Berry Student Trends
through the Ages
Story and Design by

In the 1960s, America was going through the Vietnam
War, civil rights protests, and the assassinations of
influential figures like John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther
King Jr. In the 1960s at Berry College, students were fighting
for reforms of strict rules that demanded students to
wear uniforms, attend mandatory weekly religious services,
and participate in forced work requirements.
Today, the average Berry Student doesn’t have to
worry about these things and can usually be found sporting
their Chaco’s and Life is Good T-shirt, hanging out in an
Eno, running their own business, or reaching hour 10 of
studying for a tough exam.
Back in the day, Berry students were much different
than they are today, and their clothes are only the obvious
part. Not only did Berry once have a Home Economics
Club, but it took a long time to let their students keep up
with the fashion of their decade. Free expression of self
and customized personality through what we wear is something
that we take for granted today.
