| The Supreme Council, 33°, for the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction
is the governing body for Scottish Rite Freemasonry. With its headquarters in Lexington, Massachusetts, the Supreme Council is governed by a board of directors comprised of some fifty 33° Masons, called "Active Members." The chief executive officer's title is Sovereign Grand Commander. Each of the 15 states within the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction has a "Deputy," who is the executive officer for the Rite within his state. |
He is supported by the remaining Active Members. There is at least one Active Member in addition to the Deputy in each state. Some states have as many as five Active Members. The purposes of the Supreme Council are clearly defined in its Declaration of Principles.
The Supreme Council meets on an annual basis, at which time the business of the Rite is transacted and the 33° is conferred on those who have been elected to receive this honor. From a membership of nearly 270,000 32° Masons, less than 3,500 have been elevated to the 33°, for which they have been given the title of "Honorary Member." Within each state are local Valleys, where degrees from the 4° - 32° are conferred.

| |  |  | Schizophrenia Research Well before the federal government took a major interest in finding the answers to the riddle of schizophrenia, Scottish Rite Masons took their first steps toward a solution to this debilitating condition. In the more than half a century that has elapsed, this program has funded grants to doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and scientists who continue to investigate promising leads which hopefully will reveal the basic caused of schizophrenia, one of the most prevalent and serious forms of mental illness.
