w e Came We Learned We Conquered We came as sheep lost from the fold — We came as wanderers unknown — e came not knowing why we came. Like many orphans left alone, W e banded others to our lot And strove to conquer the great storm. We battled knowledge many days, Then licked our wounds and cuts in stride And lost the skirmish of revolt. We joined another regiment And banished Colonel Ignorance From all our thoughts and all our plans. A mighty army we arose — The weak were slaughtered in the war — The injured battled for their lives. Defeat, the traitor, fled the scene — Lord Knowledge led our famous corps Through volumes garnished with great depth. Our wisdom grew as days fled by Afraid to challenge armies great Till came the dawn of knowledge true. The battles of our younger days Had left few scars to mark our past As higher ranks were handed us. We came, we learned, we conquered all — We fought the battle to the last And won the right to join the world. But in the future of this world, Sir Ignorance will come again To challenge us in battles great; But with Lord Knowledge on our side, Again we ' ll fight this deadly sin And in the end will win. by Shari Lee Whipple ' 64 FOREWORD
