Fox Day at Rollins College, a tradition that dates to the mid-1950s, is underway. Here's what that means.

Rollins College celebrates Fox Day.

In the school’s most beloved tradition, Rollins College students were encouraged to spend Thursday having fun out of class as President Grant Cornwell proclaimed it Fox Day, “a day too beautiful to have class.”

Once a year, a fox statue appears on the campus to signal classes have been canceled for a surprise day off.
