4 PAUL P. HARRIS The Founder of Rotary ( ) Paul P. Harris, a lawyer, was the founder of Rotary, the world s first and most international service club. Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide to provide humanitarian service, promote high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Born in Racine, Wisconsin on 19 April 1868, Paul was the second of six children born to George N. Harris and Cornelia Brian Harris. At age 3 he moved to Wallingford, Vermont where he grew up in the care of his paternal grandparents. Married to Jean Thomas Harris ( ), they had no children. He received an LL.B. from the University of Iowa and received an honorary LL.D. from the University of Vermont. In 1896, he went to Chicago to practice law. One evening Paul went with a professional friend to his suburban home. After dinner, as they strolled through the neighborhood, Paul s friend introduced him to various tradesmen in their stores. This reminded Paul of his New England village and it occurred to him, Why not have a fellowship composed of businessmen from different occupations, without restrictions of politics or religion? On 23 February 1905, Paul Harris formed the first Rotary Club with three other businessmen: Silvester Schiele, a coal merchant, Gustavus Loehr, a mining engineer, and Hiram Shorey, a merchant tailor. Paul Harris named the new club Rotary because members met in rotation at their various places of business. When Paul Harris became president of the club in its third year, he was convinced that the Rotary club could be developed into an important service movement and strove to extend Rotary to other cities. When President emeritus Paul Harris passed away on 27 January 1947, his dream had grown from an informal meeting of four men to some 6,000 Rotary clubs developed for the purpose of service and fellowship. 4

5 RON BURTON Rotary International President Ron D. Burton is a member of the Rotary Club of Norman, Oklahoma, USA Burton retired as president of the University of Oklahoma Foundation Inc. in He is a member of the American Bar Association, as well as the bar associations of Cleveland County and the state of Oklahoma.

Active in his community, Burton is a founder and past president of the Norman Public School Foundation, and founder and past board member of the Norman Community Foundation. A recipient of the Silver Beaver Award, he is a past vice president of the Last Frontier Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Burton believes that Rotary's promotion of high ethical standards is one of the qualities that sets it apart from other organizations. "It assures those dealing with us that we can be trusted," he says. "Most of us are in a business or profession that already has a code of ethics. Vocational service in Rotary just adds to that responsibility. We have an obligation to go above and beyond to make sure that all our actions are above reproach." A Rotarian since 1979, Burton is vice chair of the Future Vision Committee and a member of the Polio Eradication Advocacy Task Force for the United States. He has served RI as director; Rotary Foundation trustee and trustee vice chair; International Assembly moderator, assistant moderator, and group discussion leader; and district governor.

11 The Object of Rotary The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: 1 FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; 2 SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society; 3 THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life; 4 FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. The Four-Way Test From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the world s most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is The Four-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as RI President in 1955). Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The Four-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks the following four questions: Of the things we think, say or do: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? 11
