ROTARY FACTS. One of the most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics in the world is the Four Way Test. It was created by Rotarian Herbert Taylor in 1932, and was adopted by Rotary in 1943. it has been translated into ore than 100 languages. The message should be known and followed by all Rotarians. Here it is:

THE FOUR-WAY TEST
Of the things we think, say, and do…
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
