T n HIS year the University of Wyoming commemorates the twenty-fifth year of devoted service to its cause of Grace Raymond Hebard, who has contributed to its growth as trustee, librarian, historian, instructor. Dr. Hebard ' s extraordinary energy and concentration, her loyalty to the College that has been child of her spirit, her untiring zeal in its behalf, will ever give her place among the founders of an institution whose future as a great university is assured by its traditions of faith- ful and efficient service in the past. Other service, too, has been Dr. Hebard ' s; service to the State of Wyoming, inci- dents in whose past she has sought out with loving painstaking, whose historic trails and sturdy pioneers she has celebrated by word and deed. The state of her adoption she has loved the more because of its early acceptance of the creed of sex-equality. Always she has used her influence for equal pay and equal opportunity for men and women. And who rejoices more sincerely over a woman ' s success than does Dr. Hebard? It is fitting, therefore, that one of the traditions she will leave to the University of Wyoming will be that of a beautiful friendship with one whose memory is inwoven in the texture of its life, Dr. Agnes Wergeland. Dr. Hebard has been honored many times by many different organizations, national, state, and local. She has served in many official capacities where her exceptional executive ability has stood her cause in good stead. With the student-body of the University of Wyoming she has come into close relationship. Many and many a student bears in his heart memories of great kindnesses on the part of Dr. Hebard and of her surprising thought- fulness. No demand on her time has been too great ; no appeal to her sympathies unan- swered. She has given generously of herself and of her possessions. And in appreciation of her devotion, the Annual of the Class of 1916 bears fittingly her name in its dedication.
