The history of secret and ritualistic organizations has never received the attention that the subject deserves. Although their influence has been and continues to be considerable, they are viewed as having members who are enjoined to be tight- lipped about the activities. Despite the manifest differences between the branches of this fascinating group, their culture has a commonality whose consideration has been neglected, and the research problems they present for scholars have similarities.

  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

  • The Master's Letters
    The Master’s Letters Jorge Luis Romeu, M.M. Liverpool Syracuse Lodge No. 501 Onondaga Masonic District of the GL NY A Compilation of my 10 monthly Master’s Letters appearing in The Word, The Masonic Monthly Newspaper of the Four Districts in Central New York. To other Lodge Masters and to my Brother Freemasons With the hope that these letters help them in their Lodge work. Copyright 2019 About the Author Jorge Luis Romeu is a Master Mason, Initiated in January, in Estrada Palma Lodge, and Raised in his Island Lodge No. 56, Havana, Cuba, in April of 1969. These were difficult times to be a Mason, in Communist Cuba, especially for a young man. In 1980 Romeu moved to the US. The social and economic conditions of an immigrant, plus the differences between Masonic Rituals and language, made it difficult for him to join an American Lodge. However, he kept his links with individual Brethren and Masonic listserves. After a long hiatus, where he remained unaffiliated, Bro. Romeu joined the Jose Celso Barbosa Lodge No. 106, in Bayamon, San Juan, Puerto Rico, the land of his paternal family, where he regularly visited his brother and other family members. Romeu later joined Liverpool Syracuse Lodge No. 501, in the state of New York, where he resides and teaches. He was the Worshipful Master of Liverpool Syracuse Lodge 2018-2019. Bro. Romeu is a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason, with the Syracuse Valley, AASR, NMJ, and the Onondaga Masonic District Mentoring Chair, where he leads the North Star Mentoring Program.

Herbert Poole in collaboration with the present junior author. On Brother Poole’s premature passing on the 14th February 1951, which deprived Masonic research of one of its foremost lights, he had completes only a few rough notes towards the project. Fortunately Brother Pick was willing to step into the breach. In condensing the whole of the history of Freemasonry in all its aspects into 283 pages, the chief difficulty has beer this very task of compression and much fascinating detail has perforce had to be omitted.

  • THE ANTIENT LANDMARKS - November 2015
    THE ANTIENT LANDMARKS - November 2015 Our Masonic History gives us a fuller understanding of Freemasonry. I have always held the view that our history is intrinsically associated with education. As Education Officer of Lodge St Alban some of my contributions will therefore, be of an historical nature. My first contribution relates to The Antient Landmarks. Does a Masonic Landmark have a different meaning, compared to the meaning normally put into the word? A navigator sees a landmark as a certain easily detectable mark in the landscape. In the VSL "you shall not remove a neighbours landmark," be it a certain tree, a big stone or a little brook, marking the boundaries for a farm, a village or for another certain area. Landmarks in history include, the battle of Trafalgar, the Hiroshima atomic bomb, the landing on the moon. In medical domain the discovery of the blood circulation, the introducing of antiseptic surgery and discovery of penicillin. All these landmarks have something in common: Each of them is special and distinct. The Landmarks most commonly referred to are those listed by Mackey in 1858. 1. Modes of recognition. 2. The division of symbolic masonry into three degrees. 3. The legend of the Third Degree. 4. Government of the Fraternity by an elected Grand Master. 5. The prerogative of the Grand Master to preside over every assembly of the Craft. 6. The prerogative of the Grand Master to grant dispensations for conferring degrees at irregular times 7. The prerogative of the Grand Master to give dispensations for opening and holding lodges. 8.

  • The Hiramic Legend and the Creation of the Third Degree
    The Hiramic Legend and the Creation of the Third Degree ‘If not the Revd Dr John Theophilus Desaguliers FRS,1 then who?’ Bro. Christopher Powell t is now generally accepted that the third degree of Craft Free- I masonry first appeared in London in the first half of the 1720s, in the early years of the Premier Grand Lodge, when a number of new developments occurred. These included regular lodge meetings being held on fixed days and at defined places, lectures being delivered as part of lodge work, regulations being devised and, most especially, the introduction of the new degree of Master Mason. (This should not be confused with the Master of the lodge who, until the third degree was established, was in Masonic rank a Fellow Craft.) This change is clarified in the two editions of Anderson’s Constitutions. In the first, dated 1723, it is stated that the Master of a lodge must be a Fellow Craft: ‘No Brother can be a Warden until he has pass’d the part of a Fellow-Craft; nor a Master until 1 For a full account of Desaguliers’s life and work, see A. Carpenter, John Theophilus Desaguliers: A Natural Philosopher, Engineer and Freemason in Newtonian England (London: Continuum, 2011). To be presented to the Lodge 18 February 2021 Volume 133, 2020 1 Christopher Powell he has acted as a Warden.’2 In the second edition, dated 1738, it is stated that the Master of a lodge must hold the rank of a Master Mason: ‘The Wardens are chosen from among the Master-Masons, and no Brother can be a Master of a Lodge till he has acted as Warden somewhere, except in extraordinary Cases.’3 Thus, between the first edition of Ander- son’s Constitutions published in 1723 and the second edition published in 1738 the third degree – the degree of Master Mason – had not only been introduced into lodge work, but had become the norm at least in the cities of London and Westminster and in those lodges outside London warranted by the Grand Lodge.
