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?

    Well, what exactly did he say? Did he say "I want a world without nukes"? Or did he rather say "I want to get rid of the nukes"? Because the latter could well be interpreted as "I want to get rid of the nukes, to make place for better ones."
