"On Palm Sunday in 1958 a chapel in Hilleboe Hall was dedicated to honor the memory of three St. Olaf students whose lives had come to an untimely end. Beverly Blair died of a brain tumor in 1954, Joyce Buntrock died in an auto accident in 1953, and Phyllis Olson Kittlesen died in an auto mishap in 1956. The women of Hilleboe Hall designed the chapel and raised the money for it. The walnut for the benches and altar came from the campus and was finished by St. Olaf carpenters." - Dear Old Hill: The Story of Manitou Heights, the Campus of St. Olaf College
