ROTARIANS
The Rotary Club of Ethics it:
My business standards shall have
in them a note of sympathy for our
common humanity. JVly business
healings, ambitions, and relations
shall always cause me to take into
consideration my highest duties as
a member of society. In ever posi
tion in busines life, in every re
sponsibility that comes before me,
my chief thought shall be to fill
that responsibility and discharge that
duty so when 1 have ended each
of them, I shall have lifted the
level of human ideals and achieve
ments a little higher than I found
it. As a Rotarian it is my duty:
FIRST: To consider my vocation
worthy, and as affording me distinct
opportunity to serve society.
SECOND: To improve myself, in
crease my efficiency and enlarge my
service, and by so doing* attest my
faith in th(» fundamental principle
of Rotary, that he profits most who
serves best.
THIRD: To realize that 1 am a
business man and ambitious to suc
ceed; but that I am first an ethical
man, and wish no success that is
not founded on the highest justi :*e
and morality.
FOURTH: To hold that the ex
change of my goods, my service and
my ideas for profit is legitimate and
ethical, provided that all parties
in the exchange are belief itted
thereby.
FIFTH: To use my best endeavors
to elevate the standards of the voca
tion in which I am engaged, and
so to conduct my affairs that others
in my vocation may find it wise
profitable and conducive to happi
ness to emulate my example.
SIXTH: To conduct my bu rners
in such a manner that I may give
a perfect service equal or even bet
ter than my competitor, and when
in doubt to give added service be
yond the strict measure of debt or
obligation.
SEVENTH: To understand that
one of the greatest assets of a
profession or of a business man is
his friends, and that any advantage
gained by reason of friendship is
eminently ethical and proper.
EIGHT: To hold that true friends
demand nothing of one another, and
that any abuse of the confidence
of friendship for profit is foreign
to the spirit of the Rotary, and in
violation of the Code of Ethics.
NINTH: To consider no personal
success legitimate or ethical which
is secured by taking unfair advan
tage of certain opportunities in the
social order that are absolutely de
nied others, nor will I take advan
tage of opportunities to achieve
material success that others will
not take because of the questionable
morality involved.
TENTH: To be not more obli
gated to a Brother Rotarian than 1
am to every other man in human
society; because the genius of rotary
is not in competition but in co
operation; for provincialism can
never have a place in an institu
tion like Rotary, and Rotarians
assert that human rights are not
confined to Rotary Clubs but are
as deep and broad as the race
itself and foe these high purposes
does Rotary exist to educate all
men and all institutions.
FLFVRNTH: Finally, believing in
the universality of the Golden Rule
—All things whatsoever ye would
that men should do unto you, do
ye even so unto them — we contend
that Society holds together when
equal oppotunity is accorded all
men in the natural resources of
this planet.
Limited Membership
In limiting1 the membership of
each Rotary Club to but one man
from each distinct line of business
or profession in the community, the
intention is that each business and
profession shall have one worthy
and active exponent in the Rotary
Club and that the Rotary Club
through its membership shall
have one direct and responsible
avenue of appoach to all those en
gaged in each business and profes
sion in the community.
A Rotary Club is a group of
representative business and profes
sional men, one man from each
distinct business or profession in a
community, who? without secret vow,
dogma or creed, but each in his
his own way have accepted the
Rotary philosophy of service. And
have organized to study the theory
of service as the true basis of
success and happiness in business.
As individuals, each is endeavoring
to translate this theory into prac
tice in business and everyday life
and, individually, and as a club,
by active precept and example, to
stimulate its acceptance both in
theory and practice by all non
Rotarians as well as by all Ro
tarians.
