He was member of the local Rotary Club but he wanted to revise the club by proposing of a founding new rotary club for young men. Unfortunately this was not possible and Marcsi made a conclusion that revising mentioned new organization and therefore was Round Table saw its daylight. The first club in Finland was founded in Helsinki and is known as RT-1.
Round Table has not been founded in legacy of King Arthur but Round Table has inherited its name and principles from the speech given at the British Industries fair by Prince of Wales at that time in 1927.
"The young business and professional men of this country must get together round the table, adopt methods that have proved to be so sound in the past, adapt them to the changing needs of the time and, whenever possible, improve them"
- King Edward VIII
The Emblem
The design of the Round Table emblem is, however, an adaptation of the table which hangs in the great hall, Winchester and which is claimed to be the Round Table of the court of King Arthur.
