Robert A. Fox '59 has committed $1 million toward the establishment of a Mark S. Randall Jr. Endowed Coach for Swimming and Diving position in honor of the late swimming, diving, and soccer coach. Randall, who died in February at age 93 (Scene, March 2004 ( ), was "the quintessential teacher, an inspiring leader who was able to draw out from his athletes their very best efforts," said Fox, a former swimmer at Colgate who is a top-ranked competitor in Master's events. "He was a coach, father figure, mentor, and friend in many respects. He was just a really neat guy," said Fox, a retired corporate executive who lives in Reno, Nev. An alumni trustee from 1986 to 1987, Fox previously established the Robert A. Fox Endowed Scholarship and was instrumental in the creation of the Del Monte Scholarship. His commitment covers two-thirds of the $1.5 million cost of endowing the coaching position. Since he announced his intent to commit $1 million, Craig Bollman '59, Ted Gregory '59, and Michael Wolk '60 have each made "very generous" commitments to the endowment, said Fox, bringing the total committed thus far up to $1.25 million. "We can help to maintain the ideals of a great man, a winning coach, and a lifelong friend," Fox said.
