The Rotarian Reader a 75-Year Anthology

 This rich anthology celebrates 75 years of a magazine that began as a hurriedly put-together newsletter with little expectation of permanence or continuity. But the National Rotarian, brainchild of Chesley perry and Paul Harris – and printed by their friend, Harry Ruggles – developed a life and substance of its own. After its first few tentative years it found a bold and thoughtful journalistic voice and ever since has thoughtful journalistic voice and ever since has thoughtful journalistic voice and ever since has been talking to and with Rotarian about their organization and the world at large.

Contributors to the newsletter that, in 1912, became THE ROTARIAN include 16 Nobel Prize winners, 19 Pulitzer Prize winners, hundreds of sports and political figures, and many more men and women who were promiclever, talented editors, assistant editors, and free-lance writer also added luster to the magazine’s pages.
