¨ A MODERN EXAMINATION OF THE LANDMARKS OF FREEMASONRY
by Bro. Terence Satchell, Mt. Rushmore Lodge #220, Grand Lodge of South Dakota.

This paper reexamines the Landmarks specified by Mackey and Pound. It establishes the criteria which these two authors established to define the individual Landmarks of the fraternity and determines whether these criteria were followed. It also uses more recent documents in Masonic history to see if the fraternity continues to regard these customs as Landmarks and examines the repercussions of not recognizing certain customs as the Landmarks of the order. Finally, the paper creates a set of Landmarks based on this reexamination which could alleviate much debate.
