Sul Ross Lodge #1300 A.F. & A.M.

Sul Ross Lodge #1300 A.F. &  A.M. Freemasonry is a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory, and illustrated by symbols.

Sul Ross Lodge, chartered in 1947, is thought to be the first Masonic Lodge to have functioned on the campus of a state college or university in the United States. A unique feature of the new lodge was that among its members were the president of Texas A&M College, all of the deans, and almost all of the department heads. The sizeable number of college administrators who were Master Masons provide

d impetus to the growth of the new lodge which created almost 100 new masons during its first year of existence.

“Declaration of Independence” by John Trumbull.

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the formal adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration, signed by 56 men - 8 of whom were known to be Masons - was not a legal document, but instead a formal proclamation of the rights of all men and a condemnation of tyranny. The Declaration highlights the rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness which are fundamental American principles that are still cherished today by Masons in America and all over the world. Happy Independence Day, brethren.

For the Master,

Brethren,

You are invited to our monthly stated meeting on Monday May 11th. The meeting will begin at 7pm and dinner will be served at 6pm.

This month's program is "Be the Light", presented by visiting Brother Chris Ryland before our meeting. This presentation has been well received from those who have seen it. PM Bobby Roggenbuck will be making the journey with him.

Next week on Wednesday, we will have our Lamar Awards Presentation. Dinner will be at 6pm and the presentations will begin afterward. We do have quite a few students and their families attending so I encourage you to attend.

I look forward to seeing you there on Monday.

S&F,
Scott Bratsen
