Edward Stanley Pauly (1870- 1948) was a Vice President of Security-First National Bank. He began his career as a messenger boy served there in every department of the organization during his nearly 60 years with this renown financial institution. He was a member of the California Club, Los Angeles Country Club, Masons and Al Malaikah Temple of the Shriners. On June 24, 1717, four London lodges assembled at the Goose and Gridiron Ale House and institutionalized non-operative Freemasonry when they established the Grand Lodge of England and elected its first Grand Master. The first "high degree" added to Craft Masonryâ "it is a remarkable fact that high degree Masonry is virtually as old as Speculative Freemasonry itself. Other high degrees also followed quickly on the footsteps of the Master Mason's Degree. As early as 1733 a reference to a "Scotch Masons' Lodge" appeared in a manuscript list of lodges by Dr. Richard Rawlinson, and the following year, it was again mentioned in a printed list of Masonic Bodies. Étienne (Stephen) Morin, who would become important in the history of high degree Masonry, was among the founders of Loge Parfaite Harmonie. The book Le Parfait Maçon, published in 1744, has particular relevance to the development of high degree Freemasonry. In a section on the "Secret of the Scottish Masons" (Secret des maçons écossaise), it introduces another direct ancestor of the high degrees, whose theme remains the basis for the Scottish Rite's 15°, Knight of the East, and 16°. On May 24, 1801, John Mitchell made the Reverend Frederick Dalcho (a Prussian, born in London) a Deputy Inspector General of the Order of the Royal Secret, and one week later, on May 31, "the Supreme Council of the 33d Degree for the United States of America, was opened. The "Supreme Council at Charleston," as it was sometimes called, was the first Supreme Council of the 33° in the world. It continues to exist today as the Supreme Council, 33°, Southern Jurisdiction, and its see remains in Charleston, although its residence was moved to Washington, D.C., about 1870, and it now sits at the House of the Temple. In an agreement made that year between this newly-created Supreme Council and the Grand Orient of France (which operated as a Grand Lodge), the title "Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite" (Rite Écossais Ancien et Accepté) was used for the first time. Beginning with the administration of Grand Commander Albert Pike in 1859, the name came into general use in the Southern Jurisdiction. A Scottish Rite chapter is called a "Valley". Each Valley has up to four Scottish Rite bodies, and each body confers a series of degrees. In the Southern Jurisdiction, USA, these are the Lodge of Perfection (4° - 14°), the Chapter Rose Croix (15° - 18°), the Council of Kadosh (19° - 30°), and the Consistory (31° - 32°). The Supreme Council alone confers the 33rd Degree, Inspector General Honorary. Single sheet, printed on one side.
