Abstract

The Roster is an alphabetical list of members with their English and Chinese names, birthday (month of birth), position, organization, home address, and classification (service they belonged to according to the official Rotarian classification). 

The introduction also contains a list of current officers and committees (for 1937-8) past presidents and founding and honorary members (4). It also mentions that the meetings of the club takes place every thursday at 12:45 p.m. at the Grand Hotel des Wagons-Lits in Beijing. 

Note

Note that while the motto of he Rotary International ("Service Above Self") placed the emphasis on general service rather than individual interests, that of the Peking Rotary ("He Profits Most Who Serves Best") placed individual profits over general interest and the ethics of service.
