President Petersen's Page

To commence the new Rotary year of 2022-23 I draw your attention to a link of “Imagining Rotary” (the RI theme for the year) to the Code of Ethics by which we have served since 1954 (“The Four Way Test”). In this First Edition of PRESIDENT PETERSEN’S PAGE I have compiled a background to this test from a historical perspective. (Wikipedia, June 3, 2022).
 
The Four Way Test of the things we think, say and do is the test by which Rotarians world wide adopt this test as a moral code for personal and business relationships. The test can be applied to almost any aspect of life. 
 
In the 1940’s when Taylor was an RI International Director he offered the Four Way Test to our organisation, and it was adopted by Rotary for its internal and promotional use. 

Never changed, those twenty four words today remain a central part of the permanent Rotary structure throughout the world and is held as a standard by which all relationships should be measured. Taylor gave Rotary International the right to use the test in the 1940’s and the copyright in 1954.

We are the custodians and beneficiaries of this TEST.
