‘News from the Philalethes Society’
✓ Adam Kendall is President for the two-year term.
✓ Chris Ruli is the new Third Vice-President.
✓ Michael Poll, made a Fellow in 2003, has been chosen Dean of the Fellows of the Society.
Steve McCall, owner of Macoy Masonic Supply Co., was the keynote speaker at the luncheon yesterday, discussing the history of his company in “175 Years of Serving the Craft: Publishing, Regalia, and Masonic Supplies.”
The Philalethes Society was founded in 1928 to serve as a nexus for serious thinking and a source for real scholarship on Masonic subjects. Grand lodges were not places to find research and education, so brethren motivated to fill that void organized independent bodies to publish enlightening papers and articles for the fraternity’s advancement in Masonic knowledge. The Philalethes Society was neither the first nor the only such group from that era, but it is the one still breathing at the close of the first quarter of the twenty-first century.
Congratulations all!
Okay, okay. I’ll rejoin. Stop browbeating me.
(Hey guys, how about updating the website, yeah?)
I wonder if I can revive Knickerbocker Chapter.
