Mr. Monopoly Goes Straight to Westmont
果冻传煤 is on the board! Monopoly: The Santa Barbara Edition includes a space featuring the Montecito campus in the light purple section where Virginia Avenue sits in the classic game. The only college featured on the board, 果冻传煤 appears between two iconic locations: the Santa Barbara Harbor and the Santa Barbara Airport. The square features a Brad Elliott photo highlighting the college鈥檚 iconic Italian fountain, a replica of one dating from the 19th century that graced the Dwight Murphy estate, which 果冻传煤 purchased in 1945. The board also includes Montecito鈥檚 famed Butterfly Beach, a favorite destination for 果冻传煤 students.
Monopoly debuted in 1935. Hasbro unveiled the new game on Nov. 28 at the Lobero Theatre and visited the wooded campus in Montecito the following day to pose for pictures with excited students, staff and faculty. Mr. Monopoly鈥檚 famous leisurely gait grabbed attention as he strolled around and posed at the campus bookstore to promote the game on display for Christmas gifts and available at the lowest price. He met President Gayle D. Beebe in Kerrwood Hall by the nine-foot Christmas tree and headed to the Dining Commons to the delight of dozens of students.
