Annually,
a Mason of such prominence as would befit the name of W. B. Jack Ball
is invited to present a lecture on any Masonic subject of the lecturer’s
choice. The lecture has become a forum for the presentation of thoughts
that will chart the course of Masonry in the future. The Lecture series
stands for the proposition of free speech, free thought, and free conscience.
The express purpose of the lecture series is to challenge the minds
of Masons. The Lecture series is not designed for the barren intellect.
On the contrary, it is designed for those eager to learn and to think.
