Rotary’s Guiding Principles

Throughout Rotary’s history, several basic principles have been developed to guide Rotarians in achieving the ideal of service and high ethical standards.

The Four-Way Test

Followed by Rotarians worldwide in their business and professional lives, The Four-Way Test was created by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor in 1932.  It has since been translated into more than 100 languages and is used by organizations and individuals throughout the world.
