Beloit College marks the start of new academic years by releasing its annual "mindset list" -- helping academics understand that their newest students didn't experience (except maybe from reading on Wikipedia) that may have shaped their professors. Some highlights of the new list, released today:
For the entering class, most born in 1994:
- Kurt Cobain, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Richard Nixon and John Wayne Gacy have always been dead.
- They have always lived in cyberspace, addicted to a new generation of “electronic narcotics.”
- If they miss "The Daily Show," they can always get their news on YouTube.
