Learning to Love St. Olaf

because I am required to be here

because I sit on top of the Hill
because the wind whips through the campus
because the leaves change color

because we say ask rather than tell

because I eat fresh Malt-o-Meal
and locally baked cookies
in February and March

because my age has caught up with me

because I have broken my bank account with books
because the books give my knowledge
because the ultimate goal is a diploma
because nobody can tell me why

because to have an education is to have opportunity
because I will do great things
because we are and always will be Oles

because it is late and I still have homework to do
because it is time

-Dan and Wendy
