Who was the longest-tenured national president of Phi Tau (1934-1959) and penned the Creed in 1950?

• A. Roland Maxwell
• B. Jack Anson
• C. Edgar E. Brandon
• D. William H. Carter

Answer: (A)

The longest-tenured national president from 1934 to 1959 is known for guiding Phi Kappa Tau through a long stretch that included the later years of the Depression, World War II, and the postwar expansion. That sustained leadership helped maintain continuity and growth across chapters nationwide. In 1950, this same president penned the Creed, establishing a formal statement of the fraternity’s beliefs and commitments that would shape its identity for years to come. The other individuals listed did not serve as national president for that extended period or are not credited with writing the Creed, so the match is the person who combined both the longest tenure and Creed authorship.
