MHF A. Langston Taylor (Pictured in middle) was a tall, lanky lad from Memphis, TN; easy going but tireless. His eyes were set deep in a brown skin face that showed a squared chin and prominent ears. His speech was pleasant; his oratory stirring. One of the greatest names in Sigma, MHF Taylor was the spark that lighted the Sigma flame among the three. More than any other he is responsible for the growth of the Fraternity - especially in the earlier years. He has been National Pres., Secretary, Treas., Field Secy., and President of the Distinguished Service Chapter. MHF Taylor was an Elk and a 33^rd degree Mason. His triumphant life came to an end August 8, 1953.

He was the third member of the "Great Three" who founded Phi Beta Sigma. MHF Brown entered Howard University in 1907 graduating in 1914.
