Fox Day
Past Fox Days
On May 17, 1956, President Hugh McKean placed a statue of a fox on Mills Lawn and declared classes canceled for the day, inviting the students to spend the day “doing things as a college.”
The First Fox Day
The first Fox Day began after lunch and culminated that evening in the Chapel. President McKean broke the news to students who took a welcome break from scheduled plans.
