Northwestern College (Minnesota) - The Rock

The Rock

Near the center of the Northwestern College campus is a large, colorfully painted rock. Known on campus simply as "The Rock," it serves as a student billboard to announce birthdays, special events, engagements, etc. Students note that it takes at least three cans of spray paint to cover The Rock, and campus etiquette suggests a 24-hour waiting period between paintings.

Famous quotes containing the words the rock and/or rock:

    I love your poetry as I do little else that is near and recent, especially when you get fairly round the end of the line, and are not thrown back upon the rocks.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My spirit looks to God alone,
    My rock and refuge is His throne,
    In all my fears, in all my straits,
    My soul on His salvation waits.
    Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    Here is no water but only rock
    Rock and no water and the sandy road
    The road winding above among the mountains
    Which are mountains of rock without water
    If there were water we should stop and drink
    Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
