Architecture and Speculative Masonry

FOREWORD

THE FIVE PARTS which comprise Grand Master Legeman's series on "Architecture and Speculative Masonry" are here reproduced exactly as they appeared in "The Indiana Freemason," official monthly publication of the Grand Lodge F. & A. M. of Indiana.

PART 1 was published in the issue for October 1952, and the subsequent installments appeared monthly and were concluded in February, 1953.

The Committee suggests that this bulletin is excellent background for anyone preparing to give the lecture of the Fellow Craft degree.

MOST WORSHIPFUL Brother Legeman is a professional architect of national repute. It was a natural development therefore that, as Master of Evansville Lodge No. 64 in 1945, he should prepare for the Craft a series of illustrated articles concerned with the unfamiliar terms we hear in the Fellow Craft lecture--thereby bringing "further light" to a much neglected subject.

Now he has revised and amplified his former work especially for The Indiana Freemason, and it will be our privilege to present our Grand Master's authoritative studies in a series of monthly features. The first appears on this page and the others will follow in consecutive issues.
