On 23 February 1905, Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr,Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Loehrsoffice for what would become known as the first Rotary clubmeeting. Harriss desire for camaraderie among business asso-ciates brought together these four men and eventually led toan international organization of service and fellowship.

Read about each of the first four Rotarians below, and aboutHarry L. Ruggles, who is often called the "fifth Rotarian."

Rotarys founder, Paul Harris, was born in Wisconsin, USA,on 19 April 1868. He was raised by his paternal grand-parentsin Vermont and attended the University of Vermont, Prince-ton, and the University of Iowa. He was Rotary presidentfrom 1910 to 1912 and a member of the Rotary Club of Chi-cagountil his death on 27 January 1947.

Gustavus Loehr, a mining engineer, was born on 18 October1864 in Carlinville, Illinois. He was a Rotarian for only a few

years, never holding office at the club or international level.But that first Rotary meeting was held in his office, Room 711of the Unity Building in downtown Chicago. He died in Chi-cago on 23 May 1918.

A Rotarian for only a few years, Hiram Shorey served as re-cording secretary during the clubs first year. He was born inMaine in August 1862 and died in March 1944.

Silvester Schiele, a coal dealer, served as the Chicago clubsfirst president in 1905 and Rotary Internationals third treas-urer in 1945. Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1870, Schieleattended Terre Haute Business College and served in the U.S.Army during the Spanish-American War. He was president of

the Schiele Coal Company from 1902 until his retirement in1939. He and Harris became lifelong friends and lived neareach other on the South Side of Chicago. Schiele died on 17December 1945 and is buried near Harris at Mount HopeCemetery.

Originally from Michigan, Harrry Ruggles was a graduate ofNorthwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and joined Ro-tary at its second meeting. He was treasurer of the Chicagoclub during its first year, president from 1908 to 1910, and aRotary director from 1912 to 1913. He is known for havingintroduced singing to Rotary club meetings. His printing com-pany, H.L. Ruggles & Co., printed the first issue of The National Rotarianand the first Rotary songbook. He died on 26October 1959, an honorary member of seven clubs in additionto his home club, the Rotary Club of Chicago.

Early Rotary History - About the FoundersFrom Gyrator, weekly newsletter of the Rotary Club of Chicago, Vol. 108 Issue 48 January 29, 2013

The third meeting of the newly formedclub soon to be Rotary was held inChicago at Charter Member, SilvesterSchiels coal-yard office. A total of 15

members attended the meeting.

It was clear that first on the agenda wasnaming the new club. Some membersfelt that the name should reflect a feelingof community. The first names proposedfor the fledgling organization were: theWindy City Roundup, Chicago Fellow-ship Club, The Lake Club, or simplyThe Chicago Civic Club. The name The Trade and Talk Club also was

suggested. Although the suggestions fora name were bountiful, none seemedappropriate. When two in the groupmade proposals for the Blue Boys and

The Conspirators, Paul Harris felt heshould take control of the process. Hebrought a new name to the table. Sincethe charter members of the club hadagreed to rotate meetings betweenmembers places of business with theleadership of each meeting also rotating,why not name the club The RotationClub. The members of the groupthought the name too clumsy and Paulresubmitted a final choice The Rotary

Club. That name stuck. And it sureseems more appropriate than The Conspirators. Dues were set at 0 cents allowing for club expenses to be paid from

those 50-cent fines imposed on members who missed meetings or for otheoffenses. Members would have to requalify for mem-bership each year bygaining a two-thirds vote of the club. Thenewly-named Rotary Club chose PauHarris as their first president; althoughhe declined and Silvester Schiele tookon the position of Rotarys first officialeader. Thus The Rotary Club was ofand running.
