A statistical survey of three hundred and twenty college students was compared with a 1955 study of attitudes and values in a similar population. Present-day students were judged to be significantly different in attitudes from students twenty years ago. The 1971 students desire fewer children, are less religious, are more approving of women's working and of racial equality, and express more confidence about their future. Student activists reflect the greatest change in attitudes and are seemingly more oriented to the present, while nonactivitists seem closer in values to the 1950 sample.
