Br. On September 27, 1895, Dr. Timoleon Phileimos was elected Grand Master, a position in which he was distinguished for his adherence to the saying “Philosopher’s equality is achieved”, meaning that equality which, through well-meaning philanthropy, promotes the interconnectedness of national rights and, consequently, the forging, through sincere cooperation, of the true freedom of nations, without which the realisation of the concept of brotherhood is impossible. With faithful wisdom and consistent with the Pythagorean mortgages he served the Masonic ideals until his transfer to the Eternal East on March 7, 1898.
