Fox Club (Harvard)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fox Club is a male-only, final club at Harvard University. The Club was founded in 1898 as the Digamma Club. The name "Fox" and the club’s symbol, a rampant fox carrying the letter "F" grew from the similarity between the Greek character for Digamma, HJH, and the letter F. The club is located at 44 John F. Kennedy Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1]
