EXEUNT SPECTRA

Now that a new Ladies' Hall is assured us,
Now that our dreams are about to come true,
Thoughts of the conflicts anent its adoption,
Rise like grim spectres and chill us anew.
. . .
Proudly we point to St. Olaf alumnae
Helpful at home and in church work besides,
Womanly, gracious, as teachers successful,
Clever as hostesses, charming as brides.

— Viking 1910-12, p. 295
