Idea Was Conceived by Paul p.
Harris, an Attorney in the
City of Chicago.

Seventeen years ago, Paul r. Harris,
an attorney in the City of Chicago.
was tOrmented with an unmitigated
obsession to achieve something OF ben
eft to humanity. The lonesomeness
OF the large city. the dull routine of
business. and the earnest desire to en-
large his circle OF acquaintance then
spurred him into decisive action lie
invited three friends to his office-a
coal dealer, a mining operator. and a
merchant tailor-to whom he deliber-
ately elucidated his idea of forming
a club, a unique club, that would be
wholly different from any other ex-
listing organization; a club that would
promulgate the spirit of service, make
business men better business men. de-
velop a wide acauaintanceship, and af-
ford its members an opportunity to
serve society.
This meeting occurred on February
23, 1905, and was the actual arrival of
baby Rotary into a world that received
her with open arms. Members con-
sisted of one man from each business
or profession, who met in rotation at
their places of business to discuss var
ious questions that might arise from
time to time, and to offer suggestions
concerning the welfare of the commu-
nifty. In order to strengthen fellow
ship, it was unanimously agreed that
each member should call the other by
his first name or by his nick name
Membership in the Chicago Rotary
Club increased very rapidly and just
three years after it's inception, the
-,
San Francisco. The worthy movement
spread along the Pacific Coast, crossed
the continent. and crept north and
south on the Atlantic Coast. At the
close of the year 1910, sixteen clubs
had been organized in the United
States.
The initial convention of Rotary
Clubs was held in Chicago in 1910. The
National association was formed
at this convention. But two years
later at the Duluth convention in 1912,
Rotary evolved from a national or
ganization to an international organi-
cation.
RotarySh grown more rapidly since
1912 than during the first seven years.
Today there are more than one thous-
and Rotary Clubs in the world with
approximately eighty thousand MEM
bers. Although the greater number
are in the United States, the land of
its birth, there are now Rotary Clubs
in Canada, Newfoundland, Mexico,
Great Britain, Spain. France, Africa.

India, Australia. New Zealand, the
Islands and many other

Susannah, too, was the daughters of cousins, Josia and Sarah Wedgwood. makers of the famous pottery that bears the famiiys name. From childhood she had promised to marry her cousin. Robert Darwin. They grew up to love each other dearly and their marriage, for It's all too brief duration, was exceed ingly happy.
 It was upon Charles, her youngest child, that the concentration of Susannah Darwin's love was iavished. And 1t was from that the boy, who was destined to become one of the greatest figures in world history, in- herited his qualities of gentleness, in- sight, purity of purpose, patience and persistency. He was only eight years old when she died. but her lovely image stayed with him all the days of his life and he was guided by what he thought she wanted him to do.
