Fox Club (Harvard)

The Fox Club is a male-only 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 and is a city landmark or otherwise protected property.cite web| last =| first =| authorlink =| coauthors =| title =Cambridge Historical Commission (2001): City of Cambridge, Landmarks and Other Protected Properties| work =| publisher =Cambridge Historical Commission| date =2001-01-02| url =http://www.ci.cambridge.ma.us/~Historic/landmark.pdf| format =PDF| doi =| accessdate =2007-10-30 ]
