make a fool of yourself,
then go to the big city

Rotary Dream 1905
n Paul Harris is inspired to start an
organization where men of different
professions could gather in fellowship.
n Return to his boyhood days in Vermont
where friends got together in fellowship to
discuss the topics of the day.
15. Paul P. Harris
n “The thought persisted that I was experiencing
only what had happened to hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of others in the great city … I was
sure that there must be many other young men
who had come from farms and small villages to
establish themselves in Chicago ... Why not
bring them together? If others were longing for
fellowship as I was, something would come of
it.”
