What Arch Klumph Said…

“There are tens of thousands of Rotarians who will look upon this opportunity (to build the Rotary Foundation) as a real privilege, men who feel that Rotary has done much for them, who sincerely believe in its purposes and objects. Then there are other men who are seeking ways and means of leaving some part of their wealth where it may do the greatest good for humanity.

What better equipped organization or institution than Rotary International can be found to be entrusted with such funds?”

What Paul Harris Said…

“There is a growing number of men (and women), however, who possess sufficient character to enable them to master their own destinies, to turn abruptly in their tracks when the time comes to give up the pursuit of the almighty dollar and devote themselves to their second business: attention to the world’s needs. The larger this number becomes the easier it will be for others to follow. The progress of civilization depends upon these men (and women) of character.”
