 Freemasons have always proclaimed that they are not a secret society, yet out of millions of Freemasons, all over the world, only a select few are aware of The Philalethes Society. Among the original "keepers of this secret" were Harold V. B. Voorhis, Rudyard Kipling, Robert I. Clegg, Louis Black, J. Hugo Tatsch, Charles S. Plumb, Harry L. Haywood and Charles S. Hunt. The Philalethes Society was founded on October 1, 1928, by a group of Masonic Students. It was designed for Freemasons desirous of seeking and spreading Masonic light. In 1946 The Philalethes Magazine was established to publish articles by and for its members. For many years it has been voted the best Masonic Publication in the world. The sole purpose of this Research Society is to act as a clearing house for Masonic knowledge. It exchanges ideas, researches problems confronting Freemasonry, and passes them along to the Masonic world.
