There has never been a Barings Bank in England. (Class of 2017, #56)

An earlier post in our continuing series examining every item on the Beloit Mindset List was an overview of 20 items about things that happened outside the United States, most of which were clearly not “cultural touchstones” for 18-year-old Americans, including the presence of McDonald’s in China and Moscow, the availability of Pepsi in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and the Royal New Zealand Navy’s daily ration of rum.

I think we can safely agree that the non-existence of a British Bank is similarly of no significance for understanding the mindset of incoming U.S. college students.
