The above quote is from Judson Brandeis (Class of 1989). Read the full memory below:

My favorite rock memory was that one night I was studying at the rock and it just so happened to be the 350th birthday of Providence. The city was launching fireworks from downtown and they were exploding at just about the height of the Rock. I have never seen fireworks so spectacular as when I was at the level of the fiery colored plumes.
