The Founder of Rotary

This Rotarian Age

My Road to Rotary

(excerpts and ordering information only)

The story of Arthur Sheldon "He Profits Most Who Serves Best" and Harris' story of general secretary Ches Perry, while Perry is still on the job. Pages 95-103, the entire chapter.
95, Sheldon is disgusted with poor business practices 96, Sheldon learned that offering "service" in business would make a business more profitable 97, Harris believes that Sheldon had a higher purpose in mind, but that financial gain would allow the Rotarian to "serve" his community 98, Sheldon inspires Rotary 99, Ches Perry. Athlete, hard worker. Never knew a day when he couldn't work. 100, Guided Rotary's staff from 1910-1942. 101, an active office 102, the builder of Rotary 103

"Ches' vision has always been wide enough to comprehend the possibilities. His devotion during the score of years has made Rotary what it is. If ever one has been blessed with the capacity for singleness of purpose, it is he. Morning, noon and night; day in and day out; year in and year out --- always the same indomitable will to carry on. Be believes in the eight hour shift, but he works two of them; he believes in holidays --- one can do some many things on Saturday afternoons, Sundays, on Christmas and New Years --- so many little things that one finds difficult to reach when one's office is full of fellow workers, when there are so many callers and the telephone so frequently interrupts." Paul P. Harris, Pages 99-100 from "This Rotarian Age" 1935
