Angq today it’s Rotary Internation- al. It’s the organization with which all Rotary clubs throughout the world are affiliated. Its an organiz- {ation of 1420 subsidiary clubs, with approximately 90,000 members in 26 countries. Delegates from all these nations are gathering in St. Louis for their annua] world meeting, June 18-22. coming. The lawyer-founder of Rotary is Paul P. Harris, professor emeritus of Rotary International. Born in Ver~ ment, he went west after leaving Princeton University. He was ad- mitted to the bar in Iowa in 1891. But he wasn't ready to start practice then. For five years he worked nearly all over the world. He was a reporter on daily papers in San Francisco and Denver, and rode the range in the cow country. Then he picked or- anges in southern Louisiana, sold marble and granite, crossed the At- lantic twice on cattle ships and made a third trip to Europe later. In 1896 he hung out his shingle in Chicago. He had neither relatives jnor friends there. But he consid- ered Chicago the city of destiny— the city wherein many social and in- dustrial problems could be solved. Many Speakers Harris wilt be the leading at the convention.
