‘NYU is next prospect for campus lodge’

New York University may become the next institution of higher learning to inspire the chartering of a Masonic lodge, according to Grand Lodge’s Fraternity of Campus Committee.

I hope they reconsider.

This committee, inspired by the UGLE’s Universities Scheme effort to connect the Craft to colleges and universities, has thus far led to the founding of lodges affiliated with both Columbia University and City University of New York. They are in the news this month for permitting some of the lowest forms of Leftist scumbaggery on their campuses. (For clarity, the lodges meet in Masonic Hall, not on campus.)

NYU does also, but police have been able to intervene because NYU doesn’t have a private campus; it’s properties open onto public streets and parks, which allows the city to interrupt the Islamo-Nazi outbursts somewhat, depending on the political will of the feckless mayor, who’s been partying in Miami while this has been happening.

An NYU lodge was an idea I had ages ago (there are mentions of this in past posts), long before there was a Fraternity on Campus Committee, but I reconsidered more recently because of the character of the university today. Personally I no longer admit to having any connection to the place. I did contact NYU twice more than a decade ago, via its Affinity Clubs office, about investigating the feasibility of discerning any interest in a Masonic lodge among the university community… and didn’t get any reply.

It’s been a nuthouse for generations, of course, but today NYU allows racially segregated housing—that’s black students willfully separating themselves from everyone else—and the entire suite of anti-Americanism from the political Left, including this recent Islamo-Nazi paroxysm. 

This degradation was underway during my time there as an undergraduate. One of the last stories I filed as an editor of The Washington Square News more than thirty years ago was on a University Senate meeting where the little commissars imposed Free Speech restrictions. I totally misread the writing on the wall, thinking it was merely a dumb fad that would be forgotten. Free Speech codes—at a university!? It seemed impossible. One of the creeps responsible, as I recall, had the first name Boaz.

My unsolicited advice to the committee is fuhgeddaboudit. I guess there aren’t any normal, healthy schools among the big money institutions, but there must be others amid the more affordable schools elsewhere in New York. Believe me, NYU doesn’t want us. Even if its students have heard the word Freemasonry, they count us as part of the white supremacist patriarchy blah-blah. The fraternity doesn’t need them.
