Masonic Papers is a collection of articles written by members of the Research Lodge of Oregon No. 198, primarily from the 1920's and 30?s. During the 1930's Brethren across the country began forming Research Lodges to educate the membership in the precepts and history of our Craft. Research Lodge of Oregon was the third such Lodge, and now stands as the 2nd oldest Research Lodge in the United States. This book contains articles on the History of American Masonry, Oregon Masonry and famous members of the Order. With those are articles on Masonic Education, Philosophy and Symbolism. To this has been added biographies of the authors of the articles contained within, reminding us of the lives of those great, but now mostly forgotten Masons. It is hoped that this volume will have something of interest for every Mason.
