Putting the golden rule to work
in business and professional every
day life is the way Rotarians from
every section of the world stated
the object of the Internationa
Association of Rotary Clubs, the
annual convention of which was
held in Los Angeles last and which
DIR. Geo, T. Ayres attended.
The sole business of Rotary i:
to make the principle of service te
the community as well as to The
individual the object of all Rotari
ans. For this purpose each Rot
arian has subscribed to what il
known as the Rotary Code of Ethics
and is striving to put this code
into effect in his own business anc
to bring about the adoption OF
similar codes in all business asso,
Citations.
The Rotarian states that his Code
of Ethics provides:
First: To consider my vocation
worthy, and as affording me dis.
tinct opportunity to serve society
Second: To improve myself. in
crease my efficiency and enlarge
my service, and by so doing attest
my faith in the fundamental prin.
ciple of Rotary that he profits most
who serves best.
Third: To realize that / am 8
business man and ambitious to sue.
coed; but that am first an ethical
man, aud wish no success that is
not founded on the highest justice
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 par.
ties in the exchange are benefited
thereby.
Fifth: To use my best endeav.
ors to elevate the standards of the
vocation in which | am engaged
and so to conduct my affairs that
others in my vocation may find il
wise, profitable and conductive to
happiness to emulate my example
Sixth: To conduct my business
in such a manner thai l may give
perfect service equal to or even
better than my competitor. and
when in doubt to give added ser.
vice beyond the strict measure of
debt or obligation.
Seventh: To understand that
one of the greatest assets Of a pro-
fessional or a business man is his
friends and that any advantage
gained by reason of friendship is
eminently ethical and proper.
Eighth: To hold that true
friends demand nothing of one an
other and that any abuse of the
condolences of friendship for pro.
fit is foreign to the spirit of Rotary
and in violation of its Code Of
Ethics.
ninth: To consider no personal
success legitimate or ethical which
is secured by taking unfair advant-
age of certain opportunities in the
social order that are absolutely de,
MED others nor will I take ad.
vantage of opportunities to achieve
material sucness that others will
not take because of the question.
able morality involved.
Tenth: To be not more obligat.
ed to a Brother Rotarian than
am to every other man in human
society; because the genius of Rot.
airy is not in its competition but in
its cooperation; for provincialsm
can never have a place in an ins.i
tuition like Rotary, and Rotarians
assert that Human Rights are not
confined to Rotary Clubs blu. are
as deep and as broad as the race
itself; and for these high purposes
does Rotary exist to educate al
men and all institutions.
Eleventh. Finally, believing in
the universally of the Golden Rule
All things whatsoever We would
that men should do unto you, dc
we even so unto them, we contend
that Society best holds together
when equal opportunity is accorded
all men in The natural resources OF
this planet"
