Beloit is the oldest (continuing) college north west of the mississippi. (Techinally Carroll college got their charter a few months before we did, but our classes opened in fall of 1846, Carroll did not open for classes for another 10 years or so)

One of our most famous alums, Roy Chapman Andrews, was the model for Indiana Jones. (He discovered the first dinosaur egg, thus proving that dinosaurs were reptiles, not mammals, though this is now under review)

Our Anthro Museum's base collection was given to us by Marshall Field (yes, he's more than a great store). He bought the collection, half to create the Chicago Field Museum, the other half
The first known black woman was initiated into DG on our campus. (The charter was then pulled)

We are in the top five schools for student satisfaction

We rank in the top schools were people ignore God

Finally, we were kicked out of the mid-west athletic conference because our basketball team was so good. We then stopped recruiting the best basketball players.
