WHAT THE ARCHITECT OF THE ROTARY FOUNDATION HAD TO SAY 

“The Rotary Foundation is not to build monuments of brick and stone. 

If we work upon marble, it will perish; 

if we work on brass, time will efface it; 

if we rear temples they will crumble into dust; 

but if we work upon immortal minds, 

if we imbue them with the full meaning of the spirit of Rotary . . . 

we are engraving on those tablets something that will brighten all eternity.” 

Arch C. Klumph, President of Rotary International, 1916-1917
