Rotary founder Paul Harris dies on 27 January 1947. An outpouring of contributions to The Rotary Foundation creates the Paul Harris Memorial Fund, which awards Fellowships for Advance Study to 18 fellows to study abroad during the 1947-48 Rotary year, forming the precursor to the Ambassadorial Scholarships program.
Salute to a great visionary-Paul Harris.
O ne day in the fall of 1900, Paul P. Harris met attorney Bob Frank for dinner in a well-off neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago. They took a walk around the area and stopped at shops along the way. Harris was impressed by how Frank had made friends with many of the shopkeepers.
