  • Plenary Lecture
    HALL I 09.00 — po.00 PLENARY LECTURE The first Capital cornerstone laying: Masonry, Alexandria, the nation, and the world, c. 1791 PROFESSOR STEVEN C. BULLOCK The 1791 ceremony laying the first boundary marker of District of Columbia was not a particularly impressive event. It attracted no famous figures. Even the stone itself was soon replaced. But the seemingly unremarkable ritual that took place almost exactly 220 years ago in Alexandria, just a few miles from the conference site, provides a means of examining some of the most significant elements of Masonry during those years. An examination of the ceremony and the brothers who participated in it highlights the connections that tied them and their town together, that linked them to the new nation and to its growing national economy, and that allowed them to participate in a transatlantic cultural world. Besides participating in these relationships, the fraternity also built and sustained them--allowing its members to fulfill the goal of a much more recent slogan, thinking globally while acting locally. 1111 HA _L" 10.30 —12 NOON SESSION I: MOZART AND FREEMASONRY CHAIR — HARRIET SANDVALL, UK Paper Ia: Mozart: The contrapuntal temple in the last symphony Neva Krysteva, Bulgaria If we discuss the "classical aspect" of Mozart's nature and "recognize" the same Masonic idea in the Requiem and in The Magic Flute, we think in the categories of humanity and universalism. The same can be said in other terms: Mozart is a representative of more than one meaning of the word Masonry: operative meaning ("Kunste," or "Arbeit") and speculative ("Klugheit,") aspects.

IN accordance with " time-honoured custom," the completion of the 18fch Vol. of the New Series of the FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIEROE is now availed of to address our readers. "With a view to carry out the proposal some time ago started for enabling the publishing price of the MAGAZINE to be reduced, and its circulation greatly increased, the preliminary steps have been taken,' and" it now only remains for our friends and the well wishers of the MAGAZINE to come forward and aid us in completing the project, in the successful carrying out of which, all the members of the Masonic fraternity, whether holding under the English, Scottish, or Irish constitutions, are interested to a much greater extent than those who have hitherto been connected with the MAGAZINE as a property. Now that the course of transferring the future publication of the MAGAZINE to a Joint Stock Company with " Limited Liability" has been determined upon, we earnestly invite the co-operation of its friends and supporters ; and, as it is not thought desirable to parade our Order and its only recognised Organ before the public, and as it is not believed to be necessary to appeal to the public to take shares in the Company, it is not proposed to issue any advertisements or public announcements ; it is therefore hoped that any application further a field for the remainder of the capital required, will be unnecessary.
