Fox Day is an annual tradition established by Rollins’ 10th president, Hugh McKean, in 1956 for a day in spring that's deemed “too pretty to have class.”
But that is not all. The fox was not the only statues on the camps.
"In January 1934, Hamilton Holt, who served as Rollins’ president from 1925 to 1949, acquired statues of a fox and a cat from Senator Murray Sams. These statues permanently stood on the walkway of Rec Hall — a structure the pool replaced," according to the college's Fox Day page. "Inspired by the two statues, Holt founded a “Cat Society” for women and a “Fox Society” for men."
