The Rock is the oldest MSU icon with the most colorful history — in more ways than one.

Functioning as a hand-painted billboard for students by students throughout the decades, the Rock was actually a class gift from the MSU Class of 1873. Today, the Rock is painted with a new message almost every day by students and student organizations. The unwritten rule about painting the Rock is that whoever is there first at night to paint it can do so; however, if the painters decide not to stay and guard the Rock, any other group can come and repaint it.

The Rock is located in a clearing along Farm Lane, near the Auditorium.
