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 word rock:
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
““O what unlucky streak
Twisting inside me, made me break the line?
What was the rock my gliding childhood struck,
And what bright unreal path has led me here?””
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
