Fox (28 September 1881 – 29 November 1957) was a president of Latter-day Saints University, which later became LDS Business College.
Fox began teaching at what was known as Latter-day Saints University that year, the institution that is the predecessor of LDS Business College.
Among the students who studied there while Fox was president were Gordon B. Hinckley, Russell M. Nelson, and George W. Romney.
In the 1930s, Fox wrote a long manuscript on the history of economic cooperation in the LDS Church that he was unable to get published at that time.
Fox, an economics professor at Iowa State University, was able to convince LDS Church Historian Leonard J. Arrington and Dean L. May to revise and extend the work, and it was published in 1976 as Building the City of God: Community and Cooperation Among the Mormons; a second edition was published in 1992.
