T His Old Top The Grand Lodge A F & A M of Nebraska: Men Putting Ethics Into Practice ∴ ∴ ∴ ∴ Spring 2015 VOL. XXXIV NO. 1 his Old Top Hat by M.W. John T. Maxell, Grand Master M\W\ John T. Maxell 149th Grand Master - Installed February 21, 2015 I was born in the year 1967 from simple felt in an age where my kind had past and the world had little use for hats. Although my maker believed that my destiny was to end up on the top shelf of a gentleman’s closet and to never have much of a life, I soon was to find out that my Master had big plans for me. I was about to become a Mason. Not just a Mason, but the Master of my owner’s Lodge where I would cover my Master and bring respect of our Brethren.T I would sit high and proud on my Master’s head only to be removed to cover his heart when we would pray. That was a great year 1967! A year full of great experiences to last a lifetime that I could reflect back on in my retirement. In 1985, my Master would awake me from my rest and explain to me that we were going on a great adventure and that my service was needed again, and this time we would be serving all the Masons of the Grand Lodge of Nebraska. We would be traveling from Chadron to South Sioux City to McCook to Brownville, visiting thousands of Brothers. I would be requested to perform at a minute’s notice and look my best at all times. My Master’s year as Grand Master flew by so fast that I don’t think we had time to leave a shadow behind us. We did cornerstones, visited numerous Grand Lodge Officers: Lodges in Nebraska, traveled to other states’ Grand Lodge Annual Grand Master John T. Maxell Communications. The greatest joy we had was getting to preside Deputy Grand Master Dennis E. Rix at Nebraska’s Annual Communication where we received Grand Honors of 3 by 3, which must be a Masonic secret, because no one Grand Senior Warden Richard D. Myers could explain to me why we were not good enough to receive 4 by Grand Junior Warden Patrick D. Barger 4 or 5 by 5. That just must be part of Masonry – that you don’t get Grand Secretary Reginald S. Kuhn, PGM all the answers and that you need to keep studying to understand Grand Chaplain Kevin R. Lindly the symbolic lesson in Masonry. I and my Master had fulfilled our obligation as Grand Master. Grand Orator James A. Carlton And now it was time for a planned rest, but oh how God laughs Grand Historian Dennis H. Brydl when his servants make plans, and where he has a different plan Grand Custodian Scott J. Krieger, PGM for his people. Grand Marshal Donald E. Rife My work was not done. My Master had been the charter member of a new Lodge and this Lodge was in need of my services. My Grand Senior Deacon Robert W. Moninger Master had donated me to his new Lodge where I could share my Grand Junior Deacon Ronald D. Stites wisdom and teach the new Master of the Lodge the lessons of Grand Senior Steward Stephen C. Kennedy being Master of their lodge. It felt great to be working and serving Grand Junior Steward James J. Jones where I could contribute and stay in one spot, and not running all over the state. Grand Tyler Paul D.

Bringing Masonic Education to Light Vol XVIII No. 1 grandmessage master’s This Old Top Hat...Continued In February 2015, I was given permission to leave my Lodge to service the Grand Lodge of Nebraska one more time. I knew that even though I had become an Old Top Hat, there was still life in me to serve.

Bringing Masonic Education to Light Vol XVIII No. 1 A Publication of the Grand Lodge AF & AM of Nebraska Spring 2015 by Jonathan Paz “From this association, these partners, along with The Brothers Mayo Dr. Christopher Graham, created what is now grandmessage master’s known as the Mayo Clinic.” William Worrall Mayo was born in the Town of Eccles in the City of Mary’s Hospital on September 30, 1889. Originally, they were the only Salford, Greater Manchester, England, on May 31, 1819, studying science three surgeons at the hospital at a time when anti-Catholic sentiment in and medicine in Manchester, Glasgow, and London before arriving in New Central Minnesota was very high. Three months later, Charles petitioned York City in 1845 working as a pharmacist at Bellevue Hospital. He moved his father’s lodge to receive the degrees of Freemasonry. to Lafayette, Indiana, briefly working as a tailor. In 1849, he rejoined the Dr. Charles Horace Mayo was initiated as an Entered Apprentice medical profession working with Dr. Elizur Deming, one of the founders Mason on January 24, 1890, passed to the degree of a Fellow Craft Mason of the Indiana Medical College in La Porte. Mayo assisted with a cholera (date unknown), and raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason on epidemic in Lafayette, and was rewarded with enrollment in a 16-week May 12, 1890. course at the medical college that same year, graduating in 1850. In 1892,“ William W. Mayo asked Augustus” Stinchfield to join his This may seem a shockingly short time to receive a Doctor of Medicine practice in Rochester. Once Augustus joined, William retired from the degree, but this would be considered an above average education in the practice. As time passed more doctors were brought onto the practice until mid-19th century. Previously, individuals interested in becoming a doctor in 1919 Drs. William J. Mayo, Charles H.

  • Reviews & Short Features
    REVIEWS OF BOOKS The Doctors Mayo. By HELEN CLAPESATTLE. (Minneapolis, The University of Minnesota Press, 1941. xiv, 822 p. Illus­ trations, maps. $3.75.) Miss Clapesattle opens her biography of the Doctors Mayo by calling attention to the " paradox of Rochester." This paradox, she beheves, lies In the fact that a " little town on the edge of nowhere'' Is " one of the world's greatest medical centers." The challenge that faced the author was to explain the paradox. It was a big challenge and meant more than writing the saga of three extraordinary men. It meant placing those men, whose lives spanned more than a century. In a setting of extraordinary sweep. For neither the paradox nor the men could be explained in any single frame of reference. Obviously, she had to understand and to make clear to her readers the changing character of medical science and practice from the 1840's, when young William Worrall Mayo migrated to America, to 1939, when William James and Charles Horace Mayo died. She had to explore the customs and assumptions of at least three genera­ tions of Americans, study the transition of the Middle West from pioneer to modern times, appraise a changing civilization as mani­ fested in an American local community, view the emergence and growth of a great institution projected from the lives of individual men, and see clearly not only her major characters but also the many figures associated with them. All this meant a prodigious amount of research, combing old newspapers, reading medical journals, interview­ ing many men and women, studying manuscripts and case histories, following clues wherever they led, assembling material from a bewilder­ ing variety of sources, and organizing it Into a narrative, not bewild­ ering, but clear and compact.

  • Return of the Mayo Brothers' Portrait to Galter Library
    Return of the Mayo Brothers' Portrait to Galter Library This article was featured in Library Notes #56 (September 2009). By: Ron Sims, Special Collections Librarian The portrait of William James Mayo (ScD 1929) and Charles Horace Mayo (MD 1888, MA 1904, LLD 1921) has been returned from the restoration and conservation studio, Parma Conservation. Located on the near South Side of Chicago, Parma specializes in oversize art works, such as murals and frescoes. The Mayo Brothers’ portrait is 86” x 70” and certainly qualifies as oversize. The conservation process included cleaning, patching and in-painting, flattening the canvas, re-backing and mounting a new, reinforced stretcher. The artist, Gerald Cassidy, was born in Covington, Kentucky in 1879, and grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. He studied at the Mechanic Institute in Cincinnati and with Frank Duveneck at the Cincinnati Art Academy and in New York at the National Academy of Design and Art Students League. He was also employed as an art director for a lithography firm while in New York City. At age 20 he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and traveled to a sanitarium in New Mexico. This move introduced him to life in the American Southwest. He earned his living by painting portraits of Native Americans and scenes of the Southwest that were intended to be reproduced on postcards. He moved to Denver when his health improved, establishing his reputation as a lithographer for magazine illustrations, murals, and advertisements. He married the sculptor and writer Ina Sizer Davis in 1912. Settling in Santa Fe, Cassidy began a commission from the School of American Archaeology to document the culture of Pueblo Native Americans.
