Historic Moments: Rotary's emblemBy Susan Hanf and Joe DerrRotary International News -- 17 August 2010

The Rotary emblem, unchanged since 1924, was redesigned many times in the early years of the organization.

In 1905, Montague M. Bear, an engraver and member of the Rotary Club of Chicago, sketched a wagon wheel with13 spokes. When fellow club members began to complain that the design was static and lifeless, Bear added flour-ishes that made the wheel appear to ride on a bed of clouds. Unfortunately, some members felt the clouds lookedlike dust, defying the laws of gravity by being kicked up on both sides of the wheel.

Bear responded by superimposing a banner with the words Rotary Club over the clouds.In 1911, Secretary Chesley R. Perry recommended that action be taken by the National Association to establish thewheel as the basic part of the emblem of every Rotary club. Clubs were invited to submit designs to an emblemcommittee before the 1912 convention in Duluth, Minnesota.

The Duluth convention provided some definition. The emblem consists of the basic principle of a wheel with gearscut on the outer edge. The spokes are to be so designed as to indicate strength; the object of the gears beingtwofold; to relieve the plainness of the design, and symbolize power. The word Rotary appeared at the top andInternational Association at the bottom. Clubs were encouraged to use a similar design, placing the name of theircity at the bottom in place of International Association. The number of spokes and cogs was unspecified.

As a result, numerous variations on the emblem were in use by 1918. The Board appointed Charles Mackintosh, ofthe Rotary Club of Chicago, and Oscar Bjorge, of the Rotary Club of Duluth, to the Special Committee to Standard-ize the Rotary Emblem.

Bjorge drafted an emblem with six spokes and 24 cogs, giving it a sturdy appearance. In this design, the number ofteeth and spokes was intended to reflect a real, working gearwheel, and not any aspect of Rotary's history.

In November 1919, the Board adopted Bjorges design and a detailed description, and the 1921 convention formallyapproved them. For many years, descriptions of the emblem simply referred to a 1920 article in The Rotarian,Redesigning the Rotary Wheel, which announced the Boards decision.

By 1924, Bjorges design had been modified to include a keyway. This addition has been attributed to Will R. Forker,of the Rotary Club of Los Angeles. He was reported to have said Bjorges design made no provision for the transfer

of power to or from a shaft, rendering the wheel idle. Forker perceived Rotary as a living force, and inserting a key-way into the hub made the new wheel a real worker.

In January 1924, the Board formally approved the emblem that was then in use. Not all written descriptions wereupdated immediately, however. To clear up any confusion caused by the various decisions about the emblem be-tween 1912 and 1929, a standard description of the existing design, with a keyway, was approved by the 1929 con-vention.

The Rotary emblem, like Rotarys name and other logos, is a registered trademark. Clubs, districts, and Rotary Enti-ties are welcome to use the Rotary emblem subject to the guidelines for the use of the Rotary Marks as set forth bythe RI Board of Directors. These guidelines govern the use of the Rotary Marks on all merchandise, promotionalmaterials, and publications, including domain names and websites..

Overview of Rotary International's leadership structure

Clubs

Rotarians are members of more than 32,000 Rotary clubs, which belong to the global associa-tion of Rotary International (RI). Each club elects its own officers and enjoys considerableautonomy within the framework of Rotarys constitution and bylaws.

Districts

Clubs are grouped into approximately 530 RI districts, each led by a district governor, who is anRI officer and leads about 50 clubs. The district administration, including assistant governorsand various committees, guides and supports the clubs. There are ten RI districts in the Philip-pines. The RC Holy Spirit belongs to RI District 3780 which has at present 97 clubs.

The RI Board

The 19-member RI Board of Directors , which includes the RI president and president-elect,meets quarterly to establish policies. Traditionally, the RI president, who is elected annually,develops a theme and emphasis for the year.

The Secretariat

RI is headquartered in Evanston, Illinois, USA, with seven international offices in Argentina,

Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, Korea, and Switzerland. The office of Rotary International inGreat Britain and Ireland (RIBI), located in England, serves clubs and districts in that region.

The Secretariats active managing officer is the general secretary, who heads a 650 -memberstaff working to serve Rotarians worldwide.

Council on Legislation

The Council on Legislation, Rotarys parliament, meets every three years to deliberate and actupon all proposed enactments and resolutions submitted by clubs, district conferences, the

RIBI Conference or General Council, and the RI Board. The Council itself also makes propos-als.

The Trustees of The Rotary Foundation

The 15 directors of The Rotary Foundation are appointed by the RI president, with the agree-ment of the RI Board. The Trustees manage all business of the Foundation. The trustee chair,who serves for one year as chair, is the head of the Trustees. Each trustee is appointed to afour-year term.

Women in RotaryBy Susan Hanf and Donna PolydorosRotary International News -- 1 October 2009

The 1989 Council on Legislation vote to admit women into Rotary clubs worldwide remains a water-

shed moment in the history of Rotary.

"My fellow delegates, I would like to remind you that the world of 1989 is very different to the world

of 1905. I sincerely believe that Rotary has to adapt itself to a changing world," said Frank J. Devlyn,who would go on to become RI president in 2000-01.

The vote followed the decades-long efforts of men and women from all over the Rotary world to al-

low for the admission of women into Rotary clubs, and several close votes at previous Council meet-

ings.

The response to the decision was overwhelming: By 1990, the number of female Rotarians had sky-

rocketed to over 20,000.

Twenty years after the Council on Legislation's vote, Rotary has nearly 188,000 female Rotarians.

Women have served in leadership positions as high as the RI Board of Directors and The Rotary

Foundation Board of Trustees.

An enactment to delete the word male from the Standard Rotary Club Constitution is proposed by a Rotary club in India

for the Council on Legislation meeting at the 1950 RI Convention.

The Council on Legislation agenda contains an enactment proposed by a Rotary club in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to permit

the admission of women into Rotary clubs. Delegates vote that it be withdrawn. Two other proposals to allow women to

be eligible for honorary membership are also withdrawn.

Three separate proposals to admit women into membership are submitted to the Council on Legislation for considera-

tion at the 1977 RI Convention. A Brazilian club makes a different proposal to admit women as honorary members.The Rotary Club of Duarte, California, USA, admits women as members in violation of the RI Constitution and Standard

Rotary Club Constitution. Because of this violation, the club's membership in Rotary International is terminated in

March 1978, only to be reinstated in September 1986.

In a lawsuit filed by the Duarte club in 1983, the California Superior Court rules in favor of Rotary International, uphold-

ing gender-based qualification for membership in California Rotary clubs. In 1986, the California Court of Appeals re-

verses the lower court's decision, preventing the enforcement of the provision in California. The California Supreme

Court refuses to hear the case, and it is appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

On 4 May, the U.S. Supreme Court rules that Rotary clubs may not exclude women from membership on the basis of

gender. Rotary issues a policy statement that any Rotary club in the United States can admit qualified women into mem-

bership. The Board "encourages all clubs in the U.S. to give fair and equal consideration to candidates for membershipwithout regard to gender."

The Rotary Club of Marin Sunrise, California (formerly Larkspur Landing), is chartered on 28 May. It becomes the first

club after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling to have women as charter members. Sylvia Whitlock, of the Rotary Club of

Duarte, California, becomes the first female Rotary club president.

At its first meeting after the 1987 U.S. Supreme Court decision, the Council on Legislation votes to eliminate the require-

ment in the RI Constitution that membership in Rotary clubs be limited to men. Women are welcomed into Rotary clubs

around the world.

There are 187,967 female Rotarians worldwide. Sixty-three serve as district governors.

The Object of RotaryFirst formulated in 1910, the Object of Rotary is to

encourage and foster the ideal of service as a ba-

sis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to en-

courage and foster:

. The development of acquaintance asan opportunity for service;

. High ethical standards in business

and professions, the recognition of the worthi-

ness of all useful occupations, and the dignify-

ing of each Rotarian's occupation as an oppor-

tunity to serve society;

. The application of the ideal of service

in each Rotarian's personal, business, and

community life;

. The advancement of international

understanding, goodwill, and peace through a

world fellowship of business and professional

persons united in the ideal of service.

5Avenues of ServiceBased on the Object of Rotary, the Five Avenues of Ser-vice are Rotarys philosophical cornerstone and the founda-

tion on which club activity is based:

Club Service focuses on strengthening fel-lowship and ensuring the effective function-ing of the club.

Vocational Service encourages Rotariansto serve others through their vocations andto practice high ethical standards.

Community Service covers the projectsand activities the club undertakes to im-prove life in its community.

International Service encompasses ac-tions taken to expand Rotarys humanitar-ian reach around the globe and to promoteworld understanding and peace.

New Generations Service recognizes the

positive change implemented by youth and

young adults through leadership develop-

ment activities, service projects, and ex-

change programs.
