From the earliest days, Rotary has been concerned with promoting high ethical standards. One of the world's most widely quoted statements is Rotary's 4-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor. Every year Rotary districts around the world sponsor high school 4-Way Test contests.

The purpose of the speech is to persuade others while applying the principles of the Rotary 4-Way Test. The goal is for students to make the world a better place, to practice the virtues of critical thinking and ethical decision making, to develop public speaking and leadership skills to positively influence and inspire others regarding an issue that they find passionate. 

The Rotary Four-Way test

• Is it the truth?
• Is if fair to all concerned?
• Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
• Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
