The Rotary Club of Indianapolis was founded on 17 February 1913. Founded on the principles of Paul Harris’s Rotary Club in Chicago, clubs were initially created to form a community of the most prominent businessmen. The first meetings in Chicago rotated between the members’ place of business, hence the name “Rotary.” The Rotary Club of Indianapolis was the 58^thclub chartered. The Indianapolis club’s first home was in the Claypool Hotel. Tuesday meetings at noon became the custom, with different speakers each week. Weekly luncheons, social outings, and sports, were and still are a key component in the recreational activities of the Rotary Club.

With the beginning of the First World War, the club changed its focus to community service. Today their motto is “Service Above Self.” During the war the club maintained a place for the soldiers to relax. In the 1920s it supplied needy children with toys and musical instruments, and as the Depression came, offered clothes and food. One of the most famous members was the poet James Whitcomb Riley. The club raised money to build the Riley Convalescent Home for Children in his memory. The Riley Convalescent Center was completed in the 1930s. In the 1940s the club started programs to council youth on future career paths, and worked with Purdue University to sponsor 4-H leadership workshops. During World War II the club operated career centers to help returning soldiers with career centers. In 1946 Clarabelle Holycross donated $25,000 in memory of her late husband to “aid the physically, mentally, and materially handicapped residents of Marion County.”

The donation was the financial basis for the Rotary Foundation of Indianapolis. The Rotary Foundation is a separate organization, but run by members of the Rotary Club. The Foundation has its own board of directors and president. The philanthropic group awards grants throughout Marion County.

In the 1950s the Rotary Club helped the Southwest Social Center construct a new building, and also became a partner in Junior Achievement. During the 1960s the club sent educational aid to schools in El Salvador and helped the funding for the Junior Achievement headquarters. On 23 June 1967 the Claypool Hotel burned. It was later demolished and club headquarters moved to the Indianapolis Athletic Club. In the 1970s the club began its association with the Central Indiana Regional Blood Center. The 1980s brought new changes. The club allowed its first female members in 1987. In the 1990s Indiana Rotary Clubs joined together to win a bid to host the annual convention. In 1998, Indianapolis was home for the Rotary International Annual Convention.

Club officials are chosen by election. Elections are held each year for the offices of president, 1^st vice-president, 2^nd vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and sergeant at arms. Officers meet with the directors at the monthly Board of Directors meetings. The directors are also elected. Among the paid staff of Rotary are an executive director and office secretary. The executive director position had the original title of assistant secretary, which was later changed to executive secretary, and finally to executive director. The large committees that meet are the Board of Directors and Membership and Classification Committee. Other committees meet individually, and send reports to the board of directors. These committees include Attendance, Beautification, Membership and Classification, Officer Nominating, New Members Information, Sergeant at Arms, and others.

Even with community service a key part of Rotary, the social aspects of the club are also important. Tuesday meetings are the main gathering of the club. Attendance is determined through Tuesday meetings. Attendance can be maintained by going to other cities’ Rotary Club meetings. Each week a different speaker addresses the club followed with a luncheon. The club’s newsletter Link keeps members up to date, and includes the week’s Tuesday guest speaker. There are numerous programs, committees, and sports in which to participate. Bowling, softball, and plays have long been a part of the Rotary tradition. James Whitcomb Riley, Kin Hubbard, and Chic Jackson were some of the literary members of the club.

The club’s first book From Flood to Fire covers the club’s history from 1913–69. It describes events such as the founding of the club, war efforts, community service, and ends with the destruction of the club’s longtime home, Claypool Hotel, and their move to the Indianapolis Athletic Club. It also contains an index of members from 1913–69. A second history, The Rotary Club of Indianapolis, covers much of the same period, and extends through to 1998.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The most comprehensive series is the Board of Directors, with minutes of the meetings running from 1913-98. The Membership and Classification Committee minutes are in two runs, 1942–57 and 1973–97. This series deals with new members and what classifications the member’s business falls under. The membership rosters go back to 1913–98. These were published for the members, and gives each member’s name address, and occupation. The series on presidents, club officers, and club elections deals with the working structure of the club, and the processes for elections. The Rotary Foundation is a separate entity, but still connected to the club. Its main function is philanthropy. The next series is the club newsletter, which is published weekly. A series on the Tuesday weekly meetings includes some committee meetings and notes from the meetings. The Miscellaneous Committee series is the smaller committees minutes that survive in small runs. Service Programs covers the various efforts the club takes part in to better the community. The History series has papers that tell about the club. The Recreation series covers the other side of the Rotary club including sports, plays, and poems. The Membership Applications are from the early applicants of the club. Each applicant had to fill out the card. If they were admitted, the membership and classification committee signed the card. The Scrapbooks tell a thorough history of the club. These were compiled by the club, and include newspaper clippings, letters, and weekly newsletters from 1913–72. The next series had materials on the Rotary district which the Indianapolis Club is a part of, and other Indianapolis Rotary Clubs. The Special Events series has programs from special celebrations of anniversaries of the club and visits from presidents of Rotary International.

Series 1: Board of Directors, 1913–98. The Board of Directors Meetings included the elected officials and elected directors. These minutes run from 1913–98. The meetings were held monthly, with special meetings called by the president. The teens and the twenties minutes have notes and letters. From 1930–35 these minutes were rebound. The tops were cut off, sometimes with a line of text. Starting again in 1957 more notes and letters are included with the minutes. The first folder in the series is a typed copy of the historical resolutions passed by the Board of Directors from 1913–88. Two partial copies make a complete list. A member of the board collected their notes of the meetings from March to December 1993. Also included are election ballots from 1967 and 1979.

Each member is assigned a unique classification to insure only the best representative within a business field is allowed into the club. There are additional active members and senior active members. Within the committee, sub-committees researched new members and recommended them for membership. A 1988 leaflet explains some of the classification process.
