Capital Funds Drive Is Announced $3,000,000 Goal Set

"Gentleman, a small group of alumni and I hereby pledge to give $1 ,000,000 as a chal­ lenge gift to the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation.'' Those were the dramatic words of Ewing T. Boles Centre '16, at a luncheon last Decem­ ber. From that statement, and the discussion that followed, came the first leadership gifts to The Decision for Phi Kappa Tau-a Decision to undertake a capital funds drive with a goal of $3,000,000 to be raised by June, 1984. As of July 28, a total of $1 ,857,175 has been pledged or given by supporting alumni and friends of the Fraternity.

The mission of Phi Kappa Tau is multi-dimensional. It begins on a college or university campus and provides for per­ sonal, academic, spiritual and leadership growth. It encompasses the sharing of common experiences and the pursuit of excellence in all things and is spawned by a setting which will positively stimulate and significantly influence its mem­ bers over the course of their lives, resulting in a life-long commit­ ment toward making certain a similar fraternal experience will be available to generations yet unborn.

Ewing T. Boles, Centre '16, is a man whose list of career accomplishments and lifetime service to Phi Kappa Tau could fill several issues of this magazine . It was Ewing Boles who, as National President in 1 91 7, persuaded the chapter to return as the Alpha chapter of the Fraternity which had just changed its name to The Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity. Since then , his non-stop loyalty to Phi Kappa Tau has helped in the impressive growth of a National Fraternity. With just 31 9 members at the time of his initiation , The Delta alumnus has seen the fraternity grow to more than 56,000 brothers living world-wide. Today, at 88 years of age , Mr. Boles continues to actively support the Fraternity as Chairman of the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation . He brings to that position more than 50 years of experience in investment banking, including his service as Chairman of the Board of the Ohio Company until his retire­ ment in 1965. Civic Affairs and Philanthropy occupy a considerable amount of Mr. Boles' time , but he is never too busy to share his quick wit and a warming sense of humor. He has earned many honors for his dedication to his Fraternity, College, and Community. Those who know and work with him are fortunate-his enthusiasm and generosity are contagious.

Paul Elfers' suntanned good looks and flashy trousers are dead giveaways that the Wisconsin graduate has a passion for golf. During the colder months of the year Brother Elfers lives with his wife in a beautiful home nestled in the mountains sur­ rounding Reno, Nevada. In the summer, however, he escapes the heavy snows of Incline Village for the breathtaking citrus region of Pauma Valley in Southern Califor­ nia. His winter retreat is more modest, but access to a beautiful Bobby Jones course across the road is enough solace. Brother Elfers was initiated in Phi Kappa Tau at the University of Wisconsin in Madison where he received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering in 1925. An active member, he was elected vice president and president of Omega chapter. He also served on the Wisconsin Interfraternity Council, was active in ROTC and competed on Phi Tau intramural teams in wrestling, basketball and baseball. A retired executive from Fisher Controls, Inc., of Marshalltown, Iowa, Mr. Elfers had a wide variety of lifetime business interests, ranging from farming and citrus groves to apparel manufacturing and investments. He has two children, and is a member of Rotary, Elks and the Congregational Church.

During the course of studying the fea­ sibility and planning for the Campaign , contact was made with many alumni around the country. When discussing the enormity of a $3,000,000 cam­ paign , the inevitable subject of justifying fraternities in 1 983 was often raised . In the spirit of the enthusiasm already shown for The Decision for Phi Kappa Tau we share here some of your fellow brothers' thoughts about fraternity . and, of course, Phi Kappa Tau .

Phi Kappa Tau provides an environ­ ment for young men to acquire social awareness . . . to become aware of situations they are going to encounter in the future . . . it develops the lead­ ership aspects of the individual.
