History of the fiddler crab
Regarded as the first inhabitant of Florida Presbyterian/Eckerd Collegeās campus, the fiddler crab is a symbol of strong foundations and new beginnings.
The Founding Class of 1964 was the first to receive a fiddler crab pin to mark them as members of a select and history-making community: The Golden Tritons. The fiddler crab aspect of our logo represents the strong foundation you built during your time at Eckerd and marks you as a lifelong member of the Eckerd College community. Every glimpse of a fiddler crab is a reminder of the people and place that prepared you to be a global citizen with the ability to impact your community and the world.
