Fleming is one of eight student Houses.
The 1.3-ton cannon that sits in front of Fleming House is a relic of the Franco-Prussian War, and is on loan from Southwestern Academy in San Marino. A harmless—but noisy—charge is fired to celebrate such occasions as commencement or the last day of the academic term.
The building is part of the undergraduate housing complex that was built in 1931 and renovated in 2007 with the support of donors including alumni Alexander Lidow, Richard Beatty, and Ray Sidney. Fleming House was originally built with funds provided by some 20 donors and was named in honor of Arthur H. Fleming, who served as president of the Board of Trustees from 1917 to 1933.
