| Summary | The Oxford Orphanage is a non-denominational institution owned and maintained by the Grand Lodge of Masons of North Carolina, for the care, maintenance, training, and education of destitute orphaned children who have no other source of support. Because the Orphanage has been an important factor in education, in the State and Nation, it seems worthy of a place in the history of education of North Carolina. With this in view, the author has attempted to bring together and organize in ono paper the facts pertinent to the establishment, development, and present status of the Oxford Orphanage. The sources of information are the Records and Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Masonry, newspapers, pamphlets, and interviews with persons associated with the institution. Unfortunately, however, the records are far from complete; in many cases records were either not kept or have been destroyed. No attempt has been made to prove anything, or to offer any conclusions. Rather, It has been the aim of the author merely to tell the story of one interesting phase of education in North Carolina. |
