"The Rocks"

The Rocks became a popular place for students to meet down on the Appomattox River. The group seen here is from the Normal Class of 1913. The term normal referred to teacher training programs. The collegiate institute included training in higher mathematics and humanities subjects. Traditionally, students affiliated with Greek-letter organizations are permitted to display the colorful alphabet of their various organizations on the rocks. Today the Greek organizations take pride in painting The Rocks each year in preparation for VSU's homecoming.
