Howard’s Rock vandalized

Police are investigating recent vandalism to an iconic fixture on the campus of Clemson University.  Howard’s Rock, the inspirational rock Clemson players rub prior to running down the hill during the football team’s entrance into Memorial Stadium, was vandalized sometime between June 2 and 3.  A small portion of the Rock was broken off of its pedestal after vandals broke the casing that protects the artifact. There was no damage to the pedestal that supports the rock.
