About Vocational Service
“Of all the hundred and
one ways in which men
can make themselves
useful to society,
undoubtedly the most
available and often the
most effective are within
the spheres of their own
occupations”.
Paul Harris
The National Rotarian, January 1912

Guiding Principles of Rotary
Throughout Rotary’s history,
several basic principles have
been developed to guide
Rotarians in achieving the
ideal of service and high
ethical standards.
Object of Rotary
Four Way Test
Classification Principle
Avenues of Service

13. DTTS – North Coast – February 26-28, 2015
Object of Rotary
First formulated in 1910 and adopted through the years as Rotary’s mission
expanded, the Object of Rotary provides a succinct definition of the
organization’s purpose as well as the club member’s responsibilities
It is to encourage and foster the ideal of service through:
1. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity of
service;
2. High ethical standards in business and professions;
3. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s
personal, business and community life;
4. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill
and peace through a world of fellowship.

14. DTTS – North Coast – February 26-28, 2015
The Four Way Test
Herbert J. Taylor, 1932
President, R.I. 1954-55
Adopted by R.I. in 1943
Followed by Rotarians
worldwide in their business
and professional lives, The
Four-Way Test was created by
Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor in
1932. It has since been
translated into more than 100
languages and is used by
organizations and individuals
throughout the world.

15. DTTS – North Coast – February 26-28, 2015
Classification Principle
Virtually, all membership in Rotary is
based upon a “Classification”. Basically,
a classification describes the distinct
and recognized business or professional
service that the Rotarian renders to
society.
Classification Principle  a wide
diversity of business and professional
composition representing the
community  better service.
The number of members holding a
particular classification is limited
according to the size of the club.

16. DTTS – North Coast – February 26-28, 2015
Classification Principle
When professionals
join a Rotary club, they
do so as a
representative of their
classification – their
particular business or
profession.
Rotarians have the
dual responsibility of
representing their
vocation within the club
and exemplifying the
ideals of Rotary within
the workplace.

24. DTTS – North Coast – February 26-28, 2015
One of the central goals
of Vocational Service is to
promote and advance
Rotary’s high ethical
standards. A useful tool
Rotarians have to assess
these standards (apart
from the 4-Way Test, is
The Declaration of
Rotarians in Business and
Professions.
