“As to their studies, it would be well if they could be taught everything that is useful, and everything that is ornamental. But art is long, and their time is short. It is therefore propos’d that they learn those things that are likely to be most useful and most ornamental”. – Brother Benjamin Franklin concerning the University of Pennsylvania
Continual education is a crucial aspect of the Masonic journey. Furthermore, this internal commitment is vital in making good men better. It is important for a man to be knowledgeable and have the freedom to expand his knowledge to best serve him and his community. A comprehensive study of the liberal arts and sciences empowers a Mason and his understanding of the world and people around him.
We welcome you to enjoy your time and study here.
