 FOREWORD 
 
 At a regular meeting of Oriental Consistory, held on March 16, 
 1905, in view of the approaching semi-centennial anniversary of the 
 institution of the co-ordinate bodies of the Scottish Rite of Free- 
 masonry in Chicago, the following resolution was adopted : 
 
 "WHEREAS, It seems desirable and proper that the collect- 
 ing and presenting in durable form of the facts, incidents and data 
 relating to the history of these bodies for the past fifty years, and of 
 the Rite in general, should be made at this period and in such man- 
 ner as to be accessible and beneficial to our membership, there- 
 fore be it 
 
 "Resolved, That the librarian of this Consistory be directed 
 to prepare such matter as may be ot usefulness in connection 
 with the subject and that it be printed and issued under the direc- 
 tion of the Grand Secretary for general distribution and in such 
 number as shall be deemed desirable." 
 
 In pursuance of such resolution this book has been compiled. 
 
 The task, however, has been one of great difficulty, owing to the 
 almost utter dearth of historical material relating to the origin and 
 early years of the several bodies. But from such scant data as are 
 now available an attempt has been made to show, in a connected 
 manner, the introduction and subsequent general course of the Rite 
 in Chicago, together with such incidental matters as seemed to 
 possess historic interest. From the time of the Great Fire in 1871 
 until the present, there are complete records of the transactions of 
 the bodies, and to these records frequent recurrence has been had. 
 But, at best, these later records present but little for the historian's 
 pen. The regular routine has been observed and the bodies have 
 all moved quietly in their accustomed grooves with no disturbing 
 influences from either without or within. Peace and harmony have 
 characterized all of their proceedings and nothing of a sensational 
 
 IT
 
 HISTORY OF A/.A/.SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 or startling nature has occurred. Hence, the chronicle, reflecting 
 these peaceful moods, must itself be without items of very stirring 
 interest. 
 
 But during the fifty years of the existence of the bodies there 
 have occurred many little incidents and episodes which the historian 
 has deemed of sufficient importance to warrant a mention in these 
 pages. The incidents have been recited with such degree of detail 
 as the particular subject seemed to demand. 
 
 To avoid prolixity the names and terms of service of the presid- 
 ing officers of the several bodies have been collated and presented in 
 a series of tables which show, in a clear and succinct manner, the 
 order of succession. These tables cover only the period since the 
 union in 1871. No sufficient data have been found to show a com- 
 plete list of the office bearers of the rival bodies prior to the merger. 
 
 Another important feature of the book is the historical register 
 of members. This list was compiled under the personal supervision 
 of 111. Bro. Gil. W. Barnard, and is believed to be full and com- 
 plete. The illustrations have necessarily been limited and confined 
 to the portraits of the men who have successively ruled over the 
 several bodies and guided their destinies in the past. 
 
 The amended code of by-laws, adopted in the year 1907, has also 
 been inserted as well for convenience of reference as from the fact 
 that it is itself original historic material of the highest character. 
 
 The author submits the volume to the Craft in the hope that it 
 will be found, in some measure, a fulfillment of the directions con- 
 tained in the resolution of March 16, 1905, and that it may serve to 
 preserve "in durable form," some, at least, of the "facts, incidents 
 and data relating to these bodies for the past fifty years."

 TION OF THE SUPREME COUNCIL AND BIRTH OF THE SCOTTISH RITE EX- 
 PLOITATION IN THE NORTHERN JURISDICTION. 
 
 FREEMASONRY, like many other institutions, has con- 
 stantly exhibited a tendency to evolve from simple to com- 
 plex forms. Commencing, so far as we are able to learn, 
 at some indeterminate period soon after the end of the tenth cen- 
 tury, its rudimentary form seems to have been that of a craft guild. 
 The earliest authentic document that has come down to us, dated, 
 by estimation, the latter part of the fourteenth century, unmistak- 
 ably discloses this fact, while the numerous copies of the old 
 charges written or compiled since that time all confirm this primi- 
 tive character. But the old Freemasons, from the earliest glimpse 
 that we are able to obtain of them, were not, in all respects, like 
 the ordinary artificer's guilds of the period. They had old legends 
 that claimed for their craft, if not for their organization, a very 
 remote antiquity; they had a code of ethics that seems remarkable 
 for its lofty morality when compared with the rude and turbulent 
 age in which they lived; and they had a stable organization, with 
 a fixed though simple ceremony of initiation. 
 
 The old Freemasons, however, knew nothing of degrees or 
 dignities. They had but one form of reception, and the person so 
 received became for all purposes a member of the society. There
 
 2 HISTORY OF A. '. A. '.SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 were indeed ranks of workmen, the divisions and distinctions de- 
 pending upon technical skill and knowledge of the building art, 
 but degrees, as that term is now understood, do not seem to have 
 had any existence until after the revival of 1717. While it is true 
 that the person having the superintendence of the work was known 
 as "Master," yet this title had reference only to actual building 
 operations. Their principal men, the directors and advisers, were 
 called "Elders," and it was one of the Elders who presided over 
 the meetings of the Craft, administered the obligation and read 
 the charges to the novice. 
 
 With the gradual change from an operative to a purely specula- 
 tive character came many additions to the original meagre ritual. 
 The ancient legends of the Craft supplied some of these additions 
 but the fertile imaginations of the ritual compilers furnished by 
 far the larger portion, and whenever it became necessary an ancient 
 legend was promptly fabricated to sustain a ritualistic formula. 
 These features became very strongly marked after the revival and 
 the Rev. James Anderson may fairly be assigned the position of 
 father of the modern school of imaginative Masonic historians. 
 
 At the time of the revival, and for a number of years next en- 
 suing, it would seem that only one degree was conferred in the 
 Lodge, or, at most, only two degrees, to-wit: Apprentice and 
 Fellow. Certain it is that the Master's Part, as it was called, could 
 be obtained only in Grand Lodge, and there is much evidence to 
 show that the part of Master and Fellow constituted but one degree. 
 This, it would further seem, consisted of a mere dignity. By 1730, 
 however, a full scale of three degrees, in essential form much as 
 we now know them, constituted the curriculum of the Lodge. 
 About this time, also, or soon thereafter, there was introduced the 
 official degree of Installed Master, and along about 1740 we may 
 perceive the first appearance of the degree of Royal Arch. This 
 latter, in its early form at least, seems to have been a "chair de- 
 gree;" that is, it was conferred only on the actual Masters of 
 Lodges, or, as the old books say, upon one "who had regularly 
 passed the chair and exhibited proofs of his skill in architecture." 
 
 The last half of the eighteenth century was prolific in Masonic 
 dignities, degrees, rites and systems. Particularly is this true of 
 the continent of Europe, where the primitive conceptions of British
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 3 
 
 Freemasonry were expanded to the last stages of attenuation. An 
 unbridled license gave to every person so disposed an unlimited 
 privilege to manufacture dignities, titles and degrees at his pleasure, 
 and, as a consequence, a multitude of rites was invented. In the 
 main they all assumed to rest upon the primary symbolism of the 
 original three degrees, and to be expansions and developments of the 
 ancient craft legends. But superimposed upon the old and simple 
 usages of the mediaeval Masons was a vast mass of foreign matter 
 drawn from most divergent and incongruous sources. The occult 
 sciences, the Kabala, Hermeticism, Gnosticism, the Mithraic and 
 Eleusinian Mysteries, as well as the Chivalry of the Crusades, all 
 contributed to the general scheme and all were held to be a part of 
 the great arcana of Freemasonry. These systems, for the most 
 part, were highly ephemeral, and in many instances were outlived 
 by their projectors. A few, however, have shown a, wonderful per- 
 sistency of survival and now form the basis of modern rites and 
 orders administering the high degrees. 
 
 It is greatly to be regretted that the early historians of these 
 rites were not more concerned with stating the actual facts respect- 
 ing the genesis of their respective organizations, and less with seek- 
 ing fanciful derivations, and that fables should have been so insist- 
 ently maintained in the face of obvious truth. It is further to 
 be regretted that modern historians of the high degrees have not 
 adopted the methods of critical scholarship which so eminently 
 characterize the work of the students of the craft degrees; that so 
 much of their work should have been devoted to barren polemics 
 and so little to efforts of purely historical writing, and that on many 
 vital points they are so utterly at variance. The result has been 
 to leave the casual inquirer in doubt and uncertainty. 
 
 In the paragraphs immediately following an attempt has been 
 made to show, in brief epitome, the origin and development of the 
 Scottish Rite. The data are drawn wholly from writings approved 
 by both the Southern and Northern Supreme Councils and from 
 documents published by one or the other of those bodies. Where 
 accounts differ preference has been given to that which seems the 
 best authenticated. In no case has the writer advanced any views 
 of his own.
 
 4 HISTORY OF A/.A/. SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 From the received traditions it would seem that in the year 
 1758 a society was instituted in France, at the City of Paris, called 
 the "Council of Emperors of the East and West." This council, 
 out of the plenitude of its own power, immediately thereafter cre- 
 ated a new system of Freemasonry to which it gave the name "Rite 
 of Perfection." The new rite was divided into twenty-five degrees, 
 the last and highest of which was "Sublime Prince of the Royal 
 Secret." In 1761 the council deputized one Stephen Morin to 
 establish a lodge "in any of the four quarters of the world at which 
 he shall arrive or reside," to be named "Perfect Harmony," and so 
 to "multiply the Royal Order of Freemasons in all the perfect and 
 sublime degrees." By his charter of appointment, Morin was fur- 
 ther given "full and entire power to multiply and to create In- 
 spectors in every place where the sublime degrees are not estab- 
 lished." Armed with this authority he came to the Island of 
 Jamaica, where he is said to have created a number of Inspectors. 
 Among those so invested was Moses M. Hays, to whom also was 
 given the power of appointing Deputy Inspectors, whenever in his 
 judgment such a course should become necessary. Under this 
 power Hays appointed Isaac Da Costa a Deputy Inspector General 
 for South Carolina, and in the year 1783 the Rite was introduced 
 into that State by the establishment of a Lodge of Perfection at 
 Charleston. This lodge was the germ of the Ancient Accepted 
 Scottish Rite. 
 
 On December 4, 1802, a circular, signed by five brethren resid- 
 ing at Charleston, was issued to "all the Sublime and Symbolic 
 Grand Lodges throughout the two Hemispheres," announcing that 
 on "the 3 ist of May, 5801, the Supreme Council of the Thirty-third 
 degree for the United States of America was opened with the high 
 honors of Masonry, by Brothers John Mitchell and Frederick 
 Dalcho." There is no record, printed or written, of any system of 
 thirty-three degrees prior to the appearance of this circular. Where 
 Mitchell and Dalcho obtained their degrees we do not know. Be- 
 fore that time the twenty-five degrees of the Rite of Perfection were 
 alone recognized. By the organization of this Supreme Council, 
 therefore, a new Masonic rite was created. This seems to have 
 been accomplished by the fabrication or adoption of eight additional 
 degrees, the former dignity of Inspector being changed into a de-
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 185&-1907 5 
 
 gree for this purpose and made the apex of the Rite. From the 
 Council so organized has descended, directly or indirectly, all of 
 the Scottish Rite Masonry of the world. 
 
 In the year 1807, or about five years after the appearance of the 
 circular above mentioned, one Joseph Cerneau, a refugee from 
 Cuba, organized a "Grand Consistory" at the City of New York. 
 How or where he obtained his authority is immaterial at this time. 
 This body subsequently became known as the "Supreme Council 
 for the United States of America, its Territories and Depend- 
 encies." 
 
 In 1813, or about six years after the formation of the Cerneau 
 body, Emanuel De La Motta, representing the Supreme Council at 
 Charleston, organized a further governing body at New York to 
 which was given the name "Supreme Council for the Northern 
 Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States of America." Thus 
 there were two Supreme Councils struggling for supremacy in the 
 same territory. It would further seem that a bitter rivalry existed 
 between these two bodies and that a condition of open warfare char- 
 acterized their actions toward each other for a number of years. 
 Then came the anti-Masonic storm, before which both bodies went 
 down and for years we hear nothing concerning either of them. 
 But about 1850 there came a revival. Very weak at first, after the 
 long dormancy, but constantly gathering strength, until by the 
 year 1860 both councils had become practically rehabilitated. In 
 this latter year, however, a schism occurred in the Northern Su- 
 preme Council. A recital of the causes which led to this event is 
 unnecessary for the purposes of this sketch and these matters are 
 touched upon only because they are a part of the early history of 
 the Rite in the State of Illinois. It is sufficient to state that the 
 Commander, E. A. Raymond, was declared deposed from office; 
 that a new Commander, K. H. Van Rensselaer, was elected to suc- 
 ceed him; that Raymond, with his followers, refused to submit to 
 the deposal, and that, as a consequence, we thereafter find two 
 bodies, each claiming to be the lawful Supreme Council for the 
 Northern Jurisdiction. The old Cerneau Council was at this time 
 under the presidency of one E. B. Hays, and a fierce three-cor- 
 nered conflict was waged between the three Supreme Councils.
 
 6 HISTORY OF A.'.A.'.ScomsH RITE 
 
 In 1863 a truce was declared between the Raymond and Hays 
 Councils which finally resulted in their amalgamation. Each rec- 
 ognized the other as regular and legitimate; all faults and defects 
 of either were condoned and both became consolidated into one 
 new body called "Supreme Council of the A. A. Scottish Rite for 
 the United States of America, its Territories and Dependencies." 
 This council, a few years later, or, to be more exact, on October 
 22, 1865, changed its name to "Supreme Council for the Northern 
 Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States of America." Then 
 there were but two supreme councils, each, however, claiming to 
 be the only legal Scottish Rite organization in the Northern Juris- 
 diction. War continued to wage between these two bodies with 
 unabated fury until the year 1867, when, as the result of wise 
 counsels, they buried their differences, forgot their former animos- 
 ities, and by mutual agreement consolidated into one body under 
 the name and style "Supreme Council for the Northern Masonic 
 Jurisdiction of the United States." This is the body which at this 
 time occupies the territory originally assigned to the council insti- 
 tuted by De La Motta in 1813, and to which the bodies of the Rite 
 in Illinois are bound in fealty. 
 
 By the act of union each of the two councils gave up their 
 former separate existence to become constituent parts of the new 
 body, and from thenceforward there has been but one governing 
 body for the jurisdiction. From time to time attempts have been 
 made to organize and exploit spurious bodies claiming descent from 
 one or the .other of the old supreme councils above mentioned. The 
 pretensions of these spurious bodies have rested, in the main, upon 
 alleged irregularities in the consolidation proceedings and of in- 
 herent rights which, it is claimed, have never been surrendered by 
 the projectors. ,But while these matters have been productive of 
 much unpleasantness in other States, they have never been felt in 
 Illinois, and the incidents which have grown out of them form no 
 part of our history. To the student who desires to follow in detail 
 the Scottish Rite controversies, the five volumes of Masonic Polem- 
 ics now in the Library of Oriental Consistory will furnish a full 
 and explicit account, and to them he is referred. 
 
 The bodies of the Rite located in the City of Chicago are lineal 
 descendants from the two Supreme Councils which united in 1867
 
 VALLEY or CHICAGO, 1856-1907 
 
 to form the present Supreme Council, and, like the present Su- 
 preme Council, were formed by an amalgamation of two sets of 
 bodies that formerly had concurrent possession of the territory. 
 Whatever of legitimacy, authority, or worth that was possessed by 
 either or all of the old bodies has become ours by inheritance and 
 we hold, in all their fullness and by an indefeasible title, the exclu- 
 sive possession of the grades of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite 
 of Freemasonry.

 THE history of the early years of the Rite in the City of 
 Chicago is a sealed book, which no one at the present 
 time seems to be able to open. Little has come down to us 
 in writing; time has dimmed the memory of the few who survive, 
 while death has removed the majority of the witnesses who other- 
 wise might have furnished the information we desire. All of the 
 records of the old bodies were destroyed in the great fire of 1871, 
 and the scanty memoranda now extant shed but little light on the 
 conditions existing prior to that event. 
 
 From an entry in the records of the original Supreme Council 
 for the Northern Jurisdiction it would seem that an effort to locate 
 a body of the Rite in Chicago was made as early as 1846, as in that 
 year the Grand Commander was authorized to issue a charter for 
 a Lodge of Perfection to be held in this city. Beyond the mere 
 fact of such authorization, however, nothing is known. The rec- 
 ords of the Supreme Council do not show any execution of the 
 power thus given nor is there even an ancient tradition that such 
 a body was ever instituted. We may safely conclude, therefore, 
 that conditions were not favorable for the exercise of the Grand 
 Commander's authority, and that nothing was done under it. 
 
 Our next authentic data are also from the records of the same 
 Supreme Council, and occur in a report made to that body by K. H. 
 Van Rensselaer in the year 1857. It would seem that about this 
 time the growing interest in Freemasonry began to extend to the 
 higher degrees, and that the Craft at large were making inquiries

 with respect to the system known as the Scottish Rite, which there- 
 tofore had been in the possession and under the control of small and 
 select coteries. In view of these facts Bro. Van Rensselaer was 
 sent on a missionary tour through the West during the year 1856, 
 and one of the results of his labors was the planting of a set of 
 co-ordinate bodies of the Rite in Chicago. From his report we 
 learn that pursuant to orders from the Grand Commander he vis- 
 ited Chicago in the month of July, 1856, at which time he duly 
 elevated a requisite number of brethren to the rank of Sublime 
 Prince of the Royal Secret, and thereupon duly organized and con- 
 stituted them in a Lodge, Council, Chapter and Consistory of the 
 Ineffable and Sublime degrees of Freemasonry, with Charles R. 
 Starkweather as Commander in Chief. .Bro. Barnard, who has 
 made a diligent search through what is left of the old records, 
 says: 
 
 So far as it can be ascertained, the original members, admitted by Bro. 
 Van Rensselaer at the time of the organization in 1856, were : J. V. Z. Blaney, 
 George W. Deering, James E. Dalliba, Robert H. Foss, Wm. B. Herrick, E. 
 J. Higgins, Hosmer A. Johnson, Wm. W. Mitchell, Harman G. Reynolds, 
 Henry C. Ranney, Reuben Taylor and Charles R. Starkweather, the latter 
 having received the degrees at a previous date. 
 
 On May 14, 1857, charters were granted by the Supreme Coun- 
 cil to the various bodies so organized, under the distinctive names, 
 "Van Rensselaer Grand Lodge of Perfection," "Illinois Council 
 of Princes of Jerusalem," "Gourgas Chapter of Rose Croix, 
 H-R-D-M," and "Occidental Sovereign Consistory S. P. R. S.," 
 and then was commenced the Masonic life of the Rite in this valley 
 which has continued without interruption until today. 
 
 The original purport of the "high degrees" was superior knowl- 
 edge, and to render this effective it necessarily followed that mem- 
 bership was restricted and the mysterious arcana confined to the 
 select few. The new bodies at Chicago seem to have been imbued 
 with this idea and to have acted upon it. The active membership 
 was limited to thirty-two, although provision was made for emeritus 
 and honorary members. It was further provided in the by-laws, 
 that at least twenty-seven of the active members should be resi- 
 dents of the City of Chicago. There was no special limitation of 
 the number of honorary members, this matter being left to the dis
 
 10 HISTORY or A.'.A.'.ScoxxiSH RITE 
 
 cretion of the actives. It would seem, however, that the exclusive 
 character of the organization was, for a time at least, rigorously 
 maintained, for according to a report made in the year 1865, nearly 
 ten years after Van Rensselaer's first visit, the entire membership, 
 active, honorary and emeritus, was, at that time, only eighty-two. 
 Nor does it seem that honorary membership was of much value, be- 
 yond the mere fact of possession of the degrees and the incident 
 right of visitation. It conferred the doubtful privilege of a voice 
 in the deliberations, but the persons so admitted were wholly with- 
 out voting capacity in the business sessions and in the selection of 
 officers. Neither were they permitted to hold office themselves. 
 It may be that these onerous restrictions had much to do with the 
 poor showing in the early growth of the bodies. 
 
 Any active member who by reason of age, long service, "or 
 other good cause," chose to retire from active participation in "the 
 works," was permitted to "resign his seat," and thereupon to be- 
 come an emeritus member. An active member failing to pay dues 
 after two successive notices from the Grand Secretary thereby vir- 
 tually abdicated and relinquished his rights of membership, such 
 action being construed as a resignation. Nor could he ever be 
 reinstated as an active member unless by unanimous vote of all of 
 the actives, though he might be given the status of honorary mem- 
 bership, after payment of arrearages, by a majority vote of the 
 active members present. It would seem, also, that active members 
 were not permitted to shirk duties, for if one of them failed to 
 attend three consecutive sessions of the Consistory, without leave, 
 by such act he became an honorary member and his vacant seat 
 was immediately filled. In like manner, any officer failing to attend 
 three consecutive sessions, unless excused by the Consistory, was 
 considered as having resigned his office. Five active members con- 
 stituted a quorum for the transaction of business. 
 
 The triennial meeting for the election of officers was held on 
 the festival of St. John the Evangelist. Regular meetings were 
 held on the fourth Thursdays of February, April, June, August, 
 October, and on the 27th day of December in each year. 
 
 The degrees conferred in the Consistory, or rather the scale of 
 degrees over which it exercised jurisdiction, were, in titles at least, 
 much the same as at present. The 29th, now known as Knight of
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 11 
 
 St. Andrew, was then called "Patriarch of the Crusades." Other- 
 wise, the names were practically the same as those now employed. 
 
 During the stormy period of the Civil War, when men's minds 
 were centered largely on the Titanic struggle of the sections, Ma- 
 sonry generally, in all of its branches, suffered a decline. This 
 was particularly true of the higher degrees, and for several years 
 but little was done in the Preceptory of the Consistory. But with 
 the return of peace and the resumption of social relations an era 
 of marked prosperity set in, and the year 1865 may be taken as 
 the date of the first real advance of the Scottish Rite in the State 
 of Illinois. 
 
 Up to this time there had been but one set of bodies in the city. 
 It would have been well, perhaps, if this condition had continued, 
 but the fates had decreed otherwise. The consolidation of the two 
 Supreme Councils presided over by Raymond and Hays respect- 
 ively, as described in the preceding chapter, created a new and 
 strong Masonic power that sought for conquests in the West. The 
 result was the establishment, at the City of Chicago, of a second 
 Consistory and co-ordinate bodies and the inauguration of a season 
 of bitter antagonistic feeling, the effects of which were felt for 
 many years afterward. 
 
 The early records of the Supreme Councils, upon which we are 
 forced to rely for what little information we possess of Scottish 
 Rite origins in Chicago, are not very full or explicit. But from 
 these records, and the few traditions that have come down to us, 
 we find that about this time Bro. John Sheville made a tour of the 
 West as a missionary of the Raymond-Hays Supreme Council, 
 in much the same manner as Bro. Van Rensselaer had traversed 
 the territory some ten years before. Chicago seems to have been 
 one of his objective points, and while here he conferred the degrees 
 upon a number of brethren and thereupon instituted, not a series 
 of bodies but a subsidiary governing body which was known as the 
 "Grand Consistory of Illinois." The policy of the "Union Coun- 
 cil," as the Raymond-Hays body was called, was to plant a supe- 
 rior body, with limited governmental powers, in each State, and to 
 leave to this body, called a Grand Consistory, the task of propagat- 
 ing the Rite in its jurisdiction and of issuing charters to the bodies 
 which it might create. At a session of the Supreme Council held
 
 12 HISTORY OF A/.A/.SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 on Dec. 14, 1866, a charter was authorized to be issued to the 
 Grand Consistory of Illinois, to bear date as of the time of its insti- 
 tution. At the same time Bro. Walter A. Stevens was elected an 
 active member of the Supreme Council, while D. W. Thompson was 
 appointed its deputy for the State of Illinois. 
 
 The Grand Consistory of Illinois was organized with Walter 
 A. Stevens as Grand Commander in Chief, and the other offices 
 were filled by men whose names have become historic in the Ma- 
 sonic annals of the State. This body thereupon issued charters 
 of constitution for "Chicago Consistory," with John D. M. Carr 
 as Commander in Chief; for "Cceur de Leon Chapter of Rose 
 Croix"; for "Chicago Council, Princes of Jerusalem," and for 
 "Chicago Lodge of Perfection." At the same time co-ordinate 
 bodies were established at Monmouth, De Kalb, and Waukegan. 
 
 Thenceforward we find two opposing sets of Scottish Rite 
 bodies in Chicago, each claiming exclusive jurisdiction and each 
 asserting the only legitimate descent. The union of the two parent 
 Supreme Councils in 1867 served in some measure to remove all 
 questions of legitimacy, as each of these bodies recognized as reg- 
 ular and legitimate the progeny of the other, and whatever of con- 
 genital defect that may have once existed in either branch was effaced 
 and forgotten. But, notwithstanding that the parents had buried 
 their differences and united in one body all of the theretofore op- 
 posing factions, the children at Chicago refused to become recon- 
 ciled. Though both sets of bodies recognized the one Supreme 
 Council, and both were in its allegiance, yet, as between themselves 
 there was no compromise and each Consistory, with its co-ordinate 
 bodies, continued its separate existence as before. These condi- 
 tions, strange as it may now appear, lasted for a number of years 
 and during that period there was a state of affairs in the Scottish 
 Rite Masonry of Chicago that greatly resembled the "Wars of the 
 Roses." This warfare continued until the year 1871, when a union 
 was finally effected in the manner hereinafter described.
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 THE UNION. 
 
 DIFFERENCES OF THE RIVAL BODIES FIRST EFFORTS FOR RECONCILIATION AC- 
 TION OF SUPREME COUNCIL STORY OF THE RECONCILIATION ARTICLES OF 
 UNION THE MERGER THE CONSOLIDATED BODIES THE GREAT FlRE OF 
 1871 REVIVAL AND REORGANIZATION. 
 
 WHILE it is easy to understand why there should have been 
 two sets of Scottish Rite bodies in Chicago during the 
 time that rival Supreme Councils were claiming jurisdic- 
 tion over the territory, it is not so easy to understand why this 
 duality should have continued after the union of these Supreme 
 Councils in 1867, and after each of the co-ordinate bodies had 
 sworn allegiance to the new Supreme Council. Yet for four years 
 after the parent bodies had settled all their differences in an ami- 
 cable merger their progeny in Illinois continued to maintain a 
 separate existence, and, it would seem, with feelings of considerable 
 animosity toward each other. 
 
 The reasons for this strange condition of affairs were many, 
 although in the main trivial. Back of all was the old ingrained 
 prejudice which many of the members of the rival bodies enter- 
 tained for each other, a survival of the preceding period. The 
 general policy of the two bodies also exhibited great differences, 
 and these differences became strongly accentuated after the merger 
 of the parent Supreme Councils. One of these points of difference 
 was the field from which candidates were drawn, or the qualifica- 
 tions a person should possess before being permitted to petition 
 for the degrees. Thus, Occidental Consistory, pursuing its old- 
 time policy of exclusiveness, required all of its postulants to be 
 Knights Templar, and insisted that membership should be con- 
 fined to the ultra-select. Chicago Consistory, on the other hand, 
 conferred its degrees upon any one of good character who had 
 
 13
 
 14 HISTORY OF A/.A/. SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 attained the degree of Master Mason. This caused a constant fric- 
 tion between the bodies which eventually resulted in strained rela- 
 tions that threatened open rupture. 
 
 The first efforts looking toward a reconcilement and union were 
 made in the Supreme Council. At the annual session of the latter, 
 held in the year 1869, a resolution was adopted which, in general 
 terms, recommended to the Consistories of the various States under 
 its jurisdiction a consolidation of their respective bodies, "and 
 where it is desirable that more than one Consistory should exist, 
 that they should be as far removed from each other as possible." 
 This resolution paved the way for a merger had either side then 
 been willing to make concessions, but so strong and bitter was the 
 spirit of rivalry that neither would take the initiative, and it was 
 not until two years later that the project assumed definite shape. 
 
 During the year 1870 the ill feeling which existed between the 
 two Consistories seems to have reached an acute stage, which 
 threatened not only the present peace and harmony of the Rite but 
 endangered its future welfare. At this juncture wise counsels 
 came to allay the fever of the warring factions and it was proposed 
 to end, at once and forever, all disputes and contentions by a con- 
 solidation of all of the bodies, in pursuance of the resolution of the 
 Supreme Council. This was finally consummated in the following 
 year, and, as Bro. Barnard has said in his history, was "one of the 
 greatest and most momentous events in the history of these bodies." 
 
 The principal data for the story of the reconciliation are found 
 in a report made to the Supreme Council in 1871, by 111. Bro. Vin- 
 cent L. Hurlbut, the Deputy for Illinois. 
 
 From the report of Bro. Hurlbut we learn that on January 27, 
 1871, he convened the presiding officers of the several bodies of 
 the Rite at Chicago in a Council of Deliberation, for the purpose 
 of "devising some equitable plan to consolidate the several bodies, 
 with perfect harmony and fraternal feeling." The response to the 
 order was full and hearty. The general feeling was that all of the 
 unfortunate differences of the past should be buried; that the two 
 Consistories and their co-ordinate bodies should unite their strength 
 and influence by a consolidation, and as a basis for future work on 
 these lines the presiding officers of all of the bodies, together with the 
 Deputy, were appointed a committee to prepare "terms of union,"
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 15 
 
 with instructions to report the result of their labors at a future 
 called meeting of the Council. It was further decided, that if the 
 terms proposed should meet the approval of the Council, then the 
 Deputy was to request the presiding officers to call meetings of the 
 members of their respective bodies to act upon the proposition sub- 
 mitted. For the purpose of furthering the project and facilitating 
 the undertaking, a sub-committee was appointed to "perfect a plan 
 of consolidation." This committee, which may be regarded as the 
 sponsor of the present co-ordinate bodies, was composed of the 
 Illustrious Brethren, Reuben Cleveland and Gilbert W. Barnard 
 on the part of Chicago Consistory, and Henry C. Ranney and The- 
 odore T. Gurney on the part of Occidental Consistory. 
 
 The sub-committee met, deliberated, and finally agreed, that 
 there should be but one set of bodies of the Rite in Chicago, and 
 that a union of the two sets then claiming concurrent jurisdiction 
 should immediately be made. It was not considered necessary, 
 however, that both Consistories, as well as the other co-ordinate 
 bodies, should surrender their charters, and it was thought that the 
 union could be best accomplished by an absorption of the younger 
 bodies by the elder. The terms of union, in each case, to be agreed 
 upon and settled by a Conference Committee composed of members 
 of both bodies. 
 
 These conclusions were duly reported to an adjourned meeting 
 of the Council of Deliberation held on February 3, 1871, when they 
 were approved with slight modifications. By resolution of the 
 Council the several bodies were left free to act, each for itself, with- 
 out waiting for action by bodies of other grades, and in the event 
 of merger all past officers and members of the merging body were 
 to retain all of their former rights and privileges in the surviving 
 body. Immediately after the union should be effected the officers 
 of the surviving body were to resign their positions and the Com- 
 mittee of Conference was to present a list of names for the officers 
 to be elected by the consolidated body. In fact, everything was 
 done to perfect the "equitable plan" of consolidation proposed by 
 the Deputy at the initial meeting of the Council, and that, too, "with 
 perfect harmony and fraternal feeling." There were, however, a 
 few minor points involved in the plan upon which complete agree- 
 ment could not be reached. These arose, in the main, out of feel-
 
 16 ; HISTORY OF A.'.A.'.ScomsH RITE 
 
 ings of pride on the one hand and of prejudice on the other, by 
 certain members of the merging or younger bodies. Finally, a 
 happy solution to these vexed questions was presented by a project 
 for the re-naming of the consolidated Consistory and a juggling 
 of the name of one of the other bodies, the idea being to efface, as 
 far as possible, the distinctive features of prior existence and to 
 give to the consolidated bodies the appearance, at least, of new life. 
 This was accomplished by the passage of the following resolution: 
 
 Resolved, That it is essential to the prosperity of the A. . & A. . Rite, 
 that there should be but one Consistory, Chapter, Council and Lodge in this 
 city, and the Committee heartily recommend the union of Chicago Consistory 
 with Occidental Consistory; Coeur de Leon Sovereign Chapter with Gourgas 
 Chapter; Chicago Council with Illinois Council; Chicago Lodge with Van 
 Rensselaer Lodge, and that on the union of these respective Bodies an appli- 
 cation be made immediately to the Supreme Council for a change of the name 
 of Occidental Consistory to Oriental Consistory, and Illinois Council to Chi- 
 cago Council. 
 
 In pursuance of this action of the Council of Deliberation, and 
 upon the further request of the delegates thereto, the Deputy 
 thereupon notified all of the bodies to convene special meetings of 
 the members for the purpose of considering and acting upon the 
 proposed plan of consolidation. This was done. All of the bodies 
 adopted the recommendations of the Council, and all carried out, 
 in good faith, the plan as therein set forth. There were no dis- 
 sensions, no real opposition, but all worked unitedly and harmoni- 
 ously. Committees of Conference were appointed to arrange the 
 terms of merger as provided in the recommendations ; the "Chicago 
 Bodies," as they were called, surrendered their charters to the Dep- 
 uty and ceased to exist; the surviving bodies received all of the 
 members of the extinct bodies and the officers of such surviving 
 bodies then resigned; the united bodies then proceeded to fill the 
 vacant stations, choosing the officers alternately from the member- 
 ship as represented by the dual bodies before the merger. 
 
 The initial steps were taken in the Lodges of Perfection, both 
 of which met on March 24, 1871, at their respective halls, and then 
 effected a consolidation as above described. The same action was 
 subsequently had by the two Councils and the two Chapters, and 
 on April 27, 1871, the two Consistories formally ratified the pact

 PAST COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, OCCIDENTAL CONSISTORY.
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 17 
 
 by a fraternal union. Thus the merger became complete and from 
 thence hitherto there has been but one set of co-ordinate Scottish 
 Rite bodies in the City of Chicago. 
 
 While the action of the various bodies in thus effecting a con- 
 solidation was characterized by much unanimity of spirit, there 
 were yet some who refused to accept the new order of things and 
 who clung to the old forms. This became manifest in the Coun- 
 cil of Deliberation while negotiations for a union were still in prog- 
 ress. To enable all such persons to effect an honorable retreat in 
 the event of a merger the Council adopted the following : 
 
 Resolved, That should a majority of each of the A. . & A. . Rite 
 Bodies vote to unite, that each and every member of each, who may not wish 
 to become a member of the Consolidated Body or Bodies, who may be in good 
 and regular standing, may be permitted to dimit from the respective Body or 
 Bodies to which they may belong, after the vote of union has passed. 
 
 Acting upon this resolution it would seem that a large num- 
 ber of the members of both branches of the Rite dimitted, a 
 circumstance that materially reduced the membership of the con- 
 solidated bodies. The withdrawals also had a depressing effect upon 
 many of those who remained, while their deterrent influence on 
 prospective candidates still further tended, in some measure, to 
 impede progress. But the general feeling was good and the inci- 
 dents just mentioned were not of sufficient moment to cause serious 
 trouble. The future seemed bright and full of promise, and then 
 came the devastating fire of Oct. 9, 1871, and with it a momentary 
 suspension of the Masonic life of the city. 
 
 From the standpoint of the historian the loss occasioned by the 
 Great Fire is irreparable. All of the records, charters, and other 
 historic memoranda, both of the original and consolidated bodies, 
 were utterly consumed. No subsequent efforts were made to re- 
 store them, and not until a majority of the chief actors in the early 
 drama had passed away did the enormity of the loss which had been 
 sustained become apparent. Occasionally, as the student of the 
 Craft pursues his investigations among the debris of those forgot- 
 ten years, something of value is unearthed, but thus far the finds 
 have been few and unimportant.
 
 18 HISTORY OF A.'.A/. SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 While the fire seemed for the moment to have paralyzed the 
 Masonic energy of the city, yet such paralysis was momentary 
 only. As would naturally be expected the recuperative spirit was 
 first manifested by the Craft Lodges, but the higher bodies were 
 also quick to respond to the general feeling of the community for 
 a new and greater Chicago. This was particularly the case with 
 respect to the bodies of the Scottish Rite, and on Nov. 29, 1871, a 
 meeting of the Chiefs was held at the office of the Deputy "for the 
 purpose of taking action in the matter of reorganization of the sev- 
 eral bodies of the Rite." After a full discussion of the situation 
 the following action was taken: 
 
 Resolved, As the sense of the Presiding Officers of the A. & A. *. Rite 
 bodies, all being present, that it is most desirable to reorganize the several 
 bodies as soon as possible. 
 
 Resolved, That as soon as we can, we should hold our meetings on the 
 nights of the regular meetings, as provided for by the By-Laws. 
 
 Resolved, That in the absence of work at the regular meetings of the 
 several bodies, some Brother be requested to prepare a lecture or essay ap- 
 pertaining to the A. . & A. . Rite. 
 
 Resolved, That we recommend to our several bodies the appointment of 
 committees, with power to act, to procure permanent quarters on the "South 
 Side" of the city, and as near our old quarters as possible. 
 
 Resolved, That the Secretary of this meeting furnish to the several bodies 
 of the A. . & A. . Rite of Chicago, a copy of the foregoing Resolutions, so 
 that the committees on reconstruction may be appointed, and the work of re- 
 organization go on as speedily as possible. 
 
 In pursuance of the foregoing resolutions temporary quarters 
 were secured on the "South Side," in a hall at Twenty-third street 
 and Cottage Grove avenue, where the work of "reorganization" 
 was vigorously prosecuted. Then for a period the West Chicago 
 Masonic Temple at Halsted and West Randolph streets was 
 their place of shelter, until finally, on the completion of the Ma- 
 sonic apartments in the American Express Building, No. 78 Monroe 
 street, they removed thither and, with but one brief interruption, 
 this continued to be their home for many years. 
 
 In 1893 the bodies vacated the quarters they had so long occu- 
 pied at 78 Monroe street, and moved to a set of apartments spe- 
 cially prepared for them in the then recently erected Masonic
 
 19 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 
 
 Temple, located at State and Randolph streets. The new rooms, 
 however, were not in all respects satisfactory, neither were they 
 adapted to the requirements of the constantly augmenting ranks of 
 the Consistory. As a consequence, after a few years' occupation, 
 it was decided to seek other and better accommodations. These 
 were eventually secured by the purchase of the property located 
 at 2 93~5 Dearborn avenue, and the erection thereon of the present 
 commodious halls. And so, after half a century of wandering, the 
 bodies are at last housed in a permanent home of their own.
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 ORIENTAL CONSISTORY. 
 
 THE CONSOLIDATED BODY RE-CHARTERED REAL COMMENCEMENT OF CORPORATE 
 LIFE EFFECT OF THE GREAT FIRE GROWTH IN MEMBERSHIP AND GAINS IN 
 MONEY COMPARISONS WITH OTHER BODIES OF THE RITE PRESENT CON- 
 DITIONS. 
 
 ON the sixteenth day of November, 1871, just five weeks after 
 the Great Fire and while the bodies of the Rite were still sit- 
 ting sorrowful amid the ashes of their former home, the 
 Supreme Council met at the City of Boston, and, among other 
 things, granted a charter for a new body to be located at the City 
 of Chicago under the title of "Oriental Consistory." The warrant 
 of authority ran to the Illustrious Brethren, George W. Deering, 
 Charles R. Starkweather, William B. Herrick, James V. Z. Blaney, 
 Robert H. Foss, James E. Dalliba and Hosmer A. Johnson, "with 
 their future legal associates and successors." But while the charter 
 bears date as of November 16, 1871, and in general terms purports 
 to be a warrant for the organization of a new body, yet, in effect, 
 it is only a charter of confirmation. This fact is further recognized 
 by a clause of the charter itself which recites : 
 
 And we do hereby declare the precedence of said Oriental Consistory to 
 commence from the twentieth day of Sivan, A.'. M.-. 5617, answering to 
 the fourteenth day of May, A. D. 1857, hereby ratifying and confirming all 
 constitutional acts heretofore done by said Consistory. 
 
 Endorsed upon the charter is the following: 
 
 This warrant of authority is issued by the SUPREME COUNCIL, A. . A. '-. 
 S. . Rite, for the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, U. S.A., as a substitute for that 
 by the authority of which, the body named herein was constituted, bearing 
 date May 14, 1857, and which was destroyed by fire October 9, 1871. 
 
 20
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 21 
 
 By whom this endorsement was made does not appear, but it 
 undoubtedly expresses the true purport of the charter, which was, 
 not to create a new consistory but to continue the existence of the 
 original organization under a new name. Such being the case, then 
 the body now known as Oriental Consistory will have completed 
 the first semi-centenary of its existence on May 14, 1907, and it is 
 to commemorate this event that the writer has prepared the present 
 sketch. 
 
 But while the official life of Oriental Consistory, by that name, 
 commenced on November 16, 1871, its potential existence must be 
 dated from the day of the Union, which was April 27, 1871, or a 
 little more than six months before the new charter issued. On the 
 evening of this last mentioned day both of the old Consistories met, 
 pursuant to the agreement theretofore made by the Conference 
 Committees. Chicago Consistory surrendered its charter to the 
 Deputy, and thereupon presented a list of the names of its members, 
 all of whom were immediately received in full fellowship by Occi- 
 dental Consistory. The officers of Occidental Consistory then re- 
 signed their several stations and the Deputy ordered a new election. 
 At this election Bro. Henry C. Ranney became the Commander in 
 Chief and notwithstanding that the election was held in Occidental 
 Consistory, yet inasmuch as no change was made in the official 
 staff after the issuance of the new charter he is classed as the first 
 Commander of Oriental Consistory. 
 
 We are informed by some of the old timers that the consolida- 
 tion, beneficial as it may have been, did not entirely allay the bitter 
 feelings that former years had engendered, and that a number from 
 both sections of the Consistory voluntarily severed their connection 
 with the Rite. But these defections, while slightly reducing the 
 membership, were not sufficient to appreciably retard the progress 
 of the body nor impair the good results of the union. The practice 
 of weekly meetings, which had been inaugurated by Chicago Con- 
 sistory, was continued by the consolidated body; the enthusiasm of 
 the members was communicated to the Craft generally and large 
 numbers began to present themselves for the honors of the Scottish 
 Rite; the officers were zealous, the rank and file harmonious, and 
 everything betokened an era of unexampled prosperity, when the
 
 22 HISTORY OF A.'.A.'.ScoTTisn RITE 
 
 Great Fire of Oct. 9, 1871, interrupted the work and for a time 
 paralyzed the energies of the workmen. But this interruption, as 
 has been shown, was momentary only, and its effects were soon dis- 
 pelled. Regular meetings were resumed within a few weeks there- 
 after, and from that time until the present the advance has been 
 steady and continuous. 
 
 While all of the years show gains and all were prosperous, if we 
 shall regard prosperity only in the sense of numerical increase and 
 treasury balances, yet we may observe marked differences from 
 time to time as the Rite became better known and its purposes more 
 fully understood. The first ten years witnessed a slow but steady 
 growth. From 1880 to 1890 this growth became greatly accel- 
 erated and the classes at the semi-annual conventions constantly 
 gained in size. From 1890 to 1900 the advance was by leaps and 
 bounds, and during the present decennium the increase has been 
 greater than at any time in our history. Nor do the portents for 
 the future point to any loss of interest in Scottish Rite Masonry 
 on the part of the Craft in general, or to any diminution of the 
 numbers that will continue to apply for a participation in our labors. 
 There are those who see, or affect to see, an element of weakness 
 in our constantly augmenting numbers, and who are urging a return 
 to the more conservative and exclusive methods that characterized 
 the early years of Occidental Consistory before the merger. But, 
 beyond a little crowding on certain occasions, no bad results are thus 
 far apparent. The body, notwithstanding its size, has not become 
 unwieldly, neither is it likely to become so, and even if it shall so 
 happen that it will eventually attain such proportions as to preclude 
 a general attendance at all sessions, we may yet rely on the wisdom 
 of the elders to provide a suitable remedy. 
 
 And now that we are upon the subject of growth a brief com- 
 parison of present conditions with those of former years may not 
 be out of place. Concerning the affairs of the bodies prior to the 
 Great Fire of 1871, we know but little. The policy of Occidental 
 Consistory was very exclusive, and from a report made in 1865, 
 nearly ten years after its organization, it appears that the entire 
 membership was only eighty-two. No figures are at hand to show 
 the membership of the consolidated Consistory in 1871, but from 
 the time of the Great Fire until the present the annual reports show
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 23 
 
 constantly augmenting numbers. The triennial period of 1882-84 
 seems to have been the real commencement of rapid increase and 
 at the end of that term the officers "pointed with pride" to the fact 
 that during the time 335 new members had been added to the roll, 
 making a grand total of 710 members in good standing. In 1887, 
 at the end of the succeeding triennial term, the list had increased 
 to 1,034, and on December 25, 1906, the date of the last report, the 
 books showed that 4,213 persons were enrolled under the banner 
 of Oriental Consistory. 
 
 At the time of the Great Fire, in 1871, the co-ordinate bodies, 
 then but recently consolidated, are reported to have had well-ap- 
 pointed apartments, for those days, in the old Masonic Temple on 
 Dearborn street. The fire, however, wiped out everything and the 
 loss was total. At the resumption, after the fire, the bodies started 
 with nothing. Nor does it seem that the treasury balances were 
 very plethoric for a number of years thereafter. During the official 
 term of 111. Bro. H. H. Pond, Commander in Chief, there was a 
 marked increase in the number of admissions and a consequent 
 increase in the treasury balance. But this balance was not only 
 offset but actually changed into a deficit by the expenses entailed 
 in fitting up new quarters at 78 Monroe street in the year 1884. 
 The reports at the end of that year showed that all of the money in 
 the treasury had been expended and that, in addition, a debt of 
 $2,714.00 had been contracted, and it was. not until 1887 that the 
 last of this debt was paid. Since this latter year the Consistory has 
 made steady financial gains and from the report of the Grand Sec- 
 retary to the annual meeting of 1906 we learn that there was then 
 in the treasury sufficient cash to pay all outstanding obligations, 
 leaving unincumbered assets amounting in the aggregate to $205,- 
 197.48. 
 
 A comparison of the Chicago bodies with those of other cities, 
 both in the Southern and Northern Jurisdictions, reveals the pleas- 
 ing fact that Oriental Consistory is, in point of numbers, the largest 
 Scottish Rite organization in the world ; that it leads all of its com- 
 petitors by a safe margin, and that its annual increase far exceeds 
 that of any other. From these facts and in view of the ample field 
 from which it draws its recruits, may we not safely predict that the 
 premiership now held will be long retained?
 
 24 HISTORY or A.'.A/.ScomsH RITE 
 
 It will thus be seen that Oriental Consistory closes its first semi- 
 centennial period strong in men and money ; that it possesses one of 
 the finest buildings in the country devoted to Scottish Rite Ma- 
 sonry; that it has no internal dissensions and that it is enjoying, as 
 never before, the respect, esteem and confidence of the Ancient 
 Craft from which its members are chosen.

 WHERE a Masonic body of any degree possesses no legisla- 
 tive powers, has no subordinates, and no function save 
 the perpetuation of its own existence by the reception of 
 new members, it necessarily follows that but scant material is af- 
 forded for the reviewer's pen. Particularly is this true where the 
 body has for many years moved quietly along in its accustomed 
 grooves, with no interruptions from either without or within. And 
 such has been the history of Oriental Consistory and its co-ordinate 
 bodies from the time of the union. The incidents and episodes 
 which the historian has deemed worthy of mention will, to many, 
 perhaps, seem trivial and insignificant, and yet, in their day, and to 
 the brethren who were participants, they were considered of much 
 moment. From their nature they must necessarily be treated in a 
 desultory manner and because of the limitations of the present work 
 such treatment must further be general and brief. 
 
 One of these incidents occurred in the year 1872, or rather had 
 its inception in that year, whereby the ranks of the Consistory were 
 considerably augmented by the practical absorption of two other 
 organizations. Among the charters issued by the old Grand Con- 
 sistory of Illinois were a series for the establishment of co-ordinate 
 bodies at the City of Monmouth in Warren County. 
 
 The Monmouth bodies flourished for a brief period and at 
 first gave promise of a successful future. .But later on, when the 
 available material had been worked up and the limited sources of 
 supply no longer furnished candidates, the inevitable decay set in. 
 
 25
 
 26 HISTORY OF A. -.A.'. SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 Deeming it impossible to longer continue the organizations to ad- 
 vantage, the Consistory and Chapter voted to surrender their char- 
 ters and consolidate with Oriental Consistory and Gourgas Chapter 
 at Chicago. The result was a large accession to the membership of 
 the Chicago bodies, although it was not until 1875 that the Mon- 
 mouth charters were formally revoked. 
 
 During the early part of the year 1872 Carson Consistory, at 
 Springfield, passed a like resolution. The conditions at Springfield, 
 however, were not in all respects the same as at Monmouth. There 
 was an ample territory from which to draw candidates, and but 
 for the explanation which was furnished to the Council of Delibera- 
 tion by the Chiefs of Carson Consistory the action would seem in- 
 explicable. It will be remembered that the policy of all of the Con- 
 sistories chartered by the Grand Consistory of Illinois was to make 
 the Master Mason degree the Masonic qualification of candidates. 
 This policy was continued by them after the union of the two Su- 
 preme Councils, and was one of the potent causes of friction be- 
 tween Occidental and Chicago Consistories. Carson Consistory, at 
 Springfield, continued to pursue this course. This, it seems, was 
 hotly resented by the Knights Templar of the City, who finally as- 
 sumed an attitude of open hostility to the Scottish Rite. A short 
 time before the above mentioned action was taken the Consistory 
 had suffered a total loss by fire of its paraphernalia and properties, 
 and in view of these circumstances the Chiefs decided that it would 
 be unwise to continue the organizations, as they were in no con- 
 dition to operate them in evident hostility to the Templars. Of 
 course, there is and can be, no real antagonism between the bodies 
 of the York and Scottish Rite, as there is no conflict of principle. 
 But, economic reasons, purely financial, may sometimes be found 
 by those so desiring and when analyzed this seems to have been the 
 real matter of difference between Carson Consistory and the Tem- 
 plars. The consolidation, however, did not take place, although this 
 course was recommended by the Council of Deliberation. The Con- 
 sistory was permitted to continue its organization and to effect, if 
 possible, a reconciliation with conflicting interests. This, however, 
 it was unable to do and two years later, in 1874, its charter was 
 revoked by the Supreme Council. At this latter time a large por-
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 27 
 
 tion of its membership affiliated with Oriental Consistory and thus 
 was indirectly accomplished the thing intended by the resolution of 
 1872. 
 
 In 1873 the Consistory adopted the present regulation uniform 
 and its first public appearance was in November of that year, when 
 it tendered an escort to the Supreme Council upon the occasion of 
 its first session in Chicago. It must not be understood, however, 
 that this period marks the beginning of the employment of uniforms 
 and the adoption of military usages in the bodies of the Scottish 
 Rite. Very soon after its organization Chicago Consistory devised 
 a semi-military dress for its members and on several occasions, 
 prior to the merger, had appeared upon the streets and at public 
 functions wearing the new garb. Indeed, this was one of the vital 
 points .of difference between the rival Consistories. After the merger 
 the use of uniforms was sanctioned by the Supreme Council, and 
 in 1873, 'as above stated, the present regulation dress was adopted 
 by the new or consolidated Consistory. 
 
 So far as the writer is able to learn, the idea of a uniform, as well 
 as the adoption of military tactics, originated in Chicago. Certain 
 it is that Chicago Consistory was the first body of the Rite in either 
 hemisphere to equip its members in this manner, and while the 
 primal impulse must undoubtedly be sought in the military charac- 
 ter of the thirty-second degree, yet its practical development is due 
 to the ardor and enthusiasm of the Princes of this Consistory. 
 
 It would seem that upon its introduction the new departure met 
 with much favor. The intense military spirit engendered by the 
 Civil War had not yet subsided and for many men there was an 
 irresistible fascination in plumes, swords, and the other habiliments 
 of the soldier. At all events, the Princes, generally, equipped them- 
 selves with the prescribed clothing, weapons and insignia. It would 
 also seem that for some time thereafter the military spirit continued 
 to manifest itself in public parades for escort and other duties. But 
 for a number of years past there has been a constantly growing 
 sentiment against public displays of any kind, and particularly against 
 those which involve parades and uniforms and the mimicry of mili- 
 tary usages. It is now conceded by the majority of the Craft, that, 
 however desirable these things may have been, the day for such 
 adjuncts is long past. The rapid growth and multiplication of
 
 28 HISTORY OF A.'.A.'.ScoxxiSH RITE 
 
 imitative societies; the ostentatious manner in which they present 
 themselves to the public, clad in semi-military garb; the decline of 
 the old-time military fervor, and the increased attention bestowed 
 upon the liturgic features of Masonry, have all combined to create 
 a revulsion of feeling. This feeling has been markedly shown in 
 the Consistory, and to this, in some measure, we must attribute 
 present conditions, though it would seem that at all times the es- 
 sential differences in the organization of the Scottish Rite, as com- 
 pared with the Chivalric Orders, as well as the number and exalted 
 character of its degrees, has tended to keep the military features 
 in strict subordination to those of the liturgy. 
 
 At the present time all interest in the uniform seems to have 
 died out. Its employment, in the main, is confined to the exem- 
 plification of the thirty-second grade, and it is worn, as a rule, 
 only by the officers actually engaged in the work. 
 
 But while the military spirit was still in the ascendant, and while 
 this spirit was finding vent in parades, escorts, and other functions 
 of a public nature, a movement was started looking toward the 
 "alteration and improvement" of the present standard. The move- 
 ment seems to have originated in Boston but soon spread to Chi- 
 cago, where it was eagerly supported by the military enthusiasts. 
 That the movement must have acquired considerable impetus is 
 shown in the fact that it received the attention of the Council of 
 Deliberation at its meeting in 1877, when a resolution was passed 
 approving the present uniform and requesting the Supreme Coun- 
 cil to permit no change. Soon after this the decline in military 
 interest set in and for many years the topic has remained quiescent. 
 
 Not the least among the many pleasing incidents of the past 
 are the excursions which from time to time have been made to 
 other cities. These little jaunts are noted in our records as "pil- 
 grimages," but why they should have been given this name is not 
 very apparent. In all probability the term was borrowed from the 
 usages of the Knights Templar, where it has long been employed 
 in this improper sense. 
 
 The first of these so-called "pilgrimages" occurred in the year 
 1876 when the Consistory tendered a military escort to the Su- 
 preme Council on the occasion of its annual session at New York. 
 The Princes had then but lately been equipped with their new uni-
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 20 
 
 forms and the martial spirit was in the ascendency. A vent for 
 the military enthusiasm was required, and a foreign campaign of 
 invasion and conquest seemed desirable if not necessary. But this 
 was a new experience for the staid and decorous Scottish Rite 
 and a marked departure from the conservative standards it had 
 so long maintained. Hence, the Grand Commander, desirous of 
 pleasing the Chicago contingent but unwilling to compromise the 
 Supreme Council, accepted the tender for himself only, although in 
 the end it resolved itself into an escort for the entire body. It 
 seems, however, that the affair did not pass without a demur on the 
 part of many, who feared that it was but the commencement of a 
 series of spectacular public displays such as characterize the tri- 
 ennial meetings of the Grand Encampment. But notwithstanding 
 that the Chicago Princes went down to New York with drums beat- 
 ing and banners flying, incidentally capturing the town as well as 
 the Supreme Council, .the fears of the timid have not yet material- 
 ized and the annual sessions of the governing body are still con- 
 ducted with the peace and decorum that ever have constituted its 
 distinguishing features. 
 
 The visit seems to have been a very pleasing occasion to all 
 parties concerned, while the pleasure was further augmented for 
 the Chicagoans by a side trip to Philadelphia, where the great Cen- 
 tennial Exposition was then in progress. At Philadelphia the Con- 
 sistory was the guest of Philadelphia Consistory, the Princes of 
 which were lavish with hospitalities and knightly courtesies. On 
 their return home these courtesies were duly acknowledged by the 
 Orientals in an engrossed resolution of thanks, and a splendid ban- 
 ner of the Order was sent to Philadelphia Consistory as a memorial 
 of the visit. 
 
 In 1878 a similar pilgrimage was made to the City of Milwaukee, 
 where the Consistory again performed the duties of a guard of 
 honor at the meeting of the Supreme Council. In 1883 the same 
 service was rendered at Cincinnati, and again in 1890 at Cleveland. 
 From none other of its subordinate bodies has the Supreme Coun- 
 cil so often received an escort, and notwithstanding its professed 
 conservative character it does not seem that it has ever taken unkind- 
 ly to them.
 
 30 HISTORY OF A. \A. '.SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 An interesting incident of the Cincinnati pilgrimage above men- 
 tioned, was a side trip to Louisville where an inspection was had 
 of the Widows' and Orphans' Home of Kentucky. So impressed 
 were the pilgrims with the beneficent work of that institution that 
 a voluntary contribution taken at the time netted the sum of $500.00, 
 while on their return to Chicago a further formal appropriation of 
 $500.00 was made from the funds of the Consistory. These two 
 sums, amounting in the aggregate to $1,000.00, seem to have been 
 the first moneys given in aid of organized charity and were the 
 precursors of the munificent donation of $5,000.00, made a few 
 years later, to aid the work of the Illinois Masonic Home of Chi- 
 cago. 
 
 In addition to these excursions for escort duty the Consistory 
 has made a number of friendly visits to near-by neighbors. In 1882 
 there was an excursion to Peoria, 111., the special object of which 
 was to assist in the laying of the corner-stone of a new Masonic 
 Temple. In 1894 the visit was repeated, and upon each occasion 
 the Princes returned highly delighted with the trip and with the 
 attentions received from Peoria Consistory. On Feb. 14, 1883, a 
 friendly visit was paid to DeWitt Clinton Consistory of Grand 
 Rapids, Mich., and at many other times detachments of Oriental's 
 Princes have unofficially visited the Consistories of surrounding 
 States and thus renewed the bonds of good fellowship for which this 
 Rite of Freemasonry is so justly famed. 
 
 The event of the year 1884 was the opening and occupation 
 of the new Preceptory at No. 78 Monroe street. The apartments 
 had been fitted up at large expense with a view to a permanent home 
 for the bodies, and the feeling was general that at last quarters 
 had been secured that were not only adequate for any emer- 
 gency, but would endure for all time. Indeed, it is doubtful 
 whether, at the time of its dedication, it was equaled by any 
 Scottish Rite hall in the country, and it certainly was surpassed 
 by none. The Preceptory chamber was lofty and spacious, the 
 ornamentation rich and lavish and the furnishings of the most 
 approved types. A stage of ample proportions, with all necessary 
 adjuncts, afforded opportunity for effective workings theretofore 
 impossible, while other special features permitted the introduction 
 of many devices for augmenting the beauty and sublimity of the
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 . 31 
 
 ritual. A pipe organ of great power and sweetness faced the stage 
 at the opposite end of the chamber, and the lighting was so disposed 
 as to produce rich, harmonious and ofttimes startling effects. A 
 marked departure in Masonic hall construction was a balcony on 
 three sides of the apartment, the first of its kind in the West, if 
 not in the United States. 
 
 The rooms used in connection with the Preceptory were all in 
 keeping with the ideas expressed in that apartment and were fur- 
 nished in the same good taste and lavish manner. These rooms 
 remained the home of the Consistory for about ten years and when 
 they were finally abandoned under stress of circumstances there 
 were many of the old-timers that left them with a pang of regret. 
 In fact, even at this day and in view of the palatial surroundings 
 of our present magnificent quarters, there are still many who feel 
 and say, there is no place that can compare with our old home. 
 
 While the Consistory has often tendered its services as an es- 
 cort on the occasion of funerals of its members, it is a fact not 
 generally known, to the younger members at least, that it also 
 possesses an elaborate funeral ritual of its own. The Supreme 
 Council has never promulgated a burial service for members of 
 the Rite, nor have its constituents, as a rule, taken kindly to the 
 idea. But even as the Chicago bodies set the pace in the matter 
 of uniforms, so also it remained for them to inaugurate the practice 
 of Scottish Rite funerals. In the year 1884 the late distinguished 
 Brother, Norman T. Cassette, composed and copyrighted a full ritual 
 for a funeral ceremony to be employed at the obsequies of members 
 of the Order. This compilation, together with the copyright, he 
 subsequently presented to Oriental Consistory and on Sept. 2, 
 1884, it was duly adopted as the official ceremony of the Consistory 
 in the conduct of funerals under its auspices. The service is com- 
 posed in blank verse of much poetic beauty, but, although generally 
 admired for its literary excellence, it has never been very popular 
 and is now but seldom employed. 
 
 The idea of a special funeral service for the Consistory seems, 
 like that of the uniforms, to have been borrowed from the Tem- 
 plars. Just why the simple and time-honored service for the burial 
 of a Master Mason is not all-sufficient for those who desire Ma- 
 sonic burial or for the friends who survive the deceased, is not
 
 32 HISTORY OF A/.A/.ScomsH RITE 
 
 very apparent. With the Templars it was rejected because it did 
 not possess Christian characteristics. For this reason certain ultra 
 devout brethren residing in New York, and who, it would seem, 
 did not consider the offices of the Church adequate, constructed the 
 present Templar service in order that deceased members of the 
 Order of the Temple might be given a "Christian burial." The 
 service was subsequently adopted by the Grand Encampment and 
 ordered to be used by the subordinate commanderies. Its employ- 
 ment by these bodies led to a desire for a similar service in the Con- 
 sistory and this desire was eventually gratified by the scholarly 
 work of Bro. Cassette. There is, however, a deep seated conviction 
 in the minds of many eminent members of both the Temple and 
 Consistory, that the adoption and use in those grades of a funeral 
 ceremony is a direct invasion of the immemorial rights which per- 
 tain to the Master's degree, and that the use of such ceremony is 
 but a garish display and wholly without symbolic significance. In 
 this belief the writer fully shares and further feels that the dignity 
 of the Chivalric grades is better subserved by escort duty only, 
 leaving the ceremonies of sepulture to the Lodge. This course 
 also is in keeping with the ancient traditions of the Orders. 
 
 One of the incidents of our history, if indeed it does not rise 
 to the dignity of an episode, occurred during the year 1887, and 
 consisted of the formation of an auxiliary organization in a neigh- 
 boring city. At that time there were residing in or near the city 
 of Danville about thirty Princes who had obtained investiture in 
 Oriental Consistory. The policy of the Supreme Council was then 
 averse to the multiplication of bodies, but the Danville Princes were 
 ardent and enthusiastic and a vent was needed. This was supplied 
 by 111. Bro. Alfred Russell, the Commander in Chief, who instituted 
 a new and wholly unique experiment. He organized the Princes 
 into a "camp," which he called Danville Camp, and committed to 
 their charge the ritual of the Nineteenth Grade, with the special 
 privilege of its exemplification. The experiment proved eminently 
 successful, and at the Fall Convention of that year the "camp" 
 worked the degree to the entire satisfaction of the members of the 
 Consistory as well as the edification of a large and appreciative class 
 of candidates. The event is noteworthy for two reasons; first, it 
 was the first time that the degree had ever been conferred in
 
 VINCENT L. HURLBUT, 33, 
 
 PAST COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, OCCIDENTAL CONSISTORY.
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 33 
 
 Oriental Consistory, and second, the only degree that has ever been 
 exemplified by a body of workers residing outside of Chicago and 
 holding no official positions. From this circumstance, probably, we 
 may trace the movement that finally culminated in the organization 
 of Danville Lodge of Perfection. 
 
 During the entire fifty years of the existence of the Consistory 
 the regular succession of Commanders in Chief has been but once 
 disturbed by death. With this exception all of the elected Com- 
 manders have duly served their respective terms of office and 
 retired from their posts with the laurels of past rank. 
 At the regular triennial election held on December 22, 1887, 111. 
 Bro. George R. McClellan was elected Commander, an office 
 which he continued to acceptably fill until Jan. 10, 1890, when he 
 died, leaving almost a year of his term still pending. The con- 
 stitutions of the Supreme Council direct that in an emergency of 
 this kind the next officer in rank shall assume the office and exercise 
 the prerogatives of the deceased Commander. This was done in 
 the case under review and 111. Bro. George M. Moulton, then First 
 Lieutenant, duly succeeded to the office and performed the duties of 
 Commander for the residue of the term. 
 
 Toward the close of the 8o's the membership of the Consistory 
 had grown to such proportions and the classes at the semi-annual 
 conventions had attained such size, that the accommodations of the 
 Monroe Street Preceptory were felt to be inadequate. Larger and 
 better quarters were desired and the idea of a "cathedral" was even 
 then nascent in the minds of many. But the realization of this idea 
 was still far in the future and another period of temporary residence 
 must intervene before the true "home" project was finally to ma- 
 terialize. About this time the late Norman T. Cassette came forward 
 with a plan for a colossal building, to be erected primarily for com- 
 mercial purposes, in which all of the Masonic bodies meeting in the 
 business district could find accommodations. Notwithstanding the 
 magnitude of the enterprise and the immense cost at which it was to 
 be carried out, the project met with much favor in many directions. 
 The Consistory, as a prospective tenant, subscribed for $25,000.00 
 worth of the stock of the building company and later entered into 
 a lease of space, where, it was said, would be provided the "finest 
 Masonic apartments in the world." In due time the building was
 
 34 HISTORY OF A/.A/.ScoxTisH RITE 
 
 completed and now constitutes tKe massive structure located at State 
 and Randolph streets, popularly known as the "Masonic Temple." 
 
 In the month of May, 1893, the Consistory moved into its new 
 quarters in the Masonic Temple. The general impression was one 
 of disappointment. The building had been constructed for commer- 
 cial purposes and however well adapted for such purposes did not 
 meet the requirements of well appointed Masonic halls. For another 
 ten years, however, this was destined to be the home of the Consis- 
 tory and its co-ordinate bodies, and during this period and in these 
 quarters were developed many of the beautiful liturgic features that 
 now characterize the esoteric work. But almost from the begin- 
 ning of the occupation there was a spirit of unrest ; a desire for some- 
 thing better. This spirit intensified as the ranks continued to aug- 
 ment and the congestion increased, until finally a bold experiment 
 by the organization known as the Mystic Shrine led the way to a 
 realization of the long delayed hope of a "permanent home." Of 
 this, later. 
 
 The year 1893 is memorable for many things but particularly 
 from the fact that in this year occurred the World's Columbian Ex- 
 position. This circumstance brought many strangers to our doors, 
 visitors being present from all parts of the earth. At a stated ren- 
 dezvous of the Consistory, held June 25, 1891, an effort was made 
 to provide in some measure for visiting members of the Rite. A 
 committee was appointed to create and disburse a special fund to be 
 raised by voluntary subscriptions, the fund to be employed in such 
 form of entertainment as would "be in keeping with our reputation 
 as Masons and to equal, if not surpass, entertainments that are now 
 being planned by other societies of a kindred nature." An appeal 
 was made by the committee and a generous response followed, and 
 even though the fund did not realize the size anticipated by its pro- 
 jectors, nor the entertainments reach the scale of magnificence they 
 had desired, yet during this memorable year Oriental Consistory, and 
 the Princes of its household, fully sustained Chicago's reputation for 
 hearty and whole-souled hospitality. On September I9th of this 
 year the Supreme Council held its eighty-first annual session in 
 Chicago. It had been intended that this meeting, coinciding as it 
 did with the Fall Convention of Oriental Consistory, should be 
 "the nucleus of a World's Congress of Scottish Rite Masons," and
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 35 
 
 to that end invitations were issued to the Supreme Councils of the 
 world. While the session cannot be said to have reached the dig- 
 nity just mentioned, it was yet most interesting and important. Many 
 representatives of foreign bodies, both supreme and subordinate, 
 were present as visitors and it may fairly be said that "by friendly 
 intercourse and exchange of fraternal courtesies" the bonds of 
 brotherhood "between Scottish Rite Masons of the different na- 
 tions" were materially strengthened. 
 
 In the year 1896 the Consistory acquired the collection of books 
 and curios popularly known as the Acacia Library, and from 
 that time on has maintained and added to the same, until at pres- 
 ent it is one of the largest and most valuable Masonic libraries 
 in the world. By this act the Consistory has proclaimed itself as 
 not only a teacher of Masonry by oral tradition but by academic 
 methods of study as well. It has become a patron and conservator 
 of Masonic literature and art, affording to the candidates for its 
 degrees the most ample means for the thorough and exhaustive 
 study of Masonry in all of its branches. As it teaches in its regular 
 curriculum the learning of the "higher degrees," may we not also 
 say, in view of the advantages it now offers to the Masonic student, 
 that in the scholastic scheme of Freemasonry it should properly 
 be classed as an institution of "higher education" a Masonic uni- 
 versity ? 
 
 The collection represents the life work of the writer of these 
 lines as a collector of Masonic books. It has grown with him; 
 has taken not a little of his time and much of his thought. May 
 he not be pardoned then for his references to this feature of our or- 
 ganization, and for deeming it of sufficient importance to merit 
 a supplementary chapter devoted wholly to itself? 
 
 At the annual reunion in April, 1901, the co-ordinate bodies duly 
 celebrated the Centennial Anniversary of the organization of the 
 first Supreme Council in the world, viz: the body organized at 
 Charleston, S. C, in 1801, and now known as the Supreme Coun- 
 cil for the Southern Jurisdiction. They were honored on this occa- 
 sion by the presence of the Grand Commander of that jurisdiction, 
 111. Bro. James D. Richardson, and by that of 111. Bro. H. L. Palmer, 
 Grand Commander of the Northern Jurisdiction, as well as many 
 other distinguished guests from both sides of the line. In many
 
 36 HISTORY OF A/.A.'.ScornsH RITE 
 
 respects this celebration is regarded as one of the most notable in 
 our history. Never before had so many distinguished Masons 
 come together in our Preceptory and rarely has there been a larger 
 class of candidates (224) or a greater attendance of our members. 
 A medal was struck to commemorate the occasion and the exercises 
 closed with a grand banquet at the Auditorium Hotel. As a tribute 
 of respect to the guest of the evening a beautiful "loving cup," 
 suitably inscribed, was presented to Bro. Richardson, while Bro. 
 Palmer was also remembered by a magnificent gavel of ivory, ebony 
 and gold. This gavel Bro. Palmer now uses when presiding over 
 the Supreme Council and says that he will continue so to use it 
 as long as he shall remain Grand Commander, "in acknowledgment 
 of the loyalty of Oriental Consistory." 
 
 An important feature of the social and fraternal life of the 
 Consistory is the annual series of receptions which for many years 
 have been given during the winter months. The primary object 
 of these receptions is to cultivate and foster a closer social inti- 
 macy between the members by bringing them together with their 
 families, and this object, to a large extent, has certainly been accom- 
 plished. Indeed, they have been unqualified social successes from 
 the start and to their influence may be attributed some measure of 
 the general prosperity that for so long has attended the bodies of 
 the Rite in Chicago. While social functions, of some kind, have 
 always figured in our history, yet the inauguration of a series 
 of annual receptions dates only from the early 8o's and the move- 
 ment seems to have been inspired by 111. Bro. Robert M. Johnson, 
 familiarly and lovingly known as "Bob" Johnson. This indefatiga- 
 ble Prince, if he did not conceive the project, is yet entitled to the 
 chief credit for the successful conduct of the receptions for many 
 years. But with the name of Bro. Johnson must be coupled that 
 of 111. Bro. Alfred Russell. For many years the card room was 
 his special province and whatever of success this method of recrea- 
 tion brought to the receptions was in large measure due to his 
 efforts. 
 
 Of late there has been a tendency to enlarge the sphere of social 
 intercourse and enjoyment by the members and their families. 
 The spacious and well appointed quarters in which we are now in- 
 stalled afford means for forms of entertainment which heretofore
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 37 
 
 have been lacking, and the concert, lecture, and other lyceum 
 features, will in the future be among the attractions of Consistory 
 life. 
 
 During the early 8o's there was introduced a pleasing custom, 
 which afterward became very popular, of having the members of a 
 class of candidates photographed together, or in a group. As the 
 classes continued to increase in size, and the group became imprac- 
 ticable, the individual portraits were collected and formed into one 
 picture. Duplicates were retained by the members of the class and 
 the original from which they were made was presented to the Con- 
 sistory "as a lasting memorial" of the donors. While wall space 
 was ample and the class pictures modest in size these gifts were 
 found very acceptable. But in an evil hour it occurred to the lead- 
 ing spirits of a fall class that their picture should be in some re- 
 spects, at least, just a little better than that of the class of the pre- 
 ceding spring. Would that some Wolsey had appeared at this 
 juncture to charge them to "fling away ambition." If it be true 
 that "by that sin fell the angels," it is also certainly true that this 
 was the downfall of the class picture. For each succeeding class 
 then vied with its predecessor for something better. Finally the 
 pictures became so large and elaborate in their settings that they 
 could no longer be hung upon the wall, even if space could be found, 
 and so they were placed upon the floor in magnificently carved 
 easels. That marked the limit. And so, the fiat went forth, 
 "The class picture must go," and it went. 
 
 Stored away somewhere in the roomy attic of the Preceptory 
 there are scores of class pictures, portraits of old-timers, and other 
 objects that in an earlier and less esthetic age gladdened the eyes 
 of the Princes. They are not of much artistic value, perhaps, but 
 they bring pleasant recollections to many of the eiders, nor can they 
 be wholly without interest to the youngers. It would be well if in 
 our present spacious halls we could have one room, if no more, de- 
 voted to these historical relics. Indeed, they are much in the nature 
 of ancestral portraits. They represent our predecessors in Masonic 
 lineage, and if we have any pride of ancestry and live not for our- 
 selves alone in this fleeting present, their faces and their memory 
 should not be blotted out.
 
 38 HISTORY OF A/.A.-. SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 Immediately after the Great Fire of 1871, a religious society, 
 under the leadership of the Rev. Robert Collyer, erected at the corner 
 of Dearborn avenue and Walton place, in the North Division of the 
 City of Chicago, one of the largest and finest church buildings in the 
 West. The structure was known as Unity Church and for many 
 years, particularly during Mr. Collyer's pastorate, its congregation 
 was one of the largest in the city. But the ever changing character 
 of the residence districts had its usual disastrous effect upon Unity 
 Church. The congregation dwindled and the pastor left his flock 
 for better fields. Finally, further church services became imprac- 
 ticable and the building, together with its attendant mortgage, was 
 placed upon the market. At this juncture the Shriners came along. 
 They were themselves without a home and this discarded church 
 seemed like a special dispensation of Providence in their favor. The 
 building was purchased, remodeled, and adapted to the uses of the 
 followers of the Prophet. The Princes of Oriental Consistory cast 
 longing eyes on the new acquisition of their Moslem brethren. It 
 fulfilled the dream of years, but the Saracens had captured it and 
 the only hope for its use was a treaty with the enemies of the faith. 
 
 Through the efforts of 111. Bro. J. B. McFatrich, the Commander 
 in Chief, options were secured on the adjacent property, which event- 
 ually passed into the ownership of the Consistory. The substantial 
 mansion on one of the tracts purchased was easily adapted to our 
 wants ; a large and commodious banquet hall, and over this a palatial 
 preceptory chamber, was erected in the rear, and at last Oriental 
 Consistory had a home of its own' and one that compared favorably 
 with the best in any land. But to still further augment the facili- 
 ties, both for social intercourse and effective work, a treaty of alli- 
 ance was negotiated with the Shriners whereby the Consistory has 
 the use of the church building and appurtenances, now called Me- 
 dinah Temple, for a period of ninety-nine years, and an option of 
 purchase in case the property shall again be placed upon the market. 
 Experts who have inspected the buildings pronounce them the largest 
 and finest structures devoted to Freemasonry anywhere in the world. 
 The first occupation of the new quarters, for the purpose of work, 
 was on the occasion of the semi-annual convention in April, 1905, 
 and on May 4, following, the halls and apartments were formally 
 dedicated to the uses of Scottish Rite Masonry by the Supreme 
 Council.

 IT has been said, that in literature the present time may be aptly 
 termed the "age of libraries." Never before, perhaps, has the 
 specializing of literary collections been so great or so wide- 
 spread, and certainly never before has that form of specialization 
 known as "Masonic" libraries received so much attention as at pres- 
 ent. .But few of the Grand Lodges of the country are now unpro- 
 vided with some sort of a collection to which resort may be had by 
 its officers and committees for information on mooted points, while 
 in a number of jurisdictions these collections have assumed the form 
 of large and well arranged libraries. The great jurisdiction of Illi- 
 nois, the second in numerical strength, and with assets in the treasury 
 of its Grand Lodge second to none, is one of the few, however, which 
 does not possess a library nor even the semblance of one. And 
 yet, when Grand Lodge was struggling in the throes of poverty 
 and overcoming the remnants of prejudice left by the anti-Masonic 
 excitement of 1830, the cause of education was a live and engrossing 
 theme with the representatives and a library was regarded as an 
 "imperative necessity." But, unfortunately, for we cannot regard it 
 in any other light, there seems to have been for many years a 
 marked division of sentiment in Grand Lodge with respect to this 
 field of endeavor. On one side have been the advocates of liberal 
 views with respect to the purport and mission of Freemasonry, on 
 the other the "strict obstructionists," who have ever opposed all 
 attempts to introduce measures for which an express precedent could 
 not be found in Anderson's Constitutions. As a rule these latter 
 
 39
 
 40 HISTORY OF A.'.A.'.ScoxxisH RITE 
 
 have generally been able to secure the adoption of their own opin- 
 ions, and, as a consequence, Illinois is in many particulars behind its 
 more enlightened contemporaries. 
 
 In a few of the older lodges there will be found a bookcase with 
 a set of Morris' Universal Masonic Library, a part of the files of the 
 Grand Bodies of Illinois, and a few monitors and works on Masonic 
 Jurisprudence. These are mainly the relics of the spasm of "educa- 
 tion" which convulsed the jurisdiction during the "fifties." Once 
 in a while some earnest and thoughtful brother succeeds in arousing 
 a languid interest in Masonic literature in the local bodies of his 
 obedience and for a time a genuine effort is put forth to secure a 
 library. But such efforts are usually fitful, short-lived and unpro- 
 ductive of permanent results. As a rule, lodge libraries have not 
 been successful either in this or other jurisdictions. A well kept 
 library implies a librarian, and a Masonic librarian, to be successful, 
 must be a book-worm who works con amore; and, in addition, who 
 possesses a well developed faculty for earnest and persistent begging. 
 Without such a man to direct and manage it, no Masonic library will 
 ever attain any high degree of success or become an active instru- 
 ment of education. 
 
 Not the least interesting of the possessions of Oriental Con- 
 sistory is its now famous library of Masonic literature. This 
 library had its inception in the desire of the writer of these lines 
 for a broader and more specific knowledge of the Masonic Insti- 
 tution than is afforded in the meager and ofttimes misleading lec- 
 tures of the Lodge. Accordingly, soon after his initiation he began 
 the collecting of Masonic books. At first these books were of an 
 elementary nature; the received expositions of the monitor com- 
 pilers and the imaginative histories of Oliver and similar writers. 
 But, with a growing knowledge of the subject came a desire for 
 more thorough and critical investigations, and the first crude at- 
 tempts at original research. He was further stimulated by the 
 writers of the modern English school of Masonic historical criti- 
 cism, which at that time had just commenced its labors. As a 
 result his collection grew with years until finally his modest home 
 became too small to properly house the books and other documents 
 he had brought together. A relief from this congestion was af- 
 forded in the year 1890, when a social organization composed
 
 WALTER A. STEVENS, 33, 
 
 GRAND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE GRAND CONSISTORY OF ILLINOIS, 1866.
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 41 
 
 of Master Masons and known as the "Acacia Club," offered a 
 home for the library with generous assistance in its extension. The 
 collection was then transferred to the Club's house, No. 105 Ash- 
 land boulevard, where it remained for the ensuing five years. In 
 1895 the Club disbanded and for a few months the library lay in 
 storage and without a home. At this juncture the Consistory came 
 forward with an offer of permanent quarters and perpetual care 
 of the collection, and it was accordingly transferred to the Con- 
 sistory parlors in the Masonic Temple. From thence hitherto it 
 has remained in the custody and under the care of Oriental Con- 
 sistory and is known to the Craft, and librarians generally, as the 
 "Library of Oriental Consistory." 
 
 With the single exception of the Library of the Grand Lodge 
 of Iowa, this is the largest and most valuable collection of Masonic 
 literature in the Middle West. No other Masonic body in the 
 State, either grand or subordinate, possesses anything like it, and 
 owing to the extreme rarity of many of the works it is not prob- 
 able that any attempt will be made to duplicate it in the future. 
 This collection will remain, therefore, the Masonic Library of the 
 State of Illinois. 
 
 From time to time the library has been enriched by the gener- 
 ous donations of other collectors and in this way has practically 
 absorbed nearly all of the private collections. Just prior to its 
 taking over by the Consistory, it acquired from St. Bernard Com- 
 mandery, K. T., the extensive collection of the late John O. Dicker- 
 son. This collection, although consisting in the main of duplicates, 
 was yet of great value in the assistance it afforded for exchanges 
 with other libraries. Since its acquisition by the Consistory it has 
 received the private collections of Bro. John McLaren and the late 
 Bro. Vincent L. Hurlbut. These include many rare and valuable 
 matters relating to the early history of the Craft in this State. 
 Bros. Frank L. Gerwig, Louis Keefer and J. C. Collins have also 
 greatly assisted the library by liberal donations of money, which 
 has been expended by the Librarian for books which have been 
 credited to them as donors. Individual members of the Consistory 
 have also contributed many valuable works. It is difficult to make 
 mention of these latter without including the names of all donors, 
 but a glance over our serial catalogue will show that Bros. John C.
 
 42 HISTORY OF A/. A. '.SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 Smith and Gil. W. Barnard are among the most generous of our 
 patrons. The serial catalogue, which is sent to all members of the 
 Consistory, gives the method of acquisition of all of the books 
 therein mentioned, and the names and addresses of all donors. 
 
 The library already compares favorably with the best of other 
 jurisdictions, and as time rolls on and the collection grows in size 
 and importance we may reasonably expect that it will eventually 
 become one of the great specialty libraries of the world. Many 
 of its books and pamphlets are now exceedingly rare, a few are 
 almost unique, while there is none that does not possess a positive 
 literary value. 
 
 The library is intended, as all libraries should be, as an educa- 
 tional agent. It covers not only the field of Masonry proper, but 
 all cognate subjects, and presents to every inquiring mind almost 
 unlimited opportunity for special investigation. Men are devoting 
 more time than formerly to the study of Freemasonry. They are 
 discovering that beneath the dry husk of ritualism there is a rich 
 kernel; that Masonic history and archaeology is a fascinating field 
 for exploration; that the evolution of the Masonic Fraternity is 
 among the most interesting of sociologic phenomena; that the phi- 
 losophy and symbolism of Masonry are its real secrets, and that 
 these secrets can be discovered only by patient, laborious and well 
 directed effort. This being true, it follows that to afford the means 
 of research, to promote, stimulate and encourage thought, a well- 
 selected library is indispensable. 
 
 As before remarked, the collection includes not only the stand- 
 ard works on Freemasonry proper, but also those of its related sci- 
 ences, as well as other matters of a cognate character. This is es- 
 sential to a proper understanding of the general theme. As has 
 been well said by the late Albert Pike, "a few rudimental lessons 
 in architecture, a few universally admitted maxims of morality, a 
 few unimportant traditions, whose real meaning is unknown or 
 misunderstood, will no longer satisfy the earnest inquirer after 
 Masonic truths." Hence, the old-time ideas of what should con- 
 stitute a Masonic library must be discarded. The field of investiga- 
 tion must be enlarged and the searcher must be given more ample 
 opportunities than were formerly considered necessary. With these 
 facts constantly in view the Librarian has added many books that
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 43 
 
 deal with Masonry only indirectly and the library is particularly rich 
 in works treating of the Crusaders, the Ancient Military Fraterni- 
 ties, Heraldry, Medieval Chivalry and Knighthood. Equally marked 
 prominence has been given to Ancient Jewish History, Talmudical 
 literature, and the writings of the Jewish mystics. Architecture, 
 in lines of purely Masonic interest, is well represented, but as the 
 Fraternity is now composed of fairly well educated men, we have 
 touched but lightly the academic ideas involved in the "seven liberal 
 arts and sciences." Symbolism and Philosophy, particularly as they 
 may affect Masonic thought, have not been neglected, and as ger- 
 mane to this purpose the library contains a large number of works 
 relating to the religions of primitive peoples, and to those of the 
 ancient Egyptians and Assyrians. The modern analytic school of 
 Masonic History is represented by all of its principal writers and by 
 copies of the old charges and other documents upon which the stu- 
 dents of the Craft are now at work. No American library has more 
 available matter of this character than the Library of Oriental Con- 
 sistory and the means are ample for original study along the lines of 
 modern Masonic historical and textual criticism. The foregoing will 
 give some faint ideas concerning the extent and scope of our collec- 
 tion, but its true worth can be adequately estimated only by actual in- 
 spection and use. 
 
 At present the third floor front of the Consistory building has 
 been fitted up for library purposes, but this space does not afford 
 adequate room for the proper display of all of our treasures. Be- 
 sides books we have many articles of historic and educational value. 
 Old charters, diplomas and passports, some of them dating back to 
 the closing years of the eighteenth century and bearing the signa- 
 tures of the fathers of this Rite of Freemasonry. Rare and valu- 
 able ancient engravings, implements, tools, and other objects em- 
 ployed in the early workings of the Craft, both in our own State and 
 abroad. Not the least interesting is our collection of Masonic 
 aprons, particularly those of the Scottish Rite. Of these latter we 
 have probably one of the finest collections in the world, including 
 specimens from many of the Spanish-American countries. To 
 properly house and display all of these matters requires space. 
 Wherefore let us hope that in the near future we shall see our
 
 44 HISTORY OF A/.A.'.SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 magnificent collection duly installed in special rooms of its own 
 and so disposed as to be open at all times for use and inspection of 
 the members. 
 
 One word in closing. A few of our books were acquired by 
 purchase and the Librarian is still in the market as a buyer of any- 
 thing that is rare and valuable. But the great bulk of our literary 
 possessions has come to us as freewill offerings. Brethren who 
 have old and rare books, charts, diplomas, medals, aprons and 
 jewels, are not only invited but urged to deposit them in the Library. 
 This is the way in which all great collections are made. And in 
 no better or more secure manner can a man hand down his name 
 to the generations that are to follow. All donations will be cred- 
 ited to the donor in the catalogues and his name will be entered 
 upon the indexes, and years hence, when the literary element of the 
 Craft shall have developed, the student will call down blessings on 
 the heads of those who at this time have rescued and preserved 
 the memorials. If you have no books or other objects of interest, 
 do not, for that reason be despondent. You may still sit with the 
 immortals. The Librarian will accept your cash donation and ex- 
 pend it for works that can be obtained only by purchase. In such 
 event, however, the glory will all be yours and the books will 
 appear in our catalogues and announcements credited to you as 
 donations.

 THE history of Oriental Consistory is, to a very large extent, 
 the history of the other co-ordinate bodies of the Rite, for so 
 closely are the interests of the several organizations blended 
 that, except in the minor details of administration, they are not distin- 
 guishable. Notwithstanding that they are created by separate char- 
 ters, and for purposes of administration and control of the degrees 
 are independent bodies, exercising exclusive jurisdiction within 
 their respective spheres, yet, in everything that pertains to the gen- 
 eral interest and welfare of Scottish Rite Masonry in Chicago they 
 have ever acted as a unit. Indeed, for all practical purposes they 
 may justly be regarded as constituting but one body with a num- 
 ber of departmental heads. Such being the case, it follows that 
 little can be said concerning the Chapter, Council and Lodge, other 
 than references to purely administrative matters. 
 
 It would seem that during the earlier years the larger portion 
 of the interest of the members was centered in the Consistory. 
 While our ranks were thin and the workers few, we can readily 
 understand why this should be so. But in time, as energetic men 
 and competent ritualists were received into the fold, the subsidiary 
 degrees of the Lodge and Council began to be objects of special 
 regard, and then was commenced the process of evolution which 
 has developed the magnificent liturgies and ceremonials we now 
 employ. At first the only degrees conferred in the Lodge of Per- 
 fection were the sixth and the fourteenth. The others were com- 
 municated. During the year 1868 the first efforts were made to 
 confer all of the degrees, but it does not seem that these efforts 
 
 45
 
 46 HISTORY OF A.'.A/.ScoxTiSH RITE 
 
 can be fairly classed as successful until about the year 1873, when 
 all of the degrees, from the fourth to the fourteenth, were, for the 
 first time in this country, repeatedly and continuously conferred in 
 full ceremonial form. From this time on, under the able manage- 
 ment of the illustrious brethren who have successively ruled over it, 
 the works of the Lodge of Perfection have increased in beauty and 
 sublimity. And if we may be permitted to predicate the future 
 upon the past we may safely affirm that the limit of ritualistic per- 
 fection has not yet been reached and that the days that are' to come 
 will see still further advances on the apparently unsurpassable 
 standards of today. 
 
 As in the Lodge, so in the Council and Chapter, there has been 
 a constant tendency to improve on the work of predecessors. Each 
 year has witnessed some development of ritualistic ideas ; some ad- 
 vance on previous efforts ; some embellishment not before known or 
 practiced. The result has been the production of a magnificent eso- 
 teric ceremonial that appeals in strongest terms to the esthetic, moral 
 and religious side of human character; that instructs, and at the 
 same time ennobles. 
 
 It would be out of place, in a sketch of this kind, to make 
 special mention of the men whose genius and talents have most 
 contributed to give shape to our present ceremonies. Whatever 
 opinion we may have of the special excellencies of particular 
 brethren cannot be well expressed without seeming to make invidi- 
 ous distinctions and comparisons. For these reasons, and that none 
 may be slighted, the writer has refrained from awarding praise to 
 those whom he yet feels are worthy of it. Suffice it to say, that all 
 have done well; some, perhaps a little better than others, by rea- 
 son of greater natural endowments, but all have done well and all 
 have contributed in some degree in building up the present ritual- 
 istic edifice. A full list of all of the past presiding officers will be 
 found in the appendix. 
 
 The stage, as a special adjunct to ritualistic renderings, seems 
 to have been first employed in the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite 
 of Freemasonry in the representations of tableaux or of dramatic 
 incidents in which the postulant was not himself an actor. This 
 was the full extent of its use by the early ritualists, and this, in the 
 opinion of many, is the only legitimate purpose to which it can be
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 47 
 
 devoted. As a consequence the stage of the old "Egyptian" Cham- 
 ber in the apartments constructed in 1873 and located at 78 Monroe 
 street, was small and inconspicuous. When the Masonic rooms in 
 this building were remodeled in 1884 a spacious stage, with all neces- 
 sary theatrical accessories was placed in the East of the new Pre- 
 ceptory, and under the direction of 111. Bro. H. H. Pond, Comman- 
 der in Chief, a new cast was given to many of the incidents of the 
 ritual. The chiefs of the co-ordinate bodies followed the lead of 
 Bro. Pond and adopted his ideas of dramatic situations and stage 
 effects. The results, as a rule, were highly satisfactory. The same 
 observations may be made of the general methods employed after 
 the removal of the bodies to the rooms in the building popularly 
 known as the Masonic Temple. But of late, and particularly since 
 the occupation of present quarters, the tendency has been to min- 
 imize the work upon the floor and to transfer to the stage much that 
 formerly was there presented. Whether this plan is for the best 
 or otherwise is an open question, yet it would seem that, in some 
 things at least, the old established customs should not be lightly 
 discarded, while to those who are familiar with the work for the 
 past quarter of a century the conviction is strong that certain forms 
 lose their realism and much of their significance when set upon a 
 stage. 
 
 These latter remarks apply with special force to the "Camp." 
 In the old days, when workers were few and the 32d grade occupied 
 much of the time and talent of the Consistory, the "Camp of the 
 Grand Masonic Army" seems to have been a most elaborate affair. 
 This is particularly true of Occidental Consistory. The Grand Arch- 
 itect and Engineer of those days was not merely a perfunctory officer. 
 On the days of reception it was his special duty to superintend 
 the setting of the Camp and to see that the bodies forming same 
 were properly stationed. Indeed, the "Camp" seems to have been 
 made a conspicuous figure in those early days and finds frequent 
 allusion in the regulations of the Consistory. 
 
 There are a number of days marked for special observance in 
 the calendar of the Scottish Rite, and in former times attempts were 
 made to celebrate the feasts if not to conform to the fasts. But as 
 the bodies increased in numbers the interest in the feast days con- 
 tinued to diminish, until finally their observance wholly ceased.
 
 48 HISTORY OF A/.A.'.ScomsH RITE 
 
 Not for many years has the Rose Croix Chapter celebrated the feast 
 of the Paschal Lamb, notwithstanding that the ancient regulations 
 say that a meeting for this purpose on Holy Thursday of each year 
 is indispensable. The last feast of this kind seems to have been 
 held on April 10, 1879, at which time 111. Bro. James E. Church 
 was the Most Wise. The occasion is still recalled by the old- 
 timers as an epoch in the history of the bodies. Whether it is or 
 is not a good plan to keep alive the old Jewish feast of the Pass- 
 over, the writer does not assume to decide, but in view of the pecu- 
 liar characteristics of the feast, as celebrated under the auspices of 
 Knights of the Rose Croix, and the new symbolism which it em- 
 bodies, he yet feels that as an expression of fraternity, if nothing 
 more, it should be continued. Incident to the foregoing is the cere- 
 mony of extinguishing the lights, but this too has now become only 
 a memory. 
 
 The regulations of the Rose Croix degree also provide for a 
 joyous feast on Easter Sunday, followed by the relighting of the 
 candles that have remained extinguished since the previous Thurs- 
 day. This feast also has passed into desuetude. Spasmodic ob- 
 servances of Easter Sunday occasionally are noted in our records, 
 but these, as a rule consist in Church going or of gatherings in the 
 nature of religious worship and are invariably conducted under the 
 auspices of the Consistory. 
 
 In like manner the Constitutions of the Rite provide for two 
 annual feasts by the Princes of Jerusalem. The principal of these 
 is in commemoration of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem of the 
 Ambassadors on their return from Babylon. This feast, unlike the 
 festivals of the Rose Croix, has no special religious significance, 
 neither did it form a part of the ancient ceremonial observances of 
 the Jews. In all of its essential details it is peculiar to Masonry 
 and to the A. A. S. R. The other feast partakes slightly of a 
 Jewish character, being in memory of the frank offerings rendered 
 to God for the rebuilding of the Temple. In its essence, however, 
 this too is strictly Masonic. These feasts vividly recall two of the 
 happiest periods in the legendary history of the Craft. While 
 the writer hereof was presiding over the Council he endeavored 
 to bring these constitutional feasts into use. They were duly ob-
 
 JOHN D. M. CARR, 32, 
 PAST COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, CHICAGO CONSISTORY.
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 49 
 
 served during the years 1887-88, but, for some reason, the practice 
 was not continued by his successors. 
 
 The Constitutions of the Rite provide that the Lodge of Per- 
 fection shall hold festivals on June 24th and December 27th, ap- 
 parently in memory of the Sts. John, to whose service these days 
 are set apart in the calendar of the Church. It would seem that the 
 feast falling on the 24th of June was strictly observed for a num- 
 ber of years, but of late the large amount of work devolving on the 
 officers has crowded out this ceremony except where the day hap- 
 pens to fall on Sunday. On this latter occasion, however, it is still 
 customary to meet and to hold an appropriate service. Let us hope 
 that not only will this practice be continued but that there may be 
 a return to the old usages, and that all of our obligatory feasts will 
 again be duly observed. 
 
 The practice of semi-annual conventions of all of the co-ordi- 
 nate bodies dates back to the early years of the Rite in Chicago, 
 and, in fact, is almost coeval with its introduction. These con- 
 ventions have acquired the name "reunions," and no one word, 
 perhaps, so fully and explicitly expresses the general character of 
 the gatherings. They bring together many of the brethren that 
 seldom or never attend the regular sessions and in a three days' 
 round of good-fellowship and fraternity cement anew the ties of 
 friendship and keep fresh the old memories of long departed days. 
 No one feature of our social economy has tended more to insure the 
 material welfare and financial success of the bodies and no other 
 agency has been so instrumental in promoting fraternity and true 
 companionship. It would seem also that notwithstanding sessions 
 are held in the day-time, and that these sessions are protracted over 
 a period of three days, the general standard of the ritualistic work 
 and ceremonies is even higher than at the regular weekly meet' 
 ings of the bodies. 
 
 The official name of the premier Consistory was "Occidental 
 Sovereign Consistory of Most Valiant and Illustrious Sublime 
 Commanders of the Royal Secret." Notwithstanding the plethora 
 or high sounding terms, it will yet be observed that the now 
 familiar word "Prince" is missing. This official name appears in 
 the "Statutes and Regulations" of the Consistory published in the 
 year 1858, and it is assumed that it was the name by which the body
 
 50 HISTORY OF A. '.A. '.SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 was chartered. Unofficially, however, the body at that time called 
 itself a Consistory of Sublime Princes, or of Sublime Princes and 
 Commanders, and the word "Prince," as descriptive of the status of 
 membership, is of frequent occurrence in the By-laws. 
 
 The word "Preceptory," now employed to designate the Con- 
 sistorial Chamber, was also unknown to the early "Commanders." 
 In the Statutes and Regulations the place of meeting is called the 
 "Sacred Asylum" or the "Camp." The former term seems to have 
 been employed by all of the co-ordinate bodies, as the Statutes of the 
 Rose Croix Chapter, published in 1865, describes the place of as- 
 sembly as "our Asylum." 
 
 But, perhaps, that which strikes us the most forcibly on looking 
 over what is left of the old records, is the utter absence of the 
 word "Scottish." We have become so accustomed to this word in 
 the nomenclature of the Rite that it is difficult for us to imagine 
 that it has not always formed a part of our official name. As a 
 matter of fact, however, it is a comparatively late development, and 
 seems to have originated in a misconception of the genesis and pur- 
 port of certain of the degrees. The men who formed the first 
 Supreme Council at Charleston in 1801-2, never heard of it, nor 
 was it known to their immediate successors. But in the so-called 
 Latin Constitutions, published in 1859, the Order is designated as 
 "Antiquus Scoticus Ritus Acceptus," and as these Constitutions 
 were subsequently adopted as the fundamental rule of the Rite by 
 both the Southern and Northern Supreme Councils the word 
 "Scottish" became thereafter an integral part of the official name. 
 In 1857, when Occidental Consistory and its co-ordinate bodies were 
 chartered, the "Sublime degrees," as they were called, were col- 
 lectively known as the "Ancient and Accepted Rite," and by this 
 general name they were called both in the Supreme Council and all 
 bodies of its obedience. 
 
 Membership in the Rose Croix Chapter was divided into the 
 same classes as that of the Consistory, that is,. into active and hon- 
 orary. The active members were limited to thirty-three, but as 
 many honorary and affiliated members might be admitted "as the 
 Chapter may deem expedient." Active members only were re- 
 quired to pay dues. On all applications for degrees the vote was 
 taken viva voce, and every active member had the privilege of
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 185&-1907 51 
 
 "making such remarks as he may think proper." No meeting of the 
 Chapter could be held "without a collection for the poor," and of 
 the fund so collected the Most Wise was the custodian and, gen- 
 erally, the almoner. 
 
 There is another peculiar feature observable in the early years 
 of the Chapter, or, at least, one that does not seem to have been 
 common to like bodies of the period. The ancient regulations of 
 the Rite provide for annual elections of the officers, as is now the 
 practice in all of the organizations below the Consistory. But in 
 the Chapter the custom of the Consistory was followed and the 
 officers were elected once in three years on Holy Thursday. This 
 day also marked the end of the Chapter's fiscal year. In the Lodge 
 and Council the elections seem to have been held annually. 
 
 From all indications the activities of the early bodies were con- 
 fined, in the main, to the Consistory and Chapter and in these 
 organizations it does not seem that more than one degree was ex- 
 emplified. 
 
 There is no record of the early members of the Consistory now 
 known to be in existence, but in the fall of the year 1858 Occidental 
 Consistory published its by-laws with the names of its members 
 appended thereto. These names are twenty-three in number and 
 represent the entire Scottish Rite membership of Illinois at that 
 time. A glance over the list shows that the standard of admission 
 must have been high in those days, and that, notwithstanding the 
 exclusive policy then pursued, the flower of the fraternity in Chi- 
 cago had been gathered into the fold. Of the twenty-three per- 
 sons named as members and who signed the by-laws, only one is now 
 known to be living, viz. : 111. Bro. Henry C. Ranney. In the pam- 
 phlet containing the "Statutes and Regulations" of Gourgas Chapter, 
 published in 1865, there is a list of members, "active, emeritus and 
 honorary." This list shows thirty-three active and thirty-six hon- 
 orary members, or a total of sixty-nine. In the absence of other 
 evidence this, presumably, would also represent the entire member- 
 ship of the Consistory at that time, but in a copy of the Consistory 
 by-laws, published the same year, the membership is given as eighty- 
 two. Why the higher body should have had a larger membership 
 than the lower body from whom its members were drawn is not 
 clear.
 
 52 HISTORY OF A/.A/.SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 Masonry is sometimes described as a luxury. That is, some- 
 thing that can be afforded only by a man of means. If this be true 
 at present, then it certainly was doubly true in the old days. The 
 fees for the Consistory degrees, prior to the merger, were seventy- 
 five dollars, and when we consider the relative value of money in 
 the fifties, as compared with present standards, it will be seen that 
 not many could afford to participate in the labors of the "Sublime 
 Masons." The fee for the Rose Croix Chapter was fifteen dollars 
 and for the Council of Princes of Jerusalem a fee of forty dollars 
 was exacted. In the Lodge of Perfection the fee was seventy-five 
 dollars. It will thus be seen that membership in the "Ancient and 
 Accepted Rite" could fairly be classed as a valuable asset. 
 
 It may be that the comparatively high cost of the degrees had 
 something to do with the slow growth displayed during the early 
 years of the bodies, but the real and efficient cause must be found 
 in those ideas of exclusiveness that for so many years were rigor- 
 ously observed. As a sample of the application of this rule of care- 
 ful selection and exclusion we may note the practice followed in the 
 matter of petitions. It was the duty of the Grand Secretary, within 
 twenty-four hours after the reception of a petition for degrees or 
 membership, to inform each member of the Lodge, either in per- 
 son or by mail, of the fact of such reception and to state the time at 
 which the report of the Committee of Investigation would be due. 
 And it was further made the duty of every member so informed to be 
 present and vote, or, in case he was unable to be present, "to signify 
 in writing to the Grand Secretary his decision in the matter, yea or 
 nay." In view of the procedure respecting petitions which has been 
 followed in the Lodge of Perfection during recent years, it will be 
 perceived that, in some things at least, there has been a partial return 
 to the old ways. 
 
 The secret ballot, with which we are now so familiar, does not 
 seem to have been employed in the early days. All applications, 
 whether for degrees or membership, were first referred to a com- 
 mittee for investigation. At the next stated meeting thereafter the 
 committee was required to report, and thereupon, if the report was 
 favorable, an election was had in which the vote was taken by yeas 
 and nays. This was the method employed in all of the bodies. 
 In all cases a unanimous vote was required for election. If the
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 53 
 
 candidate did not come forward to claim the benefit of his election 
 "within three stated meetings" thereafter, he was obliged to again 
 submit to the ordeal of the ballot. 
 
 The leading spirit in the early Scottish Rite Masonry of Chicago 
 was 111. Bro. Chas. R. Starkweather. He was not only the Com- 
 mander in Chief of the Consistory, but the presiding officer as well 
 of all of the other bodies. Indeed, never before or since has the 
 "one man" power in Masonry been so fully exemplified. But in 
 view of the distinguished brethren who were associated with him, 
 men like Wm. B. Herrick, J. V. Z. Blaney, Hosmer A. Johnson, 
 G. W. Deering, and others who were prominent in the bodies of the 
 York Rite, we must conclude that this leadership was but a tribute 
 to his genius and skill as a worker as well as his ability as an 
 organizer. Without in any manner disparaging any of the men 
 whose names are connected with the inception and early exploita- 
 tion of the Rite, we may still accord to him the title of "Father of 
 the Scottish Rite in Chicago." 
 
 We are accustomed to speak of the Consistory, Chapter, Coun- 
 cil and Lodge as "co-ordinate" bodies. Indeed, they are so classed 
 in the heading of this chapter. This would imply that they are all 
 of the same rank and that all stand, as respects each other, on the 
 same plane of equality. At present this is true. There is no prece- 
 dence save in the sequence of degrees, but this does not affect the 
 standing of the bodies nor render one inferior to the other. But 
 however true this may be of the present it is not true of the early 
 years. ,By the ancient regulations, the Council of Princes of Jeru- 
 salem enjoyed many privileges and its members were given many 
 immunities that are now denied to them. These ancient privileges 
 antedate the formation of the present Rite of thirty-three degrees 
 and extend back to the times of the old "Rite of Perfection." When 
 the new Rite was formed by the "Princes and Chiefs of Sublime 
 Masonry," in the years 1801-2, the ancient privileges of the Princes 
 of Jerusalem were conceded to them and these privileges, in theory 
 at least, were still enjoyed by the Princes at the time of the institu- 
 tion of the bodies of the Rite in Chicago. Among these privileges 
 was the right to superintend the Lodges of Perfection, which, for 
 most purposes, were considered as attached to the Council. This 
 suzerainty seems to have been exercised by Illinois Council over
 
 54 HISTORY OF A/.A/.ScorriSH RITE 
 
 Van Rensselaer Lodge, and in many ways we may observe a survival 
 of the old ideas of the preceding century with respect to the powers, 
 rights and prerogatives of the Princes. 
 
 Among the few relics of the past that have been spared to us is 
 a copy of Statutes and Regulations of the "Grand Council of Illi- 
 nois" of Princes of Jerusalem, published in 1857. From this it 
 would seem that the ancient duty imposed on Councils "to inspect 
 and watch over, with due care and fidelity," the Lodge placed under 
 its superintendence "and see that its work is done in conformity 
 with the landmarks of the Order," was being duly performed by 
 Illinois Council, and that the administration of Van Rensselaer 
 Lodge was virtually being conducted by the Council. 
 
 The term "co-ordinate" nowhere appears in the old Statutes and 
 Regulations, nor in the literature of the Rite prior to the con- 
 solidation of the rival Supreme Councils in 1867. Since that time, 
 however, it has been extensively employed and the old supervisory 
 powers of the Council have been abolished. 
 
 Possibly a word or two in explanation of the names of the va- 
 rious bodies may not be out of place in this connection. It will be 
 remembered that the original Consistories were called Occidental and 
 Chicago, respectively. The reasons that led to the selection of both 
 of these names are obvious. When the first consistory was estab- 
 lished in Chicago it marked the Western limit of Scottish Rite 
 Masonry. Occidental, therefore, was a most appropriate name to 
 bestow upon it. When the rival consistory was established it was 
 regarded by its promoters as the Scottish Rite body of the city 
 and hence, to mark this superiority, it was given a local setting and 
 called Chicago Consistory. During the period following its estab- 
 lishment and until the union this idea seems to have been retained 
 and its co-ordinate bodies were usually described by the same term 
 to distinguish them from their rivals. 
 
 Owing to the feelings of pride, prejudice, and even animosity, 
 which commingled at the time of the merger, it would seem that 
 the members of neither consistory would accept the name of the 
 other. Hence, notwithstanding the articles of union expressly pro- 
 vided that Chicago Consistory should surrender its charter and its 
 members be received in full fellowship by Occidental Consistory, 
 thereby contemplating, in fact, an absorption of the younger by
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 55 
 
 the elder body, the plan, nevertheless, was not in all respects satis- 
 factory. Therefore, to appease the clamorous and placate the dis- 
 satisfied a new consistory, with a new name, was formed. Just 
 why the name "Oriental" should have been chosen does not appear, 
 but as it represented the antipodal idea, that is, was the farthest 
 possible removed from the old name, we may reasonably infer that 
 this circumstance had much to do with its selection. 
 
 The two original chapters were called "Gourgas" and "Cceur 
 de Leon." The former was named for the venerable J. J. J. 
 Gourgas, who for many years was himself the Northern Supreme 
 Council and who alone preserved its identity when it had been 
 abandoned by its former members. The latter probably chose its 
 name through mere caprice and because it sounded well. But it 
 was a mere fanciful epithet wholly without significance or meaning 
 in Scottish Rite Masonry. Fortunately the old historic name of 
 Gourgas was retained by the consolidated body. This, however, was 
 the result of a compromise. The Councils were named "Illinois" 
 and "Chicago," respectively. When the union was effected it was 
 agreed that the name of the elder Chapter (Gourgas) should be 
 retained for the consolidated Chapter and that of the younger Coun- 
 cil (Chicago) for the consolidated Council, and by these names the 
 present bodies are known. 
 
 The original Lodges were "Van Rensselaer" and "Chicago." 
 For the consolidated lodge the old name was retained. Here, again, 
 the selection was fortunate. K. H. Van Rensselaer was the pioneer 
 missionary of Scottish Rite Masonry in the West. It was through 
 his efforts that the first bodies were established in Chicago and it 
 seems not only right but natural that his name should remain asso- 
 ciated with the organizations that he aided in calling into life. While 
 he was comparatively but a minor character in the early drama he 
 yet may be classed among the fathers and we have done well in 
 perpetuating the historic names of the founders of our modern 
 system.
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 Civic CORPORATIONS. 
 
 INCORPORATION OF THE CHICAGO BODIES PROPRIETY THE ACT EFFECT OF IN- 
 CORPORATION DATES OF civic CHARTERS POWERS OF CORPORATIONS- 
 STATUS OF THE BODIES. 
 
 IN addition to the warrants of constitution from the Supreme 
 Council each of the co-ordinate bodies of the Rite located in 
 Chicago is also a body corporate and politic under and by virtue 
 of the laws of the State of Illinois. The propriety of the civil in- 
 corporation of Masonic bodies has long been a mooted question, 
 and the more conservative among the Craft have always held that 
 the practice is wrong in principle and dangerous in fact. By virtue 
 of such incorporation a subordinate body becomes, for many pur- 
 poses, the peer of its superior. It possesses a number of rights, 
 privileges and franchises that are wholly distinct from and inde- 
 pendent of, those derived under its warrant of constitution. It 
 acquires a legal existence that cannot be terminated except by the 
 State, and then only for a violation of municipal law. This charac- 
 ter, it would seem, is now possessed by each of the Chicago bodies. 
 Oriental Consistory, S. P. R. S., was incorporated February 15, 
 1882. Gourgas Chapter of Rose Croix, De-H-R-D-M., was incor- 
 porated Nov. 13, 1883. Chicago Council of Princes of Jerusalem 
 was incorporated Nov. 13, 1883, and Van Rensselaer Grand Lodge 
 of Perfection was incorporated July 7, 1881, each of the bodies re- 
 ceiving the corporate names respectively as above set forth. The 
 object of the corporation in each case, as stated in the declaration 
 filed in the office of the Secretary of State, is "to incorporate the 
 members of [the body named] into a legal corporation for the pur- 
 pose of advancing and promoting the interests of Ancient Accepted 
 Scottish Rite Masonry, at Chicago, in the State of Illinois." The 
 management of each of the corporations is vested in a Board of 
 Five Directors who are elected annually by the members. It will 
 
 56

 COMMANDER-IN CHIEF, 1871-2
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 57 
 
 be observed that this is not a case of dual corporations, one subsist- 
 ing by virtue of a warrant from the Supreme Council and one by 
 virtue of a charter from the State, but the Masonic body seems to 
 have been merged into the Civic body. However, instances of this 
 kind are not uncommon in Illinois. In fact the Grand Lodge is a 
 conspicuous example. 
 
 By the fact of incorporation the bodies are now enabled to sue 
 and be sued at law ; to own real and personal property ; to borrow 
 money and execute pledges therefor, and, generally, to exercise the 
 powers of juristic persons. The control of the funds and manage- 
 ment of the affairs of the corporations is vested in the Directors. 
 Thus far no evil effects have resulted from the incorporation of 
 the bodies, while positive benefits have been secured in the fa- 
 cility with which both real and personal property has been ac- 
 quired, and in the exemption of the members from personal liability 
 for debts contracted by the officers and agents. The title to all of 
 the property of the bodies, including the Preceptory on Dearborn 
 avenue, is vested in these legal corporations. 
 
 Whether the bodies which meet in the Preceptory, confer degrees, 
 receive and disburse money, transact business of a commercial na- 
 ture, incur debts and pay outstanding obligations, are voluntary 
 associations formed under a license from the Supreme Council or 
 bodies politic and corporate existing under and by virtue of the laws 
 of the State of Illinois, are questions for the lawyer and not for the 
 historian. It would seem, however, that all of the advantages de- 
 rived from incorporation might have been secured by the formation 
 of an auxiliary association. This association, with a civic charter, 
 could hold the property and funds, contract and pay debts, and, 
 generally, perform all of the functions of a juristic person necessary 
 or expedient in the interests of the co-ordinate bodies. In such event 
 there would be no need of incorporation for the bodies and no ques- 
 tion with respect to their status. 
 
 As the civic corporations represent only the business side of 
 Masonry they offer no incentives for the reviewer's pen. Their 
 history lies mainly in a cash book and ledger, a few title deeds, and 
 the record of the annual elections of their officers.
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 THE COLLEGE OF THIRTY-THIRDS. 
 
 CLASSIFICATION OF MEMBERSHIP STATUS OF THE INSPECTORS-GENERAL DIVI- 
 SION OF RANKS FORMATION OF THE COLLEGE OBJECTS AND PURPOSES 
 RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE COLLEGE PRESENT CONDITION. 
 
 ORIENTAL CONSISTORY is composed of "Princes of the 
 Royal Secret, 32d." But, incidentally, it also includes a num- 
 ber of gentlemen who are "Inspectors-General 33d" and who 
 claim an honorary membership in the Supreme Council. For all 
 practical purposes these gentlemen are merely 32ds but they serve 
 the ornamental, and, possibly, to some extent useful purpose, of vis- 
 ing diplomas and sitting on the dais in dignified array on the occa- 
 sion of special functions. The 33ds are classified as "active" and 
 "honorary." The "actives" are, in fact, members of the Supreme 
 Council and as such, under the constitution of the Rite, are a supe- 
 rior class. While holding membership in the Consistory as 32ds, 
 they also retain their prerogatives as 33ds and members of the Su- 
 preme Council. At times this duality has been productive of friction 
 and the records of both the Consistory and the Council of Delibera- 
 tion bear witness to the fact of frequent strained relations in the past. 
 Nor have the conflicts always been between the 32ds and 33ds. The 
 Inspectors-General have had little differences between themselves, 
 growing out of opposing views respecting the character of their 
 several positions. 
 
 One of these latter episodes culminated in the year 1880 and 
 resulted in the formation of a body theretofore wholly unknown to 
 Scottish Rite Masonry, and, for that matter, never heard from since. 
 In this year there was organized a fellowship known as the "Illinois 
 College of Sovereign Grand Inspectors-General." The primary ob- 
 ject of the College, which was composed wholly of "honoraries," 
 seems to have been to regulate the conduct of the "actives." The 
 call for the organization meeting recited that in order to "have an 
 opportunity for interchange of opinions" as well as for the advance- 
 
 68
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 59 
 
 ment of the fraternal principles of the grade, an association was de- 
 sirable, and those interested were, invited to attend a meeting to be 
 held March 19, 1880. 
 
 In response to this call practically all of the "honoraries" in the 
 city came together in solemn conclave on the evening of the day above 
 named. 111. Bro. Gil. W. Barnard was elected Chairman and 111. 
 Bro. Amos Pettibone became the Secretary. The subject of the 
 call was freely discussed and the decision was reached that matters 
 had come to such a pass that an organization of the Honorary 
 33ds of the State was imperatively necessary. A committee was 
 therefore appointed to prepare a constitution or plan of organization, 
 with instructions to present same at a future meeting. This duty 
 the committee duly performed, and at a meeting held on Tues- 
 day, April 13, 1880, the following declaration was adopted as the 
 basis of organization : 
 
 The Sovereign Grand Inspectors-General of the thirty-third and last de- 
 gree of A. A. S. R., honorary members of the Supreme Council, Northern 
 Jurisdiction of the United States of America, desirous of being more closely 
 united in the strong bonds of brotherly love and affection, and also advancing 
 the lofty liberal Christian principles of our order, do hereby form ourselves 
 into an association, to be styled the Illinois College of Sovereign Grand In- 
 spectors-General. 
 
 A brief code of by-laws was then adopted for the government 
 of the association, and this, practically, is all that the record dis- 
 closes either of objects or efforts. The College maintained an act- 
 ive existence for several years and, presumably, did much to "unite 
 the strong bonds of brotherly love and affection," as well as to "ad- 
 vance the lofty liberal Christian principles of our order." Some 
 of the old-timers say it did more, but of what that more consisted 
 they are generally very reticent. But, apparently, having accom- 
 plished the work for which it was organized it lapsed into a con- 
 dition of "innocuous desuetude," in which condition it still remains. 
 
 The organization of auxiliary or subsidiary sodalities within the 
 regular bodies is, at best, of doubtful propriety. In many instances 
 their influence is positively pernicious and it is difficult to imagine 
 cases in which any real necessity for their existence can be found. 
 We must assume, however, from the high character of the men who
 
 60 HISTORY OF A/.A/. SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 composed it, that the College was an exception to the rule; that 
 it came into being to supply an actual and urgent need; and that 
 it fulfilled the mission for which it was created. It is contended 
 by some of the organizers that the College is still in existence ; that 
 its functions are merely suspended; and that, should circumstances 
 again arise that call for its intervention, it will resume its former 
 activities and again become a potent influence in shaping the des- 
 tinies of Scottish Rite Masonry in Chicago.
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 THE COUNCIL OF DELIBERATION. 
 
 COUNCIL OF DELIBERATION A STATE BODY Is THE SUCCESSOR OF THE EARLY 
 GRAND CONSISTORY ORGANIZATION OF THE COUNCIL WORK OF THE 
 COUNCIL IN RELATION TO ORIENTAL CONSISTORY PROTESTS AND MEMORIALS 
 BY THE CONSISTORY ACTION OF THE SUPREME COUNCIL. 
 
 NO HISTORY of Scottish Rite Masonry in Chicago would be 
 complete without some notice of the Council of Deliberation. 
 In strictness this is a State body, composed of the chiefs 
 of the several Consistories and co-ordinate bodies located in Il- 
 linois. But its meetings, with few exceptions, have always been 
 held in Chicago and its real life may be said to have come from the 
 various Chicago organizations. 
 
 The Council of Deliberation is the direct outgrowth of the policy 
 pursued by the organization known as the Hays Supreme Council. 
 This organization, unlike its rival the Van Rensselaer Supreme 
 Council, did not charter Consistories and other bodies direct, but 
 created a number of intermediary supervisory bodies to whom it 
 delegated the power of chartering subordinates. These Super- 
 visory organizations were known at first as "Grand Consistories." 
 At a session of the Supreme Council, held at the City of New York 
 on Dec. 14, 1866, "on motion of 111. Bro. Sheville, charters for the 
 Grand Consistories of Illinois and Indiana were authorized to be 
 issued, and to bear date of the time of their institution." As a mat- 
 ter of fact the Grand Consistory of Illinois, with 111. Bro. Walter 
 A. Stevens as Commander in Chief, had been instituted some months 
 prior to this action. Just how this was accomplished is not very 
 clear, but it would seem that Bro. Sheville had plenary authority 
 to grant "Letters Patent and Warrants of Authority" during his 
 Western missionary trip in the summer of 1866, and that his ac- 
 
 61
 
 62 HISTORY or A. \ A. '.SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 tions in the exercise of this authority were afterward confirmed by 
 the Supreme Council. We know, in a general way, that this Grand 
 Consistory met and transacted business. That it granted charters 
 for Consistories at Chicago, Waukegan, De Kalb, Yates City, and 
 Monmouth. But this is almost the full extent of our knowl- 
 edge. No record of its meetings has been preserved, and upon 
 the union of the rival Supreme Councils in 1867 it seems to have 
 passed out of existence. 
 
 The regulations of the United Supreme Council provided, how- 
 ever, for local supervisory bodies, with extremely limited powers, 
 known as "Councils of Deliberation." In pursuance of this authority 
 the chiefs of the Rite assembled at the City of Chicago, in their 
 first Council of Deliberation, on April 7, 1869. From thence hither- 
 to the Council has held regular sessions. There is little, however, 
 in the record of this body to engage the pen of the historian. Hav- 
 ing practically no legislative powers its sessions are brief and in 
 the main uneventful. All matters involving questions of adminis- 
 trative policy are disposed of in the Supreme Council. 
 
 From its organization in 1869 until the year 1884 the regular 
 meetings were held annually. At the session of this year the stated 
 meetings were changed from annual to triennial. This change has 
 continued until the present, although there have been several special 
 annual meetings during the period. 
 
 There are a few items in the meager journal of the sessions 
 which have a direct interest for the members of Oriental Consistory. 
 At the special session of Jan. 27, 1871, the object of the conference 
 was to devise plans for the consolidation of the Chicago bodies, 
 a project that was happily realized in the manner detailed in a 
 former part of this work. 
 
 At the session of 1872 a resolution was adopted, which, in effect, 
 looked toward the re-establishment of the Grand Consistory. The 
 Supreme Council, however, had no use for Grand Consistories and 
 the ancient body was not revived. 
 
 The bestowal of the honorarium of the thirty-third degree has 
 always been a source of much contention and often of much dis- 
 satisfaction in this district. During the year 1875 the dissatisfac- 
 tion seems to have reached an acute stage, and at the session of
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 63 
 
 the Council of Deliberation of that year 111. Bro. T. T. Gurney intro- 
 duced a series of resolutions the gist of which is contained in the 
 following : 
 
 Resolved, By this Council of Deliberation, that we respectfully pray the 
 Supreme Council of this jurisdiction that no further additions be made to 
 its honorary membership from this district unless substantial proof be pre- 
 sented to that body that the elevation of the applicant will be in the interests 
 of the Rite. 
 
 Resolved, That we further pray that the Supreme Council adopt some 
 method of determining a brother's eligibility for such distinction that shall 
 secure the objects sought for by the foregoing. 
 
 These resolutions seem to have been the outgrowth of peculiarly 
 arbitrary actions on the part of certain of the active members of 
 the Supreme Council in this district, which actions, it is said, pro- 
 duced much dissatisfaction among the rank and file of the Con- 
 sistory. They were intended as a protest against hasty, ill consid- 
 ered and capricious nominations for the honorarium, and were en- 
 dorsed by the best element in the bodies. 
 
 The resolutions were adopted by the Council of Deliberation 
 and duly transmitted to the Supreme Council. They were by that 
 body referred to a committee, which, it seems, made a report but 
 no recommendation on the subject, "reserving it for more mature 
 deliberation." 
 
 About this time also Oriental Consistory was chafing under the 
 restraints placed upon it with respect to the right of discipline over 
 its members who were also Inspectors-General of the Supreme Coun- 
 cil. The offending "33ds" denied the right of the Consistory to 
 arraign them at its bar or to sit in judgment upon them. Where- 
 upon the Council of Deliberation passed the following resolution: 
 
 Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Council of Deliberation that the 
 subordinate bodies of the Rite, Consistories, Chapters, Councils or Lodges 
 should be authorized to try any of their members, of whatever grade, for im- 
 moral conduct, or any offense against the Statutes, Regulations of the Rite, 
 or the By-Laws of the bodies of which they are members. 
 
 This resolution was likewise committed to the Deputy for trans- 
 mission to the Supreme Council. In due time the latter body con- 
 sidered the resolution and decided that, "Inspectors-General shall
 
 6i HISTORY or A/. A/. SCOTTISH RITE 
 
 be amenable to the Supreme Council only." This has continued to 
 be the rule ever since. The soundness of the rule has often been 
 questioned, and it is conceded that it is opposed in principle to 
 the ancient regulations of the Masonic Institution. But, it is con- 
 tended, the Scottish Rite is peculiar to itself and the rule, having 
 been once announced by the superior power, is binding and obliga- 
 tory until rescinded or annulled by the Supreme Council. The 
 matter will be better understood, perhaps, by the comments of the 
 Deputy, 111. Bro. H. A. Johnson, at the' following session of the 
 Council of Deliberation. After referring to the action of the Su- 
 preme Council he said: 
 
 I beg leave, in this connection, to call your attention to the radical dif- 
 ference between the organic law of this Rite and that of the York Rite. In 
 the one the source of power is from above, from the representative of Fred- 
 erick. In the other each individual lodge is a sovereign, and the superior 
 bodies are made up of representatives, and have such powers as are dele- 
 gated to them. In my judgment Grand Lodges even are not an exception to 
 this idea. The two systems cannot be brought to the same methods of gov- 
 ernment or of action without destroying the fundamental idea of one or the 
 other. I do not see any probability of good from any effort to combine them. 
 State Consistories, even our Councils of Deliberation, are, to some extent, the 
 embodiment of such an effort, but it is distinctly understood that the Supreme 
 Council is supreme, that this word is not simply a useless prefix, retained to 
 gratify an amour propre, but that it indicates quite a different idea from the 
 word "grand" as applied to the representative or so-called superior bodies of 
 the York Rite. 
 
 But Oriental Consistory was still chafing under the restraints 
 imposed upon it, and the session of the Council in 1877 ' 1S interest- 
 ing in several particulars growing out of this fact. The salient fea- 
 ture of the session was the presentation of the following "memorial," 
 which not only explains itself but also furnishes a fair clue to the 
 ideas which were then paramount in the Consistory:

 of this representation our devotion to the Supreme Powers thereof, and 
 heartily desiring to place such Powers in active sympathy and co-operation 
 with the primary elements of their strength and perpetuity, and believing that 
 this desirable consummation cannot be attained without fraternal concessions 
 of rights and prerogatives which are at the basis of every organization resting 
 in the immutable principles of our Masonic professions; and further believing 
 that our useful existence in the interests of humanity is dependent upon an 
 acquiescence in the advanced thought which recognizes the dignity and im- 
 portance of the laborers that furnish the elementary strength and security to 
 all beneficent and fraternal associations, and also believing that our Supreme 
 Authorities are not adverse to giving attention to respectful presentation of 
 the settled convictions of their subordinates; therefore, 
 
 Resolved, That the present system of taxing Subordinate Bodies of the 
 Rite, in the absence of the most remote representation in the law-making 
 powers thereof, is a perpetual menace to their prosperity and our unrestrained 
 devotion to its interests. 
 
 Resolved, That we earnestly pray our Supreme Council that such changes 
 may be perfected in its Organic law as will secure to the Bodies of its obedi- 
 ence equitable representation in the legislative powers of the Rite. 
 
 Resolved, That should our Supreme Powers deem such concessions in- 
 compatible with the welfare of the Rite, that all dues or other taxation now 
 being imposed upon its Subordinate Bodies be abolished. 
 
 Resolved, That a copy of these presents be furnished for the considera- 
 tion of our Sister Bodies of this State, and that a further cony be presented to 
 our next Council of Deliberation by the 111. Commander-in-Chief of this 
 Consistory. 
 
 Attest: JAMES A. T. BIRD, 32, 
 
 [Seal.] Grand Secretary. 
 
 It will be perceived that "revolutionary tendencies" were rife 
 in Oriental Consistory at that time, but when we see the honored 
 names that were supporting the movement we must conclude that 
 there were good and sufficient reasons therefor; that the movement 
 was not a mere caprice on the part of a few, and that abuses of 
 power which had become intolerable had at last led to open re- 
 sistance. 
 
 The memorial was received and adopted, and a copy furnished 
 to the Deputy with the request that it be presented to the Supreme 
 Council for its consideration. The memorial was presented but 
 the Supreme Council took no other action thereon than to grant 
 permission to the memorialists to withdraw same.
 
 66 HISTORY or A.'.A.'.ScoxTiSH RITE 
 
 Some few years before, Oriental Consistory had adopted a semi- 
 military uniform and the employment of military equipments. By 
 general consent this uniform was adopted by neighboring Con- 
 sistories and finally it received the approval of the Supreme Coun- 
 cil. .But about this time, as related in another part of this history, 
 there was a movement looking toward its "alteration and improve- 
 ment." As a result the Council passed the following: 
 
 WHEREAS, This Council of Deliberation believing that the high character 
 of this Rite will be more fully sustained, and its usefulness better promoted, 
 by retaining the present uniform, in which appropriateness, durability and 
 richness are combined in a desirable manner; therefore, 
 
 Resolved, That our Illustrious Deputy, together with all the active mem- 
 bers from Illinois of the Supreme Council, are most respectfully requested to 
 use their influence that no change be made in the present uniform of a Sub- 
 lime Prince of the Royal Secret, thirty-second degree. 
 
 No change was made and the uniform, with an ever dwindling 
 sentiment in its favor, has remained as originally adopted. 
 
 The session of 1883 was remarkable for several particulars. In 
 the first place, 111. Bro. H. H. Pond, an "honorary" 33d presided as 
 a "Special Deputy." This resulted from a "disagreement" among 
 the "actives," and is the only instance of the kind on record, in 
 this district at least. The session was further remarkable from the 
 fact that the Council took it upon itself to nominate persons for the 
 honorarium. On motion of 111. Bro. H. C. Ranney it was 
 
 Resolved, That a committee of five be raised to nominate and report, to 
 an adjourned meeting of the Council, names for the thirty-third degree, and 
 that the same committee present a plan for the manner of electing them. 
 
 A committee was accordingly raised which duly reported back 
 the names of five persons as suitable candidates for the honor, and 
 recommended that the election be by secret ballot. A ballot was 
 thereupon taken and the names recommended by the committee re- 
 ceived the unanimous approval of the Council. So far as the record 
 discloses this was the only time the method was ever attempted 
 and it was possible at this time only from the fact that certain dif- 
 ferences between the active members of the Supreme Council pre-
 
 VALLEY OF CHICAGO, 1856-1907 67 
 
 vented concerted action among- themselves. All of the nominees 
 of the Council were subsequently accepted and crowned by the 
 Supreme Council. 
 
 As before remarked, however, there is little in the transactions 
 of this body to engage the historian's pen, and particularly is this 
 true with respect to matters that have a direct bearing upon Orien- 
 tal Consistory. The foregoing brief resume presents, substantially, 
 the incidents in which the Consistory directly figures.
