He believed that no one could effectively lead others before they first learned how to lead themselves. He taught leadership skills through the sport of fencing and shared his knowledge freely. The Dr. Arthur Tauber Scholarship is awarded annually by former Fencing Team members of Yeshiva College to an upper classman on the Yeshiva College Fencing Team who has demonstrated upstanding character and combined academic and athletic excellence with a dedication to the values of Torah Umadda.
