Kissing Rock

2010-12-18T17:06:24Z

=Kissing Rock=
Originally submitted by Lindsay Thompson, Drake University, December 17, 2010
[[File:CIMG1890.JPG|276x205px|left|Taken]]
===Origin===
The Kissing Rock is a tradition at Drake University that has been alive since 1898. The kissing rock, today, represents the place where the [[Chancellor's Elm]]once stood. The tree had to be cut down due to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_elm_disease Dutch Elm's]] disease in 1969. The Chancellor's Elm was the location where Chancellor Carpenter said, "Here, we will build our university," [1] referring to the beginning of Drake University. The rock was placed under the Chancellor's Elm by the graduating class of 1898 [2]. The kissing rock is located just east of the [[Old Main]building.

===Different Meanings[[File:couple_on_rock.jpg|284x222px|right|Provided]]===
Numerous traditions have been attached to the rock. The original meaing behind the rock was that a freshman girl was officially considered a "coed" until she received a kiss on the kissing rock. A "coed" is a term used in the past to describe a girl that attended a coeduational college or university. As described by Vince Nelson, a previous Director of Alumni Relations, "When I was a student at Drake in the 1960's, supposedly if a guy and a gal were dating, and if they would kiss on the rock, they would eventually get married and live a life of happiness." It turned into a right of passage at Drake. From becoming a "coed" to bringing luck to your relationship, the tradition has now dwindled down to not being very well known on campus. When asking current Drake freshman Megan Fisher what she knew about the kissing rock, she gave the response, "I didn't even know there was a kissing rock. Where is it at?" When asking another current student, Paige Menze, about the kissing rock, she gave the response, "All I know about the kissing rock is it's by Old Main, and it was a spot during the scavenger hunt at Welcome Weekend before freshman year." As demonstrated, the kissing rock traditions have become a rarity among the students. It is now just a fact given by the [http://www.drake.edu/advantage/about/ Admissions office] during campus tours [3].
