In 1933, 28 years after Rotary's birth, Paul Harris made a radio broadcast from Boston, Massachusetts, USA During the 1933 Rotary International convention from 23-30 June this broadcast was made. Listen, now, to the 1933 Boston Radio Broadcast by Paul Harris. Just click on the radio.  The broadcast is from Boston.  He mentions Rotarians from around the world listening to this broadcast, including China. Paul Harris states the Rotary philosophy. Harris speaks for about 6 minutes and tells the audience that if they have "Love for fellow 'man' in their hearts" they are potential Rotarians.  (Paul Harris recording courtesy of Rotary Global History Fellowship member Art McCullough) *8,430 Rotarians attended the Boston 1933 Convention.
