The Installation of officers for 2018

The Capitular year for 2018 begins in September, and we will be installing our officers in style, with a ceremonial installation, cocktail reception and gourmet dinner featuring Fireside Catering! The event is on the usual meeting night, September 14, 2017.

The evening will also honor one of our most distinguished Past High Priests, Lafayette G. Blair, who died in 1912. A speech will be given during the cocktail reception which will briefly touch on the history of the chapter and the real-life "wild west" exploits of extraordinary man.

Here is a brief excerpt from that speech:

Lafayette G. Blair, a Past Worshipful Master of Mount Olivet Lodge, ... a Past Excellent High Priest of Cambridge Chapter; a Past Eminent Commander and charter officer of Cambridge Commandery ... gave a speech to the Massachusetts Reformatory for boys:

“When I was a boy ... I left my home and went away to the wild, and what was then little known, West. I was with wild men who had come from all parts of the country. Some of them cared little for the rights of their associates, men who would shoot [another] at the drop of the hat, and drop the hat themselves ...”

Please contact the Secretary or Scribe if you wish to attend!

A new Capitular Year!

Companions, Brethren, members of the public all, it is with a tremendous sense of anticipation that I look forward to this coming year as your resident Cambridge Chapter blogger. I've not been very active because there has been so much work going into the Chapter this year!

But now, I'm officially the Scribe elect, and I suppose I should start Scribing!

The Cambridge Chapter is not a new institution, but the fascinating thing about Freemasonry is that, full of tradition as it is, we always seek to promote good men into leadership positions and then have them step aside for the next... it's a constantly fluid machine which renews itself with fresh perspective and energy. Thus, a century-and-a-half old institution can be just as relevant and dynamic as the day that it was formed, and that's definitely how I feel about our Chapter.

Our semi-public installation will begin at 6:30, this coming Thursday. The new Capitular year of initiations will begin next month, so if you are a Master Mason with an interest in Chapter, please contact us ASAP at 1950 Massachusetts Ave or via email to: cambridgechapter@freemasonry.degree.
