He served on many charitable boards such as the Ernest L. Ransome, III Scholarship Programme at the University of Saint Andrews, Scotland. He began his own endowment, named for his mother Ethel Leona Plowden McElveen, for a Scottish resident to attend the university. More recently, through efforts of the University, friends and family, a scholarship for a North or South Carolina resident to attend the University has been created in his name. He was extremely active with the USGA serving as a member of the Library and Museum committee. Mr. McElveen is survived by his wife Mary Olliff McElveen and their children.
