RW Bro. Doug Franklin, Chairman, Ashlar College<\/p>\n

It has been ten years since the founding of Ashlar College of Freemasonry, and five years since it was licenced \"\"by Grand Lodge.\u00a0 Although the name \u201cAshlar College\u201d may sound dry and academic, the purpose of the College is exactly opposite to that.\u00a0 The objective of Ashlar College is to assist Freemasons who want to learn about their Craft.\u00a0 Ashlar College does have a program of studies, consisting of eighteen courses offered at three levels.\u00a0 This is not, however, an imposed curriculum.\u00a0 The courses are simply signposts and guides for learning<\/em>.\u00a0 The focus of Ashlar College is on you, the individual Freemason, not on subjects to be mastered.\u00a0 There are assignments, but no exams; no \u201cpass or fail\u201d, and certainly no timetable.\u00a0 Each learner can work at his own pace.\u00a0 There are Brethren (adjudicators \/ mentors) to help, review assignments and make suggestions for further study.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it, many of us in the Craft have not experienced formal education for some time.\u00a0 Still, every day, we keep our minds open and we learn things. Over the years, since we were initiated, we have read articles and perhaps books on Freemasonry.\u00a0 How many times have we participated in a Masonic degree or ceremony, and wondered, \u201cWhy do we do that?\u201d or \u201cWhat does that phrase mean?\u201d\u00a0 Ashlar College is here to help you find answers, and more.\u00a0 Our time is precious, and one of the key roles of Ashlar College is to provide proven sources of information for the busy Freemason.<\/p>\n

As a pilot project in 2016, Ashlar College began to offer a special course for new Master Masons<\/a>, drawing upon First Level courses. Owing to the success shown in this pilot project, the Board of Ashlar College now offers the course to new Master Masons throughout our Jurisdiction. When these Brethren complete the course, should they wish to enroll <\/a>in Ashlar College, they will receive the incentive of a substantial discount in the registration fee.<\/p>\n
