Raymond was hired in 1894 to direct the university chorus and orchestra. She also taught music until her death in 1927. The first women's dormitory, Raymond Hall, was named for her in 1931. This image is included in Kay Logan-Peters' new book, "University of Nebraska–Lincoln."

Students participate in the parking riot of 1948. The riot started due to a lack of on-campus parking spaces. The riot started after student veterans, recently returned from World War II, confronted police who were ticketing cars that were double parked on streets. The police responded with tear gas. The students ended up marching around campus before parading down O Street in their cars.
