One of several efforts to draft a statement of this kind is what is known as "Service Through Business," the substance of which is that each Rotarian should regard his vocation as an opportunity to serve society, as well as a means of material gain; and to promote high business standards, recognizing that all transactions must be governed by practices which will bring satisfaction to all parties concerned.

To be sure that these standards. are observed, since 1933 he and his associates have applied the following "Four-Way Test" to them: 1. Is it the Truth? 2. Is it fair to all concerned? 3. Will it build good will and better friendships? 4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
