Fellows In
Masonic Research


It is with pride that the Texas Lodge of Research presents its Fellows in Masonic Research. These brethren have distinguished themselves in the Masonic Press and in service to the Craft as outstanding researchers of its literature, history, lor e, ritual, symbolism, and philosophy.

Texas Lodge of Research by-laws provide that only one new Fellow may be elected each year, and such election is subject to the final approval of the Grand Lodge Committee on Masonic Education and Service.

The fact that only sixteen such honors have been awarded by the Lodge is indicative of the standards attendant to the designation.
