Rotary's aims briefly put, in- clude developxng friendship, serving society, enlarging inter- national understandlng. Since Harris cast his br.adl upen the waters cf friendship, it has floated far-and fast. The second club wau started in 1908 in San Francisco. A na- tional association was set up li 1910, when there were 16 clubs, and the movement b.. came international in 1912. lu 89 Countrien At latest count there were 8,400 clubs with a total of 400,. 000 members in 89 countries and territories. Canon Allan B. Shatford of the Montreal club once wrote: ",Where the spirit of rotary is, there is liberty.' Rotary Foundatien feflw- ships have been granted te 602 students in 57 countries since 1947. The grants average $2,500. Clubs around the world are planning teobsherve Rotary's 50th birthday during the perlod from Feb. 23 to June 2. Thous- ands wil attend the golden an- niversary convention in Chica- go May 29 to June 2. A4 great advexiture in friend- ship grew eut cf the. loneliness of a mani who had few close friends. The man wus Paul Harris, who iounded a fellowahip that now flourishes around , the world. It is knbwn as Rotary International. Harris, who dled li 1947. a lawyer and a bachelor when a plan for organized comraderie began te revolve in his mind 50 years age. He was a umall-town feiiow in a big city. H. had business friends but they were net so- cial friends. He wondered why they couldn't be both, and dis- cussed the problem with thre clients, aise comparative utraxi- gers in Chicage. Ensure Broad Range On the night of Feb. 23, 1905, the four met Ini a small Chicago office. Harris outlined hi, ideas for a club this way: If businessmen ceuld get te- gether periodically, they could become better acquainted a.nd, perhaps, help each other obtain more business. There would be a member for each type of business or profes- sion te ensure a broad range of friendship. It would be called the Rotary Club because the meetings would be held in rotation, in the business places et the mem- bers. Harris said later: "We found a cure for loneliness.Y But presently they found that baclç - scratching friendship wasn 't enough.
