1910 Triennial Conclave Medals Collection Click here to see the collection of medals and jewels from the Grand Encampment's 35th Triennial Conclave in Chicago in 1910. The collection was originally assembled by an unknown fratre in 1910 and framed in 1991 by Sir Knight Robert J. Elia, EPC, of St. Elmo Commandery No. 64. In honour of the centennial, S.K. Paul A. Scheeler, EPC, of St. Bernard Commandery No. 35, designed and built an illuminated triangular frame to showcase the collection which features both large, enamelled medals as well as smaller lapel pins, all issued for the 1910 triennial. A flier is available here, which includes an index of all of the medals and jewels, showing the commanderies who issued them, and their home towns. Commandery and the GAR On 26 April 2011, Sir Knight Paul Scheeler EPC presented a report on the Grand Army of the Republic, and the relationship and overlap between the GAR's Columbia Post No. 706 and Saint Bernard Commandery No. 35. Please click here to read Paul's illustrated report. Historical Photo Essays St. Bernard Commandery No. 35, with whom we share a substantial membership, have recently digitised, captioned, and posted the contents of several amateur photographic albums and scrapbooks. Images include 68 of the 1898 Triennial Conclave in Pittsburgh, 62 of the commandery's trip to the 1904 Triennial Conclave in San Francisco & Saint Louis World's Fair, 91 of the 1910 Triennial Conclave in Chicago, and 23 of our semi-sesquicentennial anniversary celebration in 1945, along with many other events. About Us Named in honour of Saint Albertus Magnus, O.P., Doctor Universalis, (1193/1206-1280 C.E.), Albertus Magnus Commandery of Research No. 92 is stationed at Jefferson Park Masonic Temple, Chicago. Our conclaves, however, are held throughout the state, and feature scholarly lectures. Just as lodges of research and chapters of research typically do not confer degrees, neither does our commandery of research confer orders. Our inspections are conducted jointly with St. Bernard Commandery No. 35 or another commandery. Consequently, membership is open only to those Freemasons who have already received the chivalric orders in a customary commandery. Our officers are all Eminent Past Commanders or sitting Eminent Commanders, many of whom have been decorated by the Grand Commandery of Illinois for their outstanding contributions.
