In honor of Beloit’s 175th anniversary year, we round up five chapters in the college’s history that speak to the spirit of this place over time. Archivist Emeritus Fred Burwell’86 assisted us with the project and tipped us off to this curious photograph, featuring members of the class of 1887 who seem to be anticipating a reason to celebrate. One of these hats, the one on our cover, still resides in Archives, making a tactile connection to Beloit’s rich past.
At a moment of economic uncertainty, Beloit is enhancing its support of students as they forge successful career paths.
