate. To make things worse for us,
the armv appropriations bill is
about last in priority of the wait
ing bills.
"However, when the senate fin
ishes the tax measure, there is a
possibility the army bill may be
considered next because of the
R. O. T. C. camp feature," the cap
tain stated.
The recent order from the
Washington war offices has caused
many plan3 to be upset for uni

RESIDENCE HALL NAMED IN HONOR
OF CARRIE B. RAYMOND
Because of the years of faithful
service to the university, and pri
marily because of the powerful
1 influence which she yield
ed over the thousands of students
who come under her direction, the
Board of Regents of the University
of Nebraska has considered it very
highly appropriate that the new
women's dormitory now under
construction should be named
after Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond.
From September 1894, till her
death in 1927, Mrs. Raymond was
accnriatorl with the university as
director of the university chorus,
and later as director or music, nn
ability as a musical director was
first noticed by the university
when on her own Initiative she or
ganized a community Oratorio so-

it became a tradition for the
chorus ter present the Messiah at
Christmas time each year. This

follows upon her decision to re

"As the years went on the public

University of Oklahoma
Instructor to Speak
Sunday.
Oscar B. Jacobsen, director of
the school of art at the University
of Oklahoma and an authority on
present (lay American painting,
will lecture on "The Character of
Art" in Morrill hall gallery B,
Sunday, May 22, at 4 o'clock.
Professor Jacobsen has won
recognition for a series of pictures
notable for their bigness of con
ception, keen perception of the
beautiful, and originality in execu
tion. He is known also as a critic
of painting and his lecture engage
ments have taken him to almost
eevry large city in the nation.
Doin in Sweden, Professor
Jacobsen came to America in his
early vouth. He It a graduate of
Bethany college, Lindsborg, Kas.,
where he studied painting with
Birger Sandzen, und of Yale uni
versity. He has studied at numer
ous other places, including the
louvre in Paris. Although he has
painted landscapes of almost every
region in the United States, he has
done his best work in the scenery
of the west and middle west. For
a year he traveled in north Africa
painting desert scenes.
Following the talk. Professor
Jacobsen will be honored by a tea
given by members of the school of
fine arts faculty, under whose
auspices the program is presented.
The public is invited to hear the
lecture and to visit the exhibition
of student art work which is now
exhibited on the second and third
floors of Morrill hall.
made up of raw and eager stu
dents, and a manger and promoter
of many successful concerts and
festivals," wrote Will Owen Jones.
"She was pre-eminent in all these
things. Yet I wonder if she was not
even greater and more useful in
the personal influence she had on
the thousands of students who
came in touch with her vibrant
Twrsonlitv while she had charge
of the Oratorio society, the Con
gregational cnoir, ana me uni
versity chorus.
"In organizing festivals," con
tinued Mr. Jones, "she was obliged
to depend largely upon home sing
ers and orchestras. This material
was never very abundant, ine
public has looked upon her as a
superwoman who had only to wave
her baton over a group of singers
and players to make their per
formance notable. When a per
former did. not quite measure up
to the demands of a concert, she
gave that person hours of special
drill, gave n ireeiy
"Great as she was an artist, she
was even greater as a personality.
A woman of more exalted ideals
and conduct, of greater personal
valor and charm, has never been
within my range of acquaintance."
In 1924 the Kiwanis club pre
sented to Mrs. Raymond the dis
tinguished service medal for her
contributions to the city of Lin
coln and the state of Nebraska.
Mrs. Raymond was the second in
dividual to be so honored. Her con
tributions and her influence which
is still felt by many who remember
her were given largely to the uni
versity, but it is not the university
alone which takes pride in the new
rfnrmitorv named in her honor, for
ft is a pride shared by the city and
the state who also shared in the
benefits cf her talent, leadership,
and personality.
