The Rock, near University Hall, is one of the best known landmarks on the Evanston campus. It has been a symbol at Northwestern University for more than 100 years. Students began painting the Rock in the 1940s, first as a prank, then as an accepted avenue of expression. Now, almost every night, a different group paints a message or symbols promoting a particular cause or event.
