who serves best.
Third: To realize that | am a
business man and ambitious to sue
coed: bet that am first an ethical
man. and 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 legiti-
mate and ethical, provided that all
parties in the exchange are bcne-
flied thereby.
Fifth: To use my best endeav-
ors 10 elevate the standards Of the
vocation in which l am engaged,
and so 10 conduct my affairs that
others in my vocation may find il
wise, profitable and conducive to
happiness TO emulate my example
Sixth: To conduct my business
in such a manner that ] may give
q perfect service equal 10 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 pro-
fessional or Of a business man is his
friends and that any advantage
gained by reason Of friendship is
Eighth: To hold that true friends
demand nothing, of one another
and that any abuse Of the conf
dences Of friendship for profit 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 advan-
tage Of certain opportunities in the
social order that are absolutely de-
MED others, nor will 1 take ad-
vantage Of opportunities to achieve
material success that others will
not take because Of the question

ed to a Brother Rotarian than I
am TO every other man in human
society: because the genius Of Ro-
tary is not in its competition, but
in its cooperation; for provincial
ism can never have a place in an
institution like Rotary, and Ko-
tarians assert that human rights
are not confined TO Rotary clubs,
but are as deep and broad as the
race itself; and for these high pur-
poses does Rotary exist to educate
all men and all institutions.
Eleventh: Finally, believing in
the universally 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 best holds together
when equal opportunity is ac-
corded all men in the natural re-
sources Of this planet.

Swedish Students are Pleased
With Our Colleges.
Na3s

Stockholm. March 1S.-Swedish
students and scholars who have
been enabled by scholarships TO
pursue post graduate work IN
America have found much TO ad-
miro in American universities and
colleges and are telling their folks
at home about it when they return
or in letters.
American university life seems TO
have captured their goodwill
while American scholarship as
represented in the larger universi-
ties has evoked their praise.
What has COMPLETELY won Swed-
ish scholars, they say, IS the liberal
spiri, and generosity Of American
colleges in enabling the Swedish
visitors to prolons their stay by
additional scholarship grants.
Reports by these students and
scholars are receiving wide publ
cation in Swedish newspapers. They
are winners Of scholarships given
by the Sweden-America Founda-
ton. which since 1913 has afford
cd about - Of them opportunities
to study in various American edu-
cational institutions. In return the
America n-Scandinavian FOunda
ton Of New York City has present
ed scholarships TO about 80 Amerl-
can students for study in Swedish
universities.
Indications are seen here that
this exchange OF students is q
potent influence for the promotion
Of international friendship.
Some Of the Swedish students
took their po t-gra u te
courses in American banking and
industrial houses in order TO study
American business and CONNER
cial methods. One Of these report
ed that he tound the large New
York bank where he spent more
than year TO be marvelously or
saniZed and operated.
Swedish students who studied at
Columbia University. Smith Col
lese, Harvard and Yale pay rrib-
utes to those institutions or their
instructors.
The Swedish students are unani-
nous in saying that they We're as
tonished at the ease with which
the average American college stu
dent expressed his thoughts. They
attribute this fluency TO their
training in debating clubs in dis
cussing social and political queS-
tionS.
American students in Sweden al
so express their qualification at the
high standard of scholarships in
such universities as Upsala. Lund
