1908-13: Installation of officers not present at the 1907 Feast of St. John.
1908-31: Petition by Macedonian Lodge regarding the recently-adopted amendment to the Grand Constitutions regarding release of jurisdiction; the basis of their protest is due to their closer proximity to Dorchester and Roxbury than many of the Boston lodges. Referred to committee.
- 12/09: 1908-201; petition requested on 09/23 to be withdrawn; granted.
1908-34: Recognition of Grand Lodge of Argentina, originally requested in 1907, refused due to the association of the applicant with "divers and sundry other notorious, spurious and pretended Masons."
1908-35: Warning by the Recording Grand Secretary against circulars "disseminated throughout the State by one Clark, a book-binder, of Portland, Me., offering for sale a cheap publication purporting to be a cipher of our ritual."
1908-36: Resolutions adopted to create a Committee on Masonic History:

"Resolved, That it is the duty of the Grand Jurisdiction of Freemasonry in Massachusetts, the oldest jurisdiction in this country, to cause to be prepared, as completely as possible, and published in enduring form, its Masonic history from Colonial days to the present time.

"To that end it is

"Moved, That a Committee on Masonic History, to consist of one able and discreet Brother, and to be known as the Historian of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, be appointed by the Most Worshipful Grand Master to carry out the purpose of the Resolution.

"And it is further

"Moved, That the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars be appropriated each year to defray the personal expenses of this Committee or Historian - subsequent provision to be made for publishing the History in such way and manner as may be determined by this Grand Lodge.

"The resolutions were unanimously adopted by a rising vote, with manifestation of much enthusiasm. The M.W. Grand Master John Albert Blake then announced that he believed it would be the general opinion of the Fraternity that the Brother best qualified for the duty proposed was the present Grand Secretary Sereno D. Nickerson, and accordingly that appointment would be made; therefore it now rested with that Brother to decide whether he would undertake what it was hoped would be to him a welcome task."

1908-38: Report of Committee on Legislation. An act reported to the Legislature in March 1908 is reprinted in full.

1908-104: Grand Master announced that Wor. William A. Smith, the first Master of Montacute Lodge at its organization in 1858, was his special guest. "To his greeting the aged Brother responded in a manner that showed in how slight a degree he was affected by the weight of his advancing years."
