HOTCHKISS. 33° HON. COPYRIGHT APPLIED FOR JUNE 1. 1916 PD Books PD Commons PD Books PD Commons 7^^^: ^ ^^^:Ay<^.\y3 */i^W- preface In the preparation of this book, the author has sought solely to present an accurate and connected history of the rise and extension of Scottish Rite Masonry in Texas. The information which it contains has been compiled chiefly from the Masonic records in the archives of Philip C. Tucker, for free and frequent access to which the author is indebted to the widow and family of the late Grand Cornpiander. The only virtue that is claimed for this work is its cor- rect portrayal of the life of the Rite in Texas. The author, himself, at the time of writing, the oldest thirty-third de- gree Honorary Scottish Rite Mason in Texas, has drawn readily upon his more or less extensive fund of informa- tion concerning the Rite in this State, not for the purpose of writing down his recollections or beliefs concerning its establishment and progress, but merely for the sugges- tion of lines of investigation that carefully and definitely pursued might lead to the acquisition of data about the authenticity of which there could be no shadow of doubt. More than twelve months were spent in this undertak- ing. The author visited frequently the several Consis- tories of Texas and going once to Washington to examine the records of the Supreme Council for information un- obtainable here.

  • The Scottish Rite Grand Almoner's Fund
    The Valley of Boston Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry & The Massachusetts Partner-Valleys of Lowell the Merrimack, Salem and Worcester GRAND MASTER’S CLASS Saturday, November 9th, 2019 MOST WORSHIPFUL PAUL F. GLEASON Why Pursue Scottish Rite Masonry? Although there is no more important degree than that of the Master Mason, the additional 29 Scottish Rite degrees serve to enrich a Brother’s comprehension of the philosophy and symbolic teaching he received when he was initiated into Freemasonry. When you choose to further your Masonic experience by becoming a 32° Scottish Rite Mason**, you will expand upon your knowledge of Freemasonry’s fundamental principles. The moral and ethical lessons we learn together, will continuously remind us of our duties to family, country, humanity, nature and the Great Architect of the Universe. You do not have to receive all 29 degrees to become a 32° Mason. However, receiving a minimum of five degrees is required. You must receive the 4° and 32°, along with 3 additional degrees. ** Despite its name (explained later in this brochure), the Scottish Rite welcomes all worthy Master Masons regardless of their ethnic origin. The Origins of the Scottish Rite A vague reference to the name "Scottish Rite" can be found in a manuscript dating back to 1733: ''Lodge #115 meeting at the Devil Tavern near Temple Bar in London was described as a Scott's Masons Lodge." The exact origin of the name, however, still remains a mystery to this day. A plausible explanation might be found in late 17th-century European history. When the British Isles were torn by political and religious conflicts, many Scots from the nobility, particularly from the Stuart dynasty, fled to France to seek King Louis XIV's protection.

  • The Illusion of Control “Consensual” Executions, the Impending Death of Timothy Mcveigh, and the Brutalizing Futility of Capital Punishment
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The illusion of control “Consensual” executions, the impending death of Timothy McVeigh, and the brutalizing futility of capital punishment The death penalty cannot be useful, because of the example of barbarity it gives men. On crimes and punishments, Cesare Beccaria, 1764. There is no proof that the death penalty ever made a single murderer recoil when he had made up his mind, whereas clearly it had no effect but one of fascination on thousands of criminals; in other regards, it constitutes a repulsive example, the consequences of which cannot be foreseen. Reflections on the guillotine, Albert Camus, 1957. If...we are to be sincere in our efforts to reduce violence, there is one type of violence that we can with complete certainty eliminate. That is the killing of criminals by the state. The question is, will people learn to respect life better by threat or by example? And the uniform answer of history, comparative studies and experience is that man is an emulative animal. Norval Morris and Gordon Hawkins, US criminologists. A defendant’s voluntary submission to a barbaric punishment does not ameliorate the harm that imposing such a punishment causes to our basic societal values and to the integrity of our system of justice. Certainly a defendant’s consent to being drawn and quartered or burned at the stake would not license the State to exact such punishments. Whitmore v Arkansas, US Supreme Court, Justice Marshall dissenting, 1990. The death penalty, guns, violence in society, these cast a large cloud on America’s moral leadership.

  • Masonry Beyond the Third Degree
    Masonry Beyond the Third Degree fter joining the fraternity, a Master Mason soon discovers the amazing wealth of additional opportunities to learn about Aand to participate in Freemasonry. While there is no Masonic degree more important than that of Master Mason, there is a long tradition—almost as old as Freemasonry—of “high degrees” that expand upon and elaborate the teachings and lessons of the first three degrees. Enthusiastic Masons eager to learn and to participate more are prime candidates for Masonry beyond the Third Degree. The Beginnings of “High Degree” Masonry When the premier Grand Lodge was formed in London in 1717, Freemasonry had only two degrees: Apprentice and Fellow/Master. It was not until some eight years later, in 1725, that we have evidence from a minute book of a dis- tinct Third Degree, that of Master Mason—the first “high degree” added to the basic Masonic ceremonies. This addition to Masonic ritual was absolutely confirmed in 1730 with the publi- cation of Samuel Prichard’s exposé, Masonry Dissected, which gives the Master Mason Degree in full with many recognizable features. Thus the Master Mason Degree began a tradition of “high degrees” that expanded upon the legends of and added greater philosophical depth to Masonry Like so much early Masonic history, the ori- gins of degrees beyond the Third are hidden in mist. There’s evidence that by the early 1730s in England there were “Scotch Masons” or “Scots Master Masons,” a step after the Master Mason Degree (and apparently unrelated to Scotland). By 1742 in Berlin there was talk of “higher or so-called Scottish Masonry.” In 1743 the Grand Lodge of France adopted a regulation limiting the privileges of “Scots Masters” in lodges.

  • "Degrees of the Lodge of Perfection, 4° to 14°, and of the Council of Princes of Jerusalem, 15° and 16°," in the City of New York In
    1 The Browning of Masonry & The Symbolism of the Lost The Scottish Rite And The Cerneau Wrong Revisited By Barry J. Lipson PROLUSION1 Dan Brown, the author of The Lost Symbol, is a Master Craftsman, a master at crafting mystery novels. He is skilled in engendering suspense and creating intrigue, necessary elements in successful “whodunits/where- is-its.” Though Dan is not a Mason, he is a good friend of the Masonic Fraternity! Of what value to him would the world’s greatest fraternity be as his key plot element if his readers perceived it as being just plain vanilla, of having no mysterious past, no deep dark secrets, no occult aspects, no cloak-and-dagger intrigues and/or no felonious facets? Why would his mystery fans be interested in a book solely about a fraternal organization that in North America alone gave 2.6 million dollars a day to charity2 and whose aspirations were to take good men and make them better3? Whose greatest secret was that it had no real secrets? Whose even “hush-hush” dramaturgical elements could be retrieved without “password” by the curious from the stacks of the New York Public Library or the electrons of the Internet?4 Would they not more readily cleave to the construct of an organization that is reputed in world literature and on the World Wide Web to have ancient roots, mysterious secrets, mystical machinations, blasphemous intrigues and a clandestine nature? Indeed, in The Lost Symbol Dan Brown even turns charitableness against the Fraternity by having his anti-superhero make “a multimillion-dollar donation to charity in the name of the Masonic Grand Lodge.

  • Alumni & Friends Newsletter
    University of Nebraska−Lincoln Department of Chemistry Alumni & Friends Newsletter 2019 Letter from The Chair Alumni, Friends, and Colleagues, We’ve had an extraordinarily busy and productive year! Federal support for re- search activity continues to grow and both the quantity and the quality of the Department’s publication record remain strong. You will also note in the pages that follow that our faculty are being rewarded with a variety of state and nation- al awards for their research, teaching, and service activities. In the summer of 2018, we lost our Dean of Arts and Sciences, Joe Francisco, to the University of Pennsylvania. However, under the strong leadership of Interim Dean Beth The- iss-Morse, we embarked on an aggressive hiring plan that has allowed us to broaden our research portfolio in materials science and chemical biology. Support from our donors has been key to the suc- cess of the Department meeting our commitments to secure suitable start up packages. You will hear much more about our new Assistant Professors in next year’s newsletter. Additionally, we recently received good news about long-awaited renovations to our undergraduate laboratory space. In 2018, the Nebraska Board of Regents approved funding for the first of three phases of renovations that will dramatically improve the quality of the laboratory experience we can provide for majors and non-majors on the third and fourth floors of Hamilton Hall. A significant focus will be redesigned space for organic labs. The 2018 calendar year included several special events. Among them was a Fall Mass Spectrometry symposium to celebrate the acquisition of our new 15 T FT-ICR, which became fully operational in the Spring.
