    Rotary Information - HISTORY OF ROTARY INTERNATIONA

    The first four Rotarians (from left): Gustavus Loehr,

    Silvester Schiele, Hiram Shorey, and Paul P. Harris,circa 1905-12.

    Paul P. Harris,an attorney, wanted to create a pro-essional group with the same friendly spirit he felt inhe small towns of his youth. On 23 February 1905,

    Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, andHiram Shorey gathered at Loehrs office in Room711 of the Unity Building in downtown Chicago. Thiswas the first Rotary club meeting. They decided to

    call the new club Rotary after the practice of rotat-ng meeting locations.

    Within five years clubs had formed across the coun-ry, from San Francisco to New York.n August 1910, Rotarians held their first conventionn Chicago. The 16 clubs that existed at that timeunited to form the National Association of RotaryClubs.

    n 1912, the name changed to International Associa-

    ion of Rotary Clubs to reflect the addition of clubs inother countries. The name Rotary International wasadopted in 1922.

    By July 1925, Rotary had grown to more than 2,000clubs and an estimated 108,000 members on sixcontinents.

    Rotarys reputation attracted presidents, prime min-

    isters, and a host of other luminaries to its ranks among them author Thomas Mann, diplomat CarlP. Romulo, and composer Jean Sibelius.

    As Rotary grew, members pooled their resources

    and used their talents to serve their communities.The organization's dedication to this ideal is best

    pressed in its motto: Service Above Self.

    Rotary Information - HISTORY OF ROTARY IN THE PHILIPPINES

    Rotary was almost fourteenyears old when Leon J.Lambert, then one of theleading businessmen of Ma-nila and president of Lam-bert Sales Co., inspired bywhat he had heard of Ro-

    tary, started to correspondwith President John Pooleof the International Associa-tion of Rotary Clubs, now

    nown as Rotary International. As a result, on January2, 1919, Lambert entertained Rotarian Roger D. Pin-eo, a member of the Rotary Club of Seattle who hadeen sent to Manila with a commission to assist in therganization of Rotary Clubs in the Far East, at a lunch-on in his home in Pasay with Messrs.

    Rotary International District 3780whichincludes all chartered Rotary Clubs within theterritory of Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philip-pineswas formally established by RotaryInternational in RY 1987-1988 (then named asR.I. District 378 under the old numbering sys-tem). District 3780 holds the distinction of be-ing the only One-City, One-District in the Ro-

    tary world.

    The Rotary Movement in Quezon City startedon April 28, 1960 under the original R.I. Dis-trict 380. At that time, District 380 was comprised of thewhole of Luzon and Palawan, with 29 Clubs under its thenfirst governor, DG Mat Caparas of RC Caloocan (Mat Ca-paras later became the first and only R.I. President fromthe Philippines).

    In RY 1968-1969 Ceferino Picache of RC Quezon City,was elected as the as first governor of the original andundivided D-380 coming from Quezon City. He was laterfollowed by DG Marcos M. Herras also of RC Quezon City,in RY 1972-1973.

    District 380 was further divided into two in RY 1976 -1977with the creation of D-382 to cover all clubs south of thePasig River, including Manila, and with the original D-380retaining governance over all clubs north of the PasigRiver, including Quezon City.

    Under the leadership of then Governor Mar Un Ocampo, D-380 was further subdivided. Thus, D-380 was made up ofMetro Manila and the northeastern provinces from Bulacanto Batanes, while D-379 (now known as D-3790) had juris-

    diction over the northwestern provincesfrom Pampanga to Ilocos Norte.

    In RY 1980-1981, Jose Agaton TonySibal became the third district governor ofD-380 who came from Quezon City. Hewas followed by DG Fernando NandingPedrosa of RC Cubao, in RY 1985-1986,

    and by DG Prospero Pros Crescini ofRC San Francisco Del Monte, in RY 19861987.

    The birth of R.I. 3780 finally came about from anothersubdivision of R.I. District 380 into three districts. To en-sure a steady and well balanced Rotary growth, the districtgovernor (of District 380) submitted a proposal for the re-grouping of the clubs in District 380 into three districts. Aballot by mail was subsequently conducted in August 1985to ascertain the opinion of the clubs about the proposedregrouping. After a majority of the clubs supported the pro-posal, it was recommended to Rotary International that theclubs in District 380 be regrouped into three districts.

    Thus, subject to the provisions of Article XIII, Section 1 ofthe By-laws of Rotary International, effective July 1, 1987,the clubs in District 380 were regrouped into three districts,namely: District 380 that covered all clubs in Metro Manilaexcept Quezon City; District 377 that included the prov-inces of Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Nueva Viscaya, Isabela,Cagayan, Ifugao, Quirino, Kalinga-Apayao and BatanesIsalnds; and District 378 for Quezon City.

    History Moment: PAUL P. HARRIS DIES; FOUNDER OF ROTARY CLUB

    Text of article from Chicago TribuneMonday 27 January 1947

    History of Rotary 101

    Paul P. Harris, founder of Rotary International, andits president emeritus, died yesterday in his home,at Comely Bank, 10896 Longwood dr. He was 79,and had been in failing health in recent years. He

    was a lawyer in private life. Mr. Harris founded Ro-tary in 1905, and since then had seen it grow froma single club with a few members in Chicago to5,638 clubs in 75 countries with more than 259,000members. A spirit of loneliness influenced Mr Har-ris in part to create the world-wide organization. Hewas born in Racine, Wis., but reared at in Vermont.He was educated at Princeton and the University ofIowa in 1891. For five years he roamed, working asa newspaper man, an actor, and a salesman. Heworked on fruit farms, and twice worked his way to

    Europe on cattle boats.

    Beginning of Rotary. In 1896, Mr. Harris settled inChicago and began the practice of law. Althoughfriendly by nature, he had few friends and he sawothers, like himself not native to the city, in similarsituation. One day in 1900 Mr. Harris had dinnerwith a lawyer friend, and later the two strolled theneighbourhood where his colleague introduced Mr.Harris to several neighbourhood merchants as hisfriends. Up to then, Mr. Harris had not made social

    friends out of his business friends, or clients. Theneighbourhood experience gave him an idea. Mr.Harris decided to organize a club of representativebusiness and professional friends in fellowship and

    friendship. Three of his clients, Silvester SchicGustavus Loehr, and Harry Ruggles joined whim. They met periodically in the old Mme. Grestaurant, often called the birthplace of Rotawhere over the dinner table they discussed plafor the club. Essence of Rotarys purpose was aisserve; high standards in business, professioand community life.

    Other clubs formed. On February 23, 1905 Rot

    was born, and was so called because its membmet in rotation at their several places of busineThe idea spread, and similar clubs were formedother cities.

    A history of the Rotary motto SERVICE ABOVE SELFRotary News 9 December 2013

    Rotarys official mottoes, Service Above SelfandOne Profits Most Who Serves Best, trace back tohe early days of the organization.

    n 1911, He Profits Most Who Serves Best was ap-

    proved as the Rotary motto at the second conven-ion of the National Association of Rotary Clubs of

    America, in Portland, Oregon. It was adapted from aspeech made by Rotarian Arthur Frederick Sheldono the first convention, held in Chicago the previous

    year. Sheldon declared that "only the science ofright conduct toward others pays. Business is thescience of human services. He profits most whoserves his fellows best."

    The Portland convention also inspired the motto

    Service Above Self. During a convention outing onhe Columbia River, Ben Collins, president of the

    Rotary Club of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, talkedwith Seattle Rotarian J.E. Pinkham about the proper

    way to organize a Rotary club, offering the principhis club had adopted: Service, Not Self. Pinkhaminvited Paul P. Harris, who also was on the boat trto join their conversation. Harris asked Collins toaddress the convention, and the phrase Service,

    Not Self was met with great enthusiasm.

    At the 1950 RI Convention in Detroit, slightly modfied versions of the two slogans were formally ap-proved as the official mottoes of Rotary: He ProfitsMost Who Serves Best, and Service Above Self.

    The 1989 Council on Legislationestablished Ser-vice Above Selfas the principal motto of Rotary,because it best conveys the philosophy of unselfisvolunteer service. He Profits Most Who Serves Be

    was modified by the 2004 Council to They ProfitMost Who Serve Best and by the 2010 Council to current wording, One Profits Most Who ServesBest.

    A history of THE FOUR WAY TESTFrom the Archives of Rotary Global History Fellowship

    A Story Behind

    THE FOUR WAY TEST

    By Darrel Thompson

    More than 60 years ago, in the midst of theGreat Depression, a U.S. Rotarian devised asimple, four-part ethical guideline that helpedhim rescue a beleaguered business. Thestatement and the principles it embodiedalso helped many others find their own ethi-cal compass. Soon embraced and popular-zed by Rotary International, The Four-WayTest today stands as one of the organiza-tion's hallmarks.

    Herbert J. Taylor, author of the Test, was amover, a doer, a consummate salesman anda leader of men. He was a man of action,faith and high moral principle. Born in Michi-gan, USA, in 1893, he worked his waythrough Northwestern University in Evans-ton, Illinois.

    After graduation, Herb went to France on amission for the YMCA and the British Armywelfare service and served in the U.S. NavySupply Corps in World War I. In 1919, hemarried Gloria Forbrich, and the couple setup housekeeping in Oklahoma, USA, where

    he worked for the Sinclair Oil Company. Aftera year, he resigned and went into insurance,real estate and oil lease brokerage.

    With some prosperous years behind him,Herb returned to Chicago, Illinois, in 1925and began a swift rise within the Jewel TeaCompany. He soon joined the Rotary Club ofChicago. In line for the presidency of Jeweln 1932, Herb was asked to help revive thenear-bankrupt Club Aluminum Company ofChicago. The cookware manufacturing com-pany owed $400,000 more than its total as-sets and was barely staying afloat. Herb re-

    sponded to the challenge and decided to

    cast his lot with this troubled firm. He re-signed from Jewel Tea, taking an 80 percentpay cut to become president of Club Alumi-num. He even invested $6,100 of his ownmoney in the company to give it some oper-ating capital.

    Looking for a way to resuscitate the com-pany and caught in the Depression's dol-drums, Herb, deeply religious, prayed forinspiration to craft a short measuring stick ofethics for the staff to use.

    As he thought about an ethical guideline forthe company, he first wrote a statement ofabout 100 words but decided that it was toolong. He continued to work, reducing it toseven points. In fact, The Four-Way Testwas once a Seven-Way Test. It was still toolong, and he finally reduced it to the foursearching questions that comprise the Testtoday.

    And so, "The Four-Way Test of the things wethink, say or do" was born:

    Is it the TRUTH?Is it FAIR to all Concerned?

    Will it build GOODWILL and BETTERFRIENDSHIPS?

    Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned

    Profound in its simplicity, the Test becathe basis for decisions large and smaClub Aluminum.

    At Club Aluminum in the 1930s, everythinwas measured against The Four-Way TeFirst, the staff applied it to advertising. Wolike "better," "best," "greatest" or "finest"were dropped from ads and replaced by ftual descriptions of the product. Negativecomments about competitors were removfrom advertising and company literature.

    In 1942, Richard Vernor of Chicago, thendirector of Rotary International, suggestedthat Rotary adopt the Test. The R.I. Boardapproved his proposal in January 1943 anmade The Four-Way Test a component othe Vocational Service program, althoughtoday it is considered a vital element in alAvenues of Service .

    Herb Taylor transferred the copyright to Rtary International when he served as R.I.president in 1954-55.

    If Paul Harris started Rotary todayPosted by Rotary International on Rotary Voices, 19 February 2016

    By Evan Burrell

    wonder, as we approach yet another Rotaryanniversary, what Paul Harris would think of theRotary of today? Would he smile, or grimace?

    He probably didnt imagine how far his little ideawould go when he sat down for thatfirst meet-ngon 23 February a full 111 years ago.

    As a fun exercise, I tried to imagine what itmight be like if Paul Harris started Rotary today.To do this, I first imagined what a Gen Y Paulmight be like.

    decided hed be a social entrepreneur and blogger.His personal style is a touch metro, add some emo,

    and just a squeeze of hipster. He lives a healthy life-style, eats organic and gluten free. He is warm andwelcoming, with a hearty laugh, and certainly does-nt need a copy of How to Win Friends & InfluencePeople. He has 500 plus connections on LinkedIn.

    What does his Rotary club look like?The club is very inclusive with its membership. Theywork hard to attract individuals of all genders, races,beliefs, and backgrounds. They are very particularabout not incorporating any practices that would be

    offensive to any particular group. They dont takepolitical stands, but they are eager, collectively, todive into action to better their community.

    The club uses Facebook, LinkedIn, and social me-dia a lot to connect, not only socially but for serviceprojects. They use Kickstarter and GoFundMe tofinance projects, and have developed some Rotary-specific tools (like our Rotary Ideas)to also achievethis goal.

    Club meetingsThe club meets in person and online on a semi rota-tional basis, usually once or twice a month depend-ng on the needs to be addressed. The club is moreabout how members can contribute their talents andtake part in projects getting their hands dirty, thanhow many times they show up for a meeting.

    Members communicate almost daily through Face-book or Snapchat. Word about what they are doing

    seeps out through their social media network offriends, co-workers, and colleagues, spreading thexcitement and attracting interest.

    Their physical meeting locations vary, sometimesa tavern, sometimes a coffee house. They are kepaffordable so members can focus their resourcesand time on service. Meetings tend to be relaxed,and some people connect remotely via web tech-nologies.

    Social hourThe club hosts regular social events to buildstronger relationships between members. Membe

    frequently invite friends with little pressure on theindividual to join. Even service projects involve agood number of people who are not members, bushare a common interest.

    Although Ive just been imagining, there are cer-tainly clubs that do some of these things. Do youlike my vision of what Paul Harris club would looklike today? What is yours?
