It bears repeating that Rockford College, when it was known as Rockford Female Seminary, graduated in 1881 a young woman named Jane Addams. She is notable for many achievements, one of which occurred in 1931 when she won the Nobel Peace Prize. She co-founded Chicago’s Hull House, one of the first settlement houses in the country. That’s a remarkable achievement for her and one in which Rockford may take some pride. Fast-forward to 2007 when Rockford discovered it will be the home to Rick’s a music-themed restaurant established by Rick Nielsen, the lead guitarist for Cheap Trick. Fame and achievement suits its era, doesn’t it?
