10/20/2002 “They banned dissentious subjects”
“The 1905 members of the Rotary Club of Chicago, so valued the friendship of their fellow-members that they put a ban upon religious and political discussions, fearing that they might become disturbing factors, and they were richly rewarded for their foresight. There was plenty of dynamite in questions which might have been raised; but they were not raised. The formula was very simple; it read, ‘Go about your common tasks together, avoid discussions of dissentious subjects, and your reward will be friendship.’ The formula was worthy of adoption in much wider circles.” Paul P. Harris, Page 59 from “This Rotarian Age” 1935
Now 97 years later Rotarians still follow this tradition. There are many traditions, born of inspiration that brought about one of the world’s greatest organizations. In Paul Harris’s 1935 text book on Rotary, “This Rotarian Age,” there many such examples to share with our readers. Next week, how Rotary dealt with religious differences in the early years.
And that’s a History Minute from Rotary Global History Fellowship
