Beloit College Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
Beloit College is a liberal arts college in Beloit, Wisconsin and a member of the Associated Colleges of the Midwest. Beloit College, the first post secondary education institution in Wisconsin, was founded by a group called Friends for Education, which was started by seven pioneers from New England who agreed that a college needed to be established soon after arrival in Wisconsin Territory. The group raised funds for a college to be founded in their new town and convinced the territorial legislature to enact their charter for Beloit College into law on February 2, 1846. The first building for the college (called Middle College) was built in 1847, and it remains in operation today. The first president of Beloit was a Yale University graduate named Aaron Lucius Chapin, who served as president from December of 1849 until 1886, and under whose direction the college became widely known for scholastic achievement and for its willingness to experiment with new curricular approaches. Beloit College remains nationally known for its innovative curriculum, which retains many aspects of the “Beloit Plan” from the 1960s. In 2000, Beloit was included in the book Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools You Should Know About Even if You’re Not a Straight-A Student (ISBN 0-14-029616-6). Started by the Keck Family, the philanthropic family most noted for forming the popular children’s’ show Sesame Street, the Keck Consortium is a research collaboration of several similar colleges across the United States, including Amherst College, Pomona College, and Washington and Lee University to name a few. Two public museums are on Beloit’s campus and are run by College staff and students. Beloit College’s campus also houses two sculpture works by renowned international public artist Siah Armajani, these are his “Gazebo for One Anarchist: Emma Goldman 1991” and “The Beloit College Poetry Garden.” Recently, Beloit College students broke the world record for the longest game of Ultimate by playing for over 72 hours . Beloit College also has a frisbee golf course contained almost entirely within the grounds of the college. Since 1998, the college has become known for the annual “Mindset Lists,” written by Professor Tom McBride, summarizing pop culture references which are allegedly meaningless to incoming college freshmen or to their parents. Justice Richard Goldstone was named the 2007 Weissberg Distinguished Professor of International Studies at Beloit College, in Beloit, Wisconsin.
