Rotary Timeline 1947


1947

Rotary founder Paul Harris dies on 27 January. More than 300,000 Rotarians mourn. An outpouring of contributions to The Rotary Foundation creates the Paul Harris Memorial Fund, which awards Fellowships for Advance Study to 18 fellows to study abroad during the 1947-48 Rotary year, forming the precursor to the Ambassadorial Scholarships program.
