A commemorative plaque listing the names of the founders was dedicated 1 March 1954 and is displayed in historic Downtown Sanford.

Early benefactors of Rollins College included [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago]] businessman Alonzo Rollins (1832-1887), for whom the college is named.  Rollins made substantial donations to enable the founding of the college, and was a trustee and its first treasurer.<ref>Gayle Prince Rajtar, Steve Rajtar, [https://books.google.com/books?id=6SbG9m3HKREC&dq=%22rollins+college%22+%22Alonzo+Rollins%22&pg=PA35 Winter Park Chronicles], 2011, page 35</ref>

Another early benefactor was [[Franklin Fairbanks]] of [[St. Johnsbury, Vermont]].  Fairbanks was president of the family business, Fairbanks Scales, and was a founder of Winter Park, a donor to Rollins College and a trustee.<ref>Winter Park Public Library, [http://cdm16732.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p16732coll1/id/3 Winter Park History Digital Collections: Colonel Franklin Fairbanks], retrieved January 14, 2014</ref>

In March of [[Timeline of Florida History|1936]] during a visit to [[Central Florida]], U.S. president [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] was conferred an honorary degree in literature at the [[Knowles Memorial Chapel|Knowles Chapel]] on campus. Other U.S. presidents who have visited the campus include [[Calvin Coolidge]] (1930), [[Harry Truman]] (1949), [[Ronald Reagan]] (1976; prior to his 1980 election), and [[Barack Obama]] (2012).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://social.rollins.edu/wpsites/libraryarchives/2012/02/22/celebrating-presidents-day/|title=Celebrating President's Day|publisher=Rollins College|access-date=2012-08-08|date=2012-02-22|archive-date=2019-07-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190714052700/http://social.rollins.edu/wpsites/libraryarchives/2012/02/22/celebrating-presidents-day/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rollins.edu/news/2012/08/president-barack-obama-holds-a-grassroots-event-at-rollins.html|title=President Barack Obama Holds Grassroots Event at Rollins|publisher=Rollins College|access-date=2012-08-08|archive-date=2013-12-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131216084916/http://www.rollins.edu/news/2012/08/president-barack-obama-holds-a-grassroots-event-at-rollins.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Firing of John Andrew Rice and required loyalty pledge===
President [[Hamilton Holt]] decided to require all professors to make a "loyalty pledge" to keep their jobs. In March 1933, Holt fired [[John Andrew Rice]], an atheist scholar and unorthodox teacher, whom Holt had hired, along with three other "golden personalities" (as Holt called them), in his push to put Rollins on the cutting edge of innovative education, for refusing to sign the loyalty pledge. The American Association of University Professors censured Rollins.  The widely publicized case was investigated by the [[American Association of University Professors]], and it is known as the "Rollins College Case" among historians of [[Academic tenure in North America|tenure]]. The four fired faculty quickly founded experimental [[Black Mountain College]], with a gift from a former Rollins College faculty member.<ref>Mary Seymour, "The Ghosts of Rollins (and Other Skeletons in the Closet)", ''Rollins Magazine'', fall 2011, http://www.rollins.edu/magazine/fall-2011/ghosts-of-rollins-2.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190504054341/https://www.rollins.edu/magazine/fall-2011/ghosts-of-rollins-2.html |date=2019-05-04 }};  https://www.jstor.org/stable/40218822</ref>

===Okinawa statue===
In October 1994, the school made international headlines when the government of Japan, per the request of its [[Okinawa Prefecture]], asked for the return of a statue that was taken as [[war loot]] after the [[Battle of Okinawa]] in 1945 by Clinton C. Nichols, at that time, a [[lieutenant commander]] in the [[United States Navy]] and a Rollins alumnus. Nichols had presented the statue of [[Ninomiya Sontoku]], a prominent 19th-century Japanese agricultural leader, [[philosopher]], [[moral philosopher|moralist]], and [[economist]], to then-President Hamilton Holt, who promised to keep the statue permanently in the main lobby of the Warren Administration Building.<ref name=SeekingOkinawaNYT>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/24/arts/okinawa-seeks-return-of-statue.html|title=Okinawa Seeks Return Of Statue|publisher=New York Times, 1994|access-date=2010-09-30|first=William H.|last=Honan|author-link=William H. Honan|date=1994-10-24}}</ref> At first, the school rejected the offer made by Okinawan officials, who suggested that a replica of the statue will be presented to the school if the original was returned to the island. After consulting both with the [[United States Department of State|U.S. State Department]] and the school's board of trustees, then-President Rita Bornstein accepted the offer and the statue was returned to Okinawa in 1995 in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the end of [[World War II]].<ref name=ReturningOkinawaNYT>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/11/05/arts/college-is-returning-statue-to-okinawa.html|title=College Is Returning Statue to Okinawa|publisher= [[The New York Times]], 1994|access-date=2010-09-30|date=1994-11-05}}</ref> In addition to providing the school with a replica of the original statue, the government of Okinawa and Rollins signed "an agreement of cooperation" that pledges to develop additional cooperative projects between the college and [[Okinawa Shogaku High School|Shogaku Junior and Senior High School]], the Okinawan school where the original statue has been placed.<ref name=OkinawaTwistNYT>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/05/27/us/new-twist-in-cultural-saga.html|title=New Twist in Cultural Saga|publisher=[[The New York Times]], 1996|access-date=2010-09-30|first=William H.|last=Honan|author-link=William H.

===Kairis case===
On March 31, 1998, the body of Jennifer Leah Kairis, a [[Sophomore year|sophomore]] student, was found in her Ward Hall [[dormitory]] room by a [[residential assistant]]. Kairis, who had attended a fraternity party held by the [[Tau Kappa Epsilon]] chapter on campus hours before she had died, was both legally intoxicated and had a large amount of prescription drugs in her system.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=lHM9ltEQIU0C&dq=Jennifer+Kairis%2C&pg=PA272 ''Wrongs of Passage: Fraternities, Sororities, Hazing, and Binge Drinking''] from ''[[Google Books]]''. Retrieved on 2011-02-11</ref> At first, the assistant medical examiner at the [[Orange County, Florida|Orange County]] coroner's office ruled Kairis' death as a [[homicide]]. However, that conclusion was quickly changed after Shashi Gore, the county's chief medical examiner ruled that she had died as a result of an accidental prescription drug overdose.

On March 4, 2004, Bruce Hyma, the [[Miami-Dade County, Florida|Miami-Dade County]] chief medical examiner and expert toxicologist hired by State Attorney Lawson Lamar ruled that Kairis had committed suicide via a prescription drug [[overdose]].<ref name="KairisWPBF">{{cite web|url=http://www.wpbf.com/news/2899203/detail.html|title=Toxicologist Rules Death Of Rollins Student Overdose|publisher=[[WPBF]], 2004|access-date=2010-09-30}}</ref> The seven-year investigation was officially closed on April 13, 2005.<ref name="KairisCaseClosedWPBF">{{cite web|url=http://www.wpbf.com/news/4378434/detail.html|title=Death Of Rollins Student Ruled Suicide|publisher=[[WPBF]], 2005|access-date=2010-09-30}}</ref> Regardless of the investigation's outcome, the Kairis family asked then Governor [[Jeb Bush]] to bring in an outside medical examiner to take another look at the case and autopsy results and order an independent investigation of their daughter's death to resolve what they called the "Dueling Medical Examiners".

===Security measures===
In September 2011, as a result of robbery suspects' use of the campus to hide from law enforcement officers as well as the armed robbery of two students who were sitting in a car outside their dormitory within one week, the college's administration initiated discussions on new security measures. Some measures included blocking or limiting access to four of the school's entrances and installing new security cameras to assure student and faculty safety on campus.<ref>[http://www.wesh.com/r/29312268/detail.html ''Rollins Plans New Security Measures Crimes Shake Campus''] from ''[[WESH]]'' 27 September 2011</ref><ref>[http://www.cfnews13.com/article/news/2011/september/318959/Suspect-in-violent-robbery-at-Rollins-College-on-the-run ''Suspect in violent robbery at Rollins College on the run''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314224044/http://mynews13.com/article/news/2011/september/318959/suspect-in-violent-robbery-at-rollins-college-on-the-run |date=2016-03-14 }} from ''[[Central Florida News 13]]'' 26 September 2011</ref><ref>[http://www.clickorlando.com/news/29227113/detail.html ''Arrests At Rollins Unrelated To Love Triangle Shooting''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111029053550/http://www.clickorlando.com/news/29227113/detail.html |date=2011-10-29 }} from ''[[WKMG-TV|WKMG]]'' 19 September 2011</ref> On January 7, 2014, a full-scale drill with armed police officers was held to make sure the college was ready in the event a hostile incident was to take place on campus.<ref>[http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/emergency-drill-held-rollins-college-winter-park/ncgGH/ ''Emergency drill held at Rollins College in Winter Park''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151120100034/http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/emergency-drill-held-rollins-college-winter-park/ncgGH/ |date=2015-11-20 }} from ''www.myfoxorlando.com'' 8 January 2014</ref> In October 2014, school officials alerted the student body of four incidents at one of its public parking garages near the campus where female students were threatened by a male aggressor.<ref>[http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/rollins-college-enhances-security-measures/nhbsG/ ''Rollins College alerts students of four suspicious incidents at parking garage''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151120122940/http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/rollins-college-enhances-security-measures/nhbsG/ |date=2015-11-20 }} from ''[[WFTV]]'' 3 October 2014</ref>

=== Architecture ===
[[File:Rollins college viewfromlake.jpg|thumb|View of buildings from Lake Virginia]]

The Rollins campus is well known for its highly decorative [[Spanish Colonial Revival architecture|Spanish]] and [[Mediterranean Revival architecture|Mediterranean Revival]] style [[architecture]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Archives |first=Rollins |title=Rollins College Architecture |url=https://lib.rollins.edu/olin/Archives/Architecture/Arch/}}</ref> According to College Historian and [[Professor Emeritus]] Jack C. Lane, the Spanish-Mediterranean style blended best with the natural environment of Florida, and that Rollins 8th president Hamilton Holt felt "the college's unified curriculum should be reflected in the architectural style." Lane goes on to state that Rollins' campus architecture has stayed consistent since its opening, and that "the college has been extremely fortunate to have leaders who recognized the significance of architectural style for the educational process. By making certain that new buildings retained a harmony of design, these leaders left present and future generations a deeply profound legacy: architectural beauty and unity create a spiritual sense of place that inspires the entire educational and social life of a college."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lane |first=Jack |title=A Brief History of Rollins Architecture |url=https://lib.rollins.edu/olin/Archives/Architecture/Arch/a_brief_history_of_rollins_archi.htm}}</ref>

===Pugsley Hall and Mayflower Hall===
In 1930, President Holt announced the gifts of Cornelius Pugsley and an anonymous donor for the construction of two women's dormitories, with their interiors designed by [[Virginia Huntington Robie]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Virginia Huntington Robie |url=https://lib.rollins.edu/olin/oldsite/archives/golden/Robie.htm |access-date=2022-08-05 |website=lib.rollins.edu}}</ref> Pugsley and Mayflower Halls were dedicated in 1931. Mayflower Hall received its name from the Pilgrim ship. The Society of Friends at Chalfont St. Giles, Buckinghamshire, gave Rollins a 16-inch section of beam from the ship, which, it had been discovered, had been salvaged to build a haybarn in England. The block of wood was placed above the fireplace in Mayflower Hall.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rollins.edu/magazine/archive/spring2010/stories/historical-4.html|title=A Rollins Perspective|work=Rollins Magazine|date=Spring 2010|access-date=2016-04-05|archive-date=2021-05-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210506104103/https://www.rollins.edu/magazine/archive/spring2010/stories/historical-4.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Tau Kappa Epsilon]] fraternity moved into Pugsley Hall in 1997 and have occupied it all but one academic year since. In the 1990s, there were rows of shrubbery on either side of the sidewalk leading up to Pugsley Hall, which sits at the end of Park Avenue.

===Chase Hall===
Chase Hall was built in 1908 and named for [[Loring Augustus Chase]]. It was built using white sand-lime brick with stone trim and a [[Ludowici Roof Tile|Ludowici]] tile roof. At its construction it contained eight double and six single rooms, along with a large common room.<ref>{{cite news |title=The Sand-Spur |url=https://archive.org/details/dp0004284/page/n39/mode/2up |volume=15 |issue=1 |date=1909}}</ref>

The hall was used as a men's dormitory through 1966, then until 1999 it was used by the [[Sigma Phi Epsilon]] fraternity, followed by the [[Phi Delta Theta]] fraternity.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archives.rollins.edu/cdm/ref/collection/archland/id/213 |title=Loring A.

===Cross Hall===
Cross Hall is named after Lucy Cross, the "Mother of Rollins College" (see above).<ref name="http://www.rollins.edu/lucycross"/>

=== Hooker Hall ===
Hooker Hall was named after, the first president of Rollins College, [[Edward P. Hooker|Edward Payson Hooker]] (1838-1904). The building was originally used as housing for the [[Theta Kappa Nu]] fraternity then, in 1939, the [[Lambda Chi Alpha]] fraternity moved in.<ref>{{cite web|title = Hooker Hall|url = http://lib.rollins.edu/olin/Archives/Architecture/Arch/hooker_hall.htm|website = lib.rollins.edu|access-date = 2015-09-03}}</ref> Hooker was a [[Chi Psi]] at [[Middlebury College]] (Mu '54) and played an integral part in bringing the Chi Psi chapter, Alpha Mu Delta, to Rollins in 1977. Today, Hooker Hall is home to the Chi Psi fraternity, and is known to many faculty and students as The Chi Psi Lodge.

===Pinehurst Cottage===
The Rollins College website states that Pinehurst Cottage and Knowles I, the two structures established when the college founded, suffered a fire in 1909 which destroyed Knowles Hall and scorched Pinehurst's exterior. Pinehurst, originally a women's residence hall, over the years transformed into a men's dormitory, co-ed dormitory, the home of President Ward, a Library, chemistry lab, infirmary and then classroom. In November 1985, Pinehurst received Winter Park's Historic Preservation Commission's Historic Landmark award. The college renovated to maintain the building's original appearance. Today, Pinehurst is a co-ed residence hall that houses a special interest group which promotes academic fulfillment outside the classroom.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rollins.edu/tour/pinehurst.html |title=Pinehurst Cottage {{pipe}} Self-Guided Campus Tour {{pipe}} Rollins College |publisher=Rollins.edu |access-date=2014-08-14 |archive-date=2016-03-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304092511/http://www.rollins.edu/tour/pinehurst.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[File:Rollins College Carnegie Library.jpg|thumb|Rollins College Carnegie Library (Now Olin Library)]]

===Olin Library===
Rollins' Olin Library was dedicated in 1985, with a US$4.7 million grant from the [[F.W. Olin Foundation]] (${{formatprice|{{Inflation|US|4700000|1984|r=1}}}} today). It is four stories high, with {{convert|54000|sqft|m2}} containing thousands of volumes, periodicals, serials, electronic resources, a number of special collections, and hundreds of compact discs, DVDs, and videotapes. From 1909 until 2011, the library was a federal government documents repository. Olin still provides access to hundreds of online government resources.<ref name="HistOlinLibrary">{{cite web|url=http://www.rollins.edu/library/about/histplan.html|title=History of the Olin Library|publisher=Olin Library, Rollins College|access-date=2010-09-25|archive-date=2014-06-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140624232210/http://www.rollins.edu/library/about/histplan.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>  Olin Library was one of three recipients of the 2013 [[ACRL]] Excellence in Academic Libraries Award.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.acrl.ala.org/acrlinsider/archives/6601 |title=2013 ACRL Excellence in Academic Libraries Award Winners |publisher=Acrl.ala.org |date=2013-01-29 |access-date=2014-08-14 |archive-date=2020-12-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201201023251/https://acrl.ala.org/acrlinsider/archives/6601 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2021, Olin Library collaborated with Rollins' Department of Art & Art History and the [[Cornell Fine Arts Museum|Rollins Museum of Art]] to establish the Rollins Book Arts Collection, an interdisciplinary teaching collection, directly supporting the college's curriculum and its long tradition of liberal education. The purpose of the collection is to use art as a medium through which students can better understand multifaceted issues — global politics, economies, cultures; the tensions around social structures and marginalized populations; conflicts between human development and the environment; art as a concept, expression, and a communication tool; and other contemporary issues that students will encounter in their coursework and everyday lives. It can be accessed in the reading room of Olin Library's Archives and Special Collections.

====Olin Electronic Research and Information Center====
The Olin Electronic Research and Information Center was also established in 1998 with a second gift of US$2.7 million from the [[F.W. Olin Foundation]] (${{formatprice|{{Inflation|US|2700000|1997|r=1}}}} today). The center features the latest technology, including computer stations, color printers, scanners, audio and video digitizers, compact discs, videodiscs, and videotapes. These tools facilitate creativity as students pursue research questions, prepare multimedia presentations, and create Web pages.<ref name="HistOlinLibrary"/>

====Origins as a "Carnegie Library"====
Olin Libraries' collection is one of the oldest and most extensive in [[Central Florida]], dating back (1909-1951) to its [[Carnegie Library]] founding as one of the [[List of Carnegie libraries in Florida|original 14 Florida libraries]] funded by [[Andrew Carnegie]]. The original collection, at the founding of Rollins College in 1885, consisted of one Christian Bible and one dictionary.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rollins.edu/library/about/history.html|title=History of the Library - About Us - Olin Library - Rollins College - Winter Park, FL|website=www.rollins.edu}}</ref> According to Cohen (2006), Carnegie's "donation of 108 libraries to colleges in the first two decades of the twentieth century assisted 10% of the institutions of higher learning in the United States. Carnegie had a preference for colleges and universities that served [[African-American]] students, which Rollins College president William Fremont Blackman noted the school did in a letter to Carnegie appealing for a library in 1904:<ref>Cohen, D.K. (2000). Andrew Carnegie and Academic Library Philanthropy: The Case of Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida. Libraries & Culture, 35(3), 389-408. {{JSTOR|25548838}}</ref>

{{cquote|The fact that it is the only college in the country, North or South, in which the grandchildren of abolitionists and confederate soldiers, in about equal numbers, sit together in the same class-room and play together on the same athletic field, and learn thus to understand, respect and love one another;}}

Blackman's request consisted of $35,000 in total (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|35000|1904|r=0}}}} today): "$20,000 for a fireproof building, $3,000 for books, and $12,000 as an endowment for the continued purchase of books" (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|20000|1904|r=0}}}}, ${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|3000|1904|r=0}}}} and ${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|12000|1904|r=0}}}} today respectively). Blackman received a response from Carnegie's secretary James Bertram that noted the request was too general for consideration, and that Carnegie would need a profile of the university before consideration. Little progress was made for over a year, when Blackman again wrote to Carnegie, noting the university's need for a library. Trustees and friends of the university wrote to Carnegie on Blackman's behalf, including W.W. Cummer, a trustee from [[Jacksonville]] who served on the board of the city's new Carnegie Library. A letter dated 22 June 1905 and written from Carnegie's home in Scotland brought the welcome news of the offer of a library. Carnegie offered $20,000 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|20000|1905|r=0}}}} today) for the construction of a library provided that the same amount would be raised for the library's upkeep. While grateful for Carnegie's proposal, Blackman was uneasy with its terms because the amount of funding required to match Carnegie's offer would put a strain on those who had donated to start the college's endowment fund of $200,000 as well as paid a debt of $30,000 (${{formatprice|{{Inflation|US|230000|1905|r=0}}}} combined today). In correspondence to Bertram dated July 11, 1905, Blackman wrote (according to Cohen):

{{cquote|Our college is in the poorest of States [Florida], remote from all centers of wealth and population, and our friends have strained themselves to the uttermost, in the effort to raise $230,000 in two years (${{formatprice|{{Inflation|US|230000|1905|r=0}}}} today). I am by no means sure that we can meet Mr. Carnegie's conditions.}}

In a January 1906 letter Blackman wrote to Carnegie expressing concern about meeting the conditions for the gift, noting that the college had a large debt that took "considerable self-sacrifice on the part of our friends". That summer, another Florida college, [[Stetson University]], was awarded $40,000 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|40000|1906|r=0}}}} today) for a library from Carnegie. Upon learning this Blackman again wrote to Carnegie, seeking to amend the original terms of the agreement to match the amount that Stetson was awarded. He was turned down, but a year later was able to notify Carnegie that the school's trustees had been able to match the $20,000 necessary for the gift to be awarded. Bertram wrote to Blackman to inform him that Carnegie had "authorized his Cashier...to arrange payments on Library Building, as work progresses, to the extent of Twenty Thousand Dollars." (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|23000|1907|r=0}}}} today) The library, to be named Carnegie Hall, was dedicated on February 18, 1909.

The building had over 8,000 square feet of space, and was the school's first dedicated library building. It served as a library from 1909 until 1951. In addition to its function as a library, Carnegie Hall also served as the school's post office. Since the library was moved from Carnegie to the newly built Mills Memorial Library, it has also housed a bookstore, admissions office, faculty offices, and human resources office.<ref>Rollins Olin Library.

===Rollins Museum of Art===
The [[Cornell Fine Arts Museum]] is located on school grounds and contains works of art and objects from antiquity to the 21st century. The museum was built instead of what would have been the [[Ackland Art Museum]] at Rollins; millionaire and amateur art collector [[William Hayes Ackland]] (1855-1940) wanted to leave his fortune to a Southern university for an art museum and narrowed his choices to [[Duke University]], the [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill]], and Rollins, in that order.<ref name="time 1947">{{cite magazine|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,854736,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090524155830/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,854736,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 24, 2009|title = Mr. Ackland's Wills|access-date=2008-11-30|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|TIME magazine]]|date=1947-06-30}}</ref><ref name="time 1946">{{cite magazine|url = http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,776624,00.html|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070712125022/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,776624,00.html|url-status = dead|archive-date = July 12, 2007|title = Fight for a Fortune|access-date=2008-11-30|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|TIME magazine]]|date=1946-02-04}}</ref> After Ackland's death, Duke refused the request, and UNC and Rollins, excised from Ackland's final will, both brought suit to locate Ackland's museum on their campuses.<ref name="time 1947"/> In a case that went to the [[United States Supreme Court]], Ackland's trustees sided with UNC, but a lower court ruled for Rollins; a higher court finally granted the bequest to UNC.

===Annie Russell Theatre===
The [[Annie Russell Theatre]] is a historic theater in Winter Park, Florida, located on the premises of Rollins College. The theatre was named after the English-born actress Annie Russell in 1931, who taught at Rollins until she died of lung disease in 1936. It was designed by the architect Richard Kiehnel of [[Kiehnel and Elliott]].  In October 1998, it was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1998/10/31/66-year-old-rollins-theater-added-to-national-register/ |title=66-year-old Rollins Theater Added To National Register - Orlando Sentinel |publisher=Articles.orlandosentinel.com |date=1998-10-31 |access-date=2014-08-14 |archive-date=2014-08-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140814083046/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1998-10-31/news/9810310253_1_annie-russell-winter-park-russell-theatre |url-status=live}}</ref>

===Knowles Memorial Chapel===
[[File:Rollins College Knowles Chapel01.jpg|thumb|Knowles Memorial Chapel]]
The [[Knowles Memorial Chapel]] is a historic [[chapel]] on the Rollins campus. In February 1998, it was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1998-02-22/news/9802201352_1_chapel-knowles-rollins-college |title=Rollins Chapel Gets Recognition - Orlando Sentinel |publisher=Articles.orlandosentinel.com |date=1998-02-22 |access-date=2014-08-14 |archive-date=2014-08-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140814083629/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1998-02-22/news/9802201352_1_chapel-knowles-rollins-college |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1998-02-24/news/9802240274_1_chapel-register-of-historic-architectural-and-historical |title=Rollins' Knowles Chapel Gets Historic Designation - Orlando Sentinel |publisher=Articles.orlandosentinel.com |date=1998-02-24 |access-date=2014-08-14 |archive-date=2014-08-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140814084408/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1998-02-24/news/9802240274_1_chapel-register-of-historic-architectural-and-historical |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Ground was broken for the chapel on March 9, 1931, and the cornerstone was laid on May 12 of the same year. The dedication service for the chapel took place just a year later on March 29, 1932. Though founded by a Congregational Church educational committee, Rollins has no religious affiliation, so the chapel is interdenominational. A Protestant service is held on Sunday mornings, and Catholic Mass is held on Sunday evenings.<ref>{{cite web|title=Knowles Memorial Chapel - Rollins|url=http://www.rollins.edu/tour/chapel.html|access-date=2013-01-09|archive-date=2016-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304112642/http://www.rollins.edu/tour/chapel.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

A highlight of the chapel is a circular window of the [[seven liberal arts]] designed by [[Ralph Adams Cram]] and William Herbert Burnham.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lane |first=Jack C. |date=2021-08-25 |title=Guest Post - A Fusion of the Liberal Arts and Christianity: The Rose Window of Knowles Memorial Chapel |url=https://christianscholars.com/guest-post-a-fusion-of-the-liberal-arts-and-christianity-the-rose-window-of-knowles-memorial-chapel/ |access-date=2022-05-23 |website=Christian Scholar's Review |language=en-US}}</ref>

===Walk of Fame===
The Rollins Walk of Fame, which circles Mills lawn, consists of stones taken from places connected to historic people. Past college president [[Hamilton Holt]] came up with the idea in the 1920s, and based the Walk of Fame on the "ancestral walk" at his home in Connecticut.<ref name=":1">''Walk of Fame: A Rollins Legacy''. Compiled by Wenxian Zhang with David Smith and Patricia Strout. Olin Library, Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida (2003), p. 4</ref> The idea, Holt wrote, was "unique in conception and execution".<ref name=":2">Hamilton Holt, "The Walk of Fame." Winter Park, FL 1939. In ''Walk of Fame: A Rollins Legacy.''</ref>

Holt officially dedicated the Walk of Fame in October 1929, originally calling it the Memorial Path of Fame. Holt presented 22 stones, including stones from the homes of American luminaries [[George Washington]], [[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]], [[Daniel Webster]], [[Calvin Coolidge]], and [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]].<ref name=":1" /> Early additions to the Walk of Fame were predominantly American, but later additions would include stones from places associated with internationally famous figures as diverse as [[St. Augustine]], [[Humayun|Emperor Humayun]], and [[William Wordsworth]]. By 1932 the Walk of Fame had over 200 stones,<ref>"Path of Fame Has Over 200 Stones." ''The Sandspur'' April 26, 1932.</ref> many of which Holt himself had brought back to campus: the [[Charles Dickens]] stone he had picked up while visiting [[Gad's Hill Place|Gad's Hill]], and he claimed that the Mohammed stone was brought back from Mecca by a student's sister, "at the risk of fine and imprisonment".<ref name=":2" />

After Holt retired as president of the college in 1949, there no longer existed a central authority for the Walk of Fame, and over the next two decades stones began to disappear, often around graduation time; many were thrown into Lake Virginia.<ref name=":1" /> Only in the 1980s, under the presidency of [[Thaddeus Seymour]] (president from 1978 to 1990), was there an Official Lapidarian responsible for taking care of the stones.<ref name=":1" /> As of 2003, the Walk of Fame had about 530 stones, the vast majority (455) honoring men.<ref name=":1" /> Most stones are associated with specific people, but a few—like the stones from Australia and the [[Berlin Wall]]—honor places or events.

==Academics==
Rollins has three divisions that offer a variety of programs: College of Arts and Sciences; Crummer Graduate School of Business; and Hamilton Holt School.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rollins.edu/academics/index.html|title=Academics|access-date=17 August 2015}}</ref>

It's known as Fox Day, because a statue of a fox is placed on Mills Lawn (the school's main lawn), signifying the day off.<ref name=AboutFoxDay/>

The fox statue, originally accompanied with a cat statue were a gift from Senator Murray Sams in 1934 to President Hamilton Holt as he thought it would be "fittingly enshrined" at Rollins. They originally came from France, and believed to be satirical pieces, depicting, "the Populace (Cat) making his sweeping bow in hypocritical salute to the Papacy (Fox). The statues were placed on pedestals near the old Recreational Hall which is now replaced by the pool.<ref name="social.rollins.edu">{{cite web |url=http://social.rollins.edu/wpsites/libraryarchives/2012/03/22/how-the-fox-came-to-rollins/ |title=How the Fox Came to Rollins {{pipe}} From the Rollins Archives |publisher=Social.rollins.edu |date=2012-03-22 |access-date=2014-08-14 |archive-date=2019-09-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190924195205/http://social.rollins.edu/wpsites/libraryarchives/2012/03/22/how-the-fox-came-to-rollins/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>  Holt created a "Cat Society" for women and a "Fox Society" for men, these groups consisted of four people each, selected by an annual vote by the opposite gender of the student body for the opposite group.  The statues were only allowed to be touched by the respective privileged members. Occasionally, the statues were taken and hidden as practical jokes.<ref name=AboutFoxDay/> However, the cat statue had been mysteriously destroyed in 1949 with the location of the remains unknown.<ref name="social.rollins.edu"/>  Since then, the fox is hidden and only brought out for Fox Day.

During Fox Day season 2015, a petition was widely circulated to include Holt and Crummer students in the popular tradition. Currently, these students are not excused from classes, limiting their involvement in the annual festivities; furthering the disconnect between the evening and graduate students on campus. In March 2020, the campus shut down and sent students home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in no Fox Day occurrence during the 2019–2020 academic year.
