The Rock at Northwestern University, a legendary landmark on the Evanston campus in Illinois, USA, is far more than just a boulder. It’s a canvas for creativity, a symbol of student spirit, and a living testament to campus culture.

Perched near the University’s Sheridan Road entrance, The Rock began its journey to fame in the 1940s when students painted it as a prank.

Today, it’s a cherished tradition: student groups, athletes, and activists “claim” The Rock by guarding it for 24 hours before painting it with bold slogans, event promotions, or social statements.

The live webcam captures this dynamic process, offering a front-row seat to the midnight creativity sessions and the ever-changing kaleidoscope of colors that adorn its surface.

The Rock’s history is as rugged as its granite form. Originally part of a 19th-century drinking fountain, it was moved to its current location in the 1960s. Since then, it has become a rallying point for everything from homecoming celebrations to social justice movements.
