William L. McKnight was an American businessman and philanthropist who served his entire career in the 3M corporation, rising to chairman of the board from 1949 to 1966, he founded the McKnight Foundation in 1953. William L. McKnight was the third child born to homesteaders Joseph and Cordelia McKnight, who left the East in 1880 to claim a homestead in South Dakota. William was born in the family's sod house in South Dakota. McKnight attended Duluth Business University, after attending school for only 4 months of the 6 month program, began working for 3M Corporation as an Assistant Bookkeeper in May 1907, at a salary of $11.55 per week. McKnight began to understand the dire financial situation of 3M, his ideas for making better products and cutting costs gained the admiration of the general manager, who promoted McKnight to cost accountant. Two years after that, he was placed in charge of the company's Chicago office. In 1914, McKnight was promoted to general manager of 3M, moved to the company's headquarters in St. Paul.

In June 1916 McKnight became 3M's vice president at age 29. Soon afterwards, Edgar Ober, the company's President, became ill, leaving McKnight running 3M - he became president in August 1929, he served as president until 1949, as chairman of the board from 1949–1966, as honorary chairman of the board until 1972. McKnight's business sense and emphasis on research and development helped bring 3M back from the brink of bankruptcy and turn it into the large, multinational corporation. McKnight was inducted into the Junior Achievement U. S. Business Hall of Fame in 1995. McKnight encouraged 3M management to delegate responsibility and encourage men and women to exercise their initiative and his management theories are still the guiding principles for 3M. Many believe McKnight's greatest contribution was as a business philosopher, since he created a corporate culture that encourages employee initiative and innovation, his basic rule of management was laid out in 1948: As our business grows, it becomes necessary to delegate responsibility and to encourage men and women to exercise their initiative.

This requires considerable tolerance. Those men and women, to whom we delegate authority and responsibility, if they are good people, are going to want to do their jobs in their own way. Mistakes will be made, but if a person is right, the mistakes he or she makes are not as serious in the long run as the mistakes management will make if it undertakes to tell those in authority how they must do their jobs. Management, destructively critical when mistakes are made kills initiative, and it's essential. The McKnight Foundation was established in Minneapolis in 1953 by William L. McKnight and his wife, Maude L. McKnight. One of the early leaders of 3M, William L. McKnight rose from assistant bookkeeper to president and CEO in a career that spanned 59 years, from 1907 to 1966; the McKnight Foundation, however, is an independent private philanthropic organization. In 1974, shortly after his wife's death, William L. McKnight asked their only child, Virginia McKnight Binger, to lead the Foundation. Working with Russell Ewald as executive director, Mrs. Binger established the formal grantmaking program and community-based approach that remain the Foundation's legacy today.

In 2009, Robert J. Struyk was elected chair of the board of directors, succeeding Erika L. Binger and becoming the Foundation's fifth chair since it was established in 1953. McKnight married in 1915 and had one daughter, Virginia McKnight Binger, who married James H. Binger. William McKnight was a fan of Thoroughbred horse racing and owned Tartan Farm, a breeding operation near Ocala, Florida, he raced under the name Tartan Stable. Among his most noted horses were the Eclipse Award winners Dr. Fager, Ta Wee, Dr. Patches, the sire Intentionally.

The Elon Phoenix is the name given to several sports teams of Elon University, located in Elon, North Carolina. The university is a member of the Colonial Athletic Association and competes in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision, fielding 17 varsity teams in 11 sports. All of Elon's varsity teams compete in sports sponsored by the CAA. Elon moved to the Colonial Athletic Association on July 1, 2014; the turn of the century saw. The school's first intercollegiate athletic event came in 1900 when the school played two baseball games against Guilford College in a home-and-home series and the first gymnasium was built in 1905. Football began play in 1909, while men's basketball followed in 1911. In 1921, the team was first called the Fightin' Christians; the moniker is said to have been coined by a sportswriter covering a contest between Elon and nearby Guilford College, a Quaker school. The school became a charter member of the North State Conference in 1930 and remained a member of the conference and its successors until departing for the South Atlantic Conference in 1989.

The Fightin' Christians saw great success in the North State Conference, winning numerous conference titles and national championships. The football team won NAIA national titles in 1980 and 1981 under Coach Jerry Tolley, named national coach of the year for the 1980 season. Both titles were won in championship games played on Elon's home field in neighboring Burlington, North Carolina; the men's golf team and men's tennis teams claimed NAIA national championships in 1982 and 1990, respectively. Women's sports became a part of the Elon athletic department in the early 1970s, as legendary coach Kay Yow began her college coaching career by guiding the first-ever women's basketball and women's volleyball teams at Elon. Softball was added in 1977, while women's tennis began play in 1979. Six other women's teams have been added in the years since, including soccer, cross country, indoor track, outdoor track and lacrosse. In 1993, the South Atlantic Conference and its members moved from NAIA competition to NCAA Division II, where Elon would remain through the 1996–1997 season.

In 1997, Elon began the transition into NCAA Division I, becoming a full member in 1999. Division I membership meant Elon joined the Big South Conference; the women's soccer team earned the school's first NCAA Division I tournament berth by winning the Big South tournament in the fall of 1999. Still known as the Fightin' Christians at the time, many did not feel that the nickname was universal enough for a team making the transition to Division I athletics. In 2000, Elon College changed its mascot to the Phoenix; the choice refers to a 1923 fire. Soon after the fire, the university trustees began planning to make Elon "rise from the ashes"; the Phoenix was a mythical creature. At the beginning of the 2001–02 season, the school was renamed Elon University to better reflect growing educational options. Change was not far behind in athletics as the Phoenix became members of the Southern Conference beginning in 2003. Elon's sports facilities include the Schar Center, Alumni Gym, Walter C. Latham Park, Rhodes Stadium, the on-campus football stadium, Alumni Field House, Koury Field House, Rudd Field, Hunt Softball Park, Jimmy Powell Tennis Center, the Jeanne and Jerry Robertson Track and Field Complex, Rudd Field and the Worseley Golf Center.

Schar Center, the replacement for Alumni Gym as the home of Phoenix men's basketball, women's basketball and volleyball, opened on August 28, 2018 with a volleyball match against North Carolina A&T. Official website
