The Westcott Fountain was a gift from the Classes of 1915 and 1917. It is the most frequently photographed site on campus and a symbol of The Florida State University’s proud legacy. This fountain is also the site of one of the most enjoyable Florida State traditions: getting thrown in on your 21st birthday. This has been a long-standing tradition on campus. It’s said that you’re not truly a Florida State Seminole until you’ve been tossed into the Westcott fountain.
