CHARGE TO THE PRESIDENT
When one becomes President of the Plymouth Rotary Club he should not
receive his elevation to its highest office by perfunctorily agreeing to
'perform the duties of the presidency. He must accept his new
responsibility as one of trust. Upon your judgment and knowledge of men
will rest the success or failure of this Club as an instrument of service to
t his community, which is the basic function of Rotary.
We trust that throughout your rotary life you have acquired sufficient
knowledge of Rot ary and its usages to place you in a position to impart
this knowledge to your fellow members. This your Club believes by
offering you the opportunity to serve as its president and leader. In the
administration of this Club's affairs you should exhibit the best in business
tact and energy; possessed with dignity of carriage and evenness of mind;
promptness in business procedures; firmness in decision. Courtesy of
manner and kindness of heart should characterize your every act.
Rotary in this community will be largely judged by your qualit y of
leadership and the efforts of the men whom you now have the opportunity
to inspire. During your year as President of Plymouth Rotary, only matters
of t he utmost importance should be allowed to detract from your
opportunity for service as its President.
I now present and entrust you with the gavel of this Club as the symbol of
its highest authority.
