ROTARY ON RADIO

The world is fortunate to have recorded for posterity, a speech delivered by Paul Harris at the 24th Rotary International Convention (June 26-30, 1933) at Boston, Massachusetts, USA. This speech was broadcast worldwide by Radio on that historic occasion.

The approximately six-minute audio speech may be listened to here:  Paul Harris Speech Boston RI Convention 1933.mp3

The speaker is introduced by Chesley Perry, General Secretary, RI, 1910-1942.

The text of the speech is available in its entirety here: http://www.whatpaulharriswrote.org/library/conventions/1933.htm.
