Phillips University was a private higher education institution founded in 1907 in Enid, Oklahoma by Dr. Ely Vaughn Zollars. It operated for much of the 20th century, emphasizing aspects of spiritual, intellectual, physical development and social interaction as part of its educational approach. The university closed in 1998, and its legacy is now carried forward by two surviving organizations: the Phillips University Legacy Foundation and the Phillips University Alumni and Friends Association, which preserve heritage and support former students. The Legacy Foundation provides student leadership development and scholarship support while fostering connections among alumni. The Alumni and Friends Association represents alumni and supporters, aiming to preserve and perpetuate Phillips University's heritage. Both groups are based in Enid, Oklahoma, and maintain online presences at pulf.org and phillipsalum.org.
