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.
