This year's book has been dedicated to the 125th Anniversary of Whittier College and the 100th Anniversary of the Rock. Much has happened this school year, and we have done our best in providing a look back at 6 everything in celebration of this mark in our history. Editor-in-Chief As you will see running along the bottom of every page of this year's book is a historic timeline. We have spent all year gathering facts and pictures to show the history of our entirety here in Whittier. From our start as a city, our founders, the creation of Whittier Academy, to the beginning die c4q of Whittier College, all the way until now. Our hope is that you will find it informing and gain a sense of pride for being a part of the Poet family and legacy. Our college holds a lot of value, and sometimes, it needs to be recognized more often than not. On a final note, congratulations to the graduating class of 2013! Whether you have been here for four years, or are a transfer student, you finished together this year and ended strong. You will be leaving behind your own history and footsteps for the underclassmen as you make your way into the real world. Whittier will always be your home, and we hope this book will help to document the greatness that you have left behind. Enjoy your hard earned degree and continue to strive further!

Built on the hillside edge of a dusty Western town and born of the vision and determination of the Quaker settlers of Whittier, California, this College has remained President of Whittier C'ollege true to its founding ambitions throughout its illustrious history. And if there is one characteristic that best defines our College and our graduates, it is leadership. Therefore, this year's theme is most fitting: Whittier College - 125 Years of Defining Leadership. These special anniversaries have provided opportunities to celebrate Whittier's past and present. Whittier's longstanding strengths include faculty and staff who - across a century and more - have dedicated themselves to students' success. At this College, we also celebrate our distinctive diversity that enhances educational opportunities and makes Whittier a national model for campuses that will look like ours in the coming decades. This year marks a propitious time of building on Whittier College's achievements and, with full appreciation of this longstanding mission, to move the College in directions that those celebrating our 150th anniversary will applaud. While I cannot envision precisely the Whittier of 25 years from now, I do know that we are preparing the College for an auspicious future. We have ambitious plans for new academic and residential buildings and a new landscape guide designed to enhance the beauty and identity of our campus, with an eye to environmental sustainability. Most significantly, we are engineering new academic and co-curricular programs that will build on our proud tradition of innovation, particularly in interdisciplinary study and teaching that is central to wise citizenship, professional accomplishment, and an excellent education. Those who are reading this issue of the Acropolis just after its publication will one day return to the College and admire the enhancements that followed their time on campus. Named after a poet who served as the conscience for the nation, this College adheres to our founders' mission to educate graduates to respect people of all backgrounds and nationalities; to serve community; and to listen to disparate voices, build consensus, and act with integrity. Whittier is a venerable institution and together, we have achieved much in the past 125 years. And our graduates are taking the Light of Learning that was ignited here to communities all over the globe. 1906 1945 Students at Whittier Academy Whittier's Victory Ship, launched pose for the camera. after the Allies were victorious in Europe and the U.S. was gear- ing up the war in the Pacific.

This year, I' alumni of the Lancer Society paid to have the Rock moved away from the Campus ' Center building so that passing people and students could see it better from Painter Avenue.

Eventually, the Rock continued another tradition of the burning of the Rock, helping to take off some of the paint build up to keep it relatively the same original size. Of course, with the possession of this Rock also comes the pranks that other schools have done on us. For example, students from Occidental decided to make it seem as though the Rock had been stolen by digging a hole next it the Rock, but putting all of the dirt on top of the Rock. It was chaos but looking back, we can have a good laugh about it. In moving of the Rock this year, we also saw how much history was in the paint that came off of the Rock. Looking at the right of this section, we see history brought forth through the many layers of paint that has been put on this Rock. Students had an opportunity to grab a piece for themselves here and there of what seemed to be trash. Most of the salvaged layers were sold at this year's Homecoming booth by the Lancer Society as a fundraiser. With this new change, the Rock will be here for another 100 years, giving new stories to future students and a new perspective on what are dear and representa- tive of this school. The Rock will forever be in the hearts of all fellow Poet students and at the heart of this school.

  • The Concept of Skin Bleaching and Body Image Politics in Kenya
    “FAIR AND LOVELY”: THE CONCEPT OF SKIN BLEACHING AND BODY IMAGE POLITICS IN KENYA Joyce Khalibwa Okango A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2017 Committee: Jeffery A Brown, Advisor Jeremy Wallach Esther Clinton © 2017 Enter your First and Last Name All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeffrey Brown, Advisor The practice of skin bleaching or chemically lightening of skin has become a worldwide concern particularly in the past three decades. In Africa, these practices are increasingly becoming problematic due to the circumstances surrounding the procedure and the underlying health risks. Despite these threats, skin bleaching and other body augmentation procedures remain prevalent around the world. This thesis uses a multipronged approach in examining the concept of skin bleaching and body image politics in Kenya. I argue that colonial legacies, globalization, increase in the use of technology, and the digitization of Kenya television broadcasting has had a great impact on the spread and shift of cultures in Kenya resulting to such practices. I will also look at the role of a commercial spaces within a city in enabling and providing access to such practices to middle and lower class citizens. Additionally, this study aims at addressing the importance of decolonizing Kenyans concerning issues surrounding beauty and body image. iv This thesis is a special dedication to loving father, for believing in girl child education and sacrificing everything to see me succeed. For setting the bar so high for me and cheering me on as I made every stride.
