PEACE THROUGH SERVICE To support the implementation of the strategic plan, RI will no longer have presidential emphases that change every year. This decision will help us to have greater continuity in our service, and achieve more significant goals over the long term. |

In
the August 1931
issue of The Rotarian, RI President Sydney
W. Pascall of Great Britain wrote an article called "Consolidate,
Investigate, Translate." He was the first European to be elected
RIP. In his think-piece he talks about the need for RI to be able to
communicate with all its members in their own languages. His third paragraph
reads as follows:
"I have no slogan to suggest, no motto for the year, and Rotary
needs no motto other than "Service" - "Service"
unqualified, unconditional. "Let him that would be great among
you be servant of all"; that is the Rotarian's high aim."
My first response is that there are three great mottos here, (1) Consolidate,
Investigate, Translate, (2) Service and (3) Service, Unqualified, Unconditional.
Second, he embraces the universal concept of service, and everything
else in Rotary is a subset.
