History of the Order
of Pythagorans
The Order of
Pythagorans was founded and introduced to Prince Hall Masonry by Past
Deputy Grand Master, Right Worshipful James A. Revaleon, in Boston,
Massachusetts, 1936.
The purpose of the Organization was to provide a club for boys,
emphasizing programs for their Education. Social, Vocational, Physical and
Moral development.
The Order was named after Pythagoras (591 B.C. - 50c B.C.), a noted Greek
Philosopher and Mathematician, who traveled extensively throughout Egypt,
Chaldea and Asia. Pythagoras was a contemporary with many of the Hebrew
Prophets and Leaders. Because of his fortitude and constancy, he was
initiated into the mysteries of Hebrew and Egyptian learning's. On his
return to Samos, his home country, Pythagoras established a school,
whereby he taught the mystical powers of Numbers, along with their
relationship with Life and the Universe.
Though Pythagoras was proficient in many things, he regarded himself
merely as a "Seeker after Knowledge", and not it's possessor; which may be
interpreted as the Beginning of Wisdom.
Prince Hall Masonry, like the people during the time of Pythagoras, has
accepted his philosophies as a way of teaching "... their children the Art
of Good Citizenship".
The programs of the order have been diversified to meet the needs and
interest of it's members. It's aim is to develop better Son's and Men.
