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.
