Each August since 1998, Beloit College has released the Beloit College Mindset List, providing a look at the cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college this fall.

The Beloit College Mindset List, which this year is as old as the entering students themselves, is created by Ron Nief, Emeritus Director of Public Affairs; Tom McBride, Emeritus Professor of English; and Charles Westerberg. Additional items on the list as well as commentaries and guides are found
here and at www.themindsetlist.com Regular updates and discussions are on Facebook and Twitter.

See the Mindset List for the Class of 2019

Previous lists are available online dating back to the Class of 2002.

Among the 50 entries I found it interesting that, from their perspective, there's always been Google, South Park, and mass-produced hybrid vehicles. What is/are your favorite(s) and why? What did they leave out?

    Barry Goldwater was the Republican presidential candidate in 1964, running against LBJ.
    In that previous generation, the guy they called "Mr. Conservative" had a vision of a very muscular USA military.
    (He retired from the USAF Reserve as a Major General (2 stars)).

    You may find it shocking, however, to learn that when it came to how to treat working people he had a -true- Conservative understanding of social responsibility. [googleusercontent.com] (orig)[1] [commondreams.org]
