Before Their Time

Every year the folks at Beloit College in Wisconsin come up with what they call Mindset List for the incoming freshman class. One can speculate as to why they do it. Perhaps it is an attempt to let faculty view the new student body in the proper perspective. The Mindset List for the Class of 2008 (born in 1986) tells us these students never knew a world without Prozac, there has always been a Comedy Channel, have always been comfortable with gay characters on TV, never knew Wrigley Field before night games.
