Albert Gallatin Mackey Medal
|
At the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina in March 1934, Grand Master, E.S.C. Baker, made a recommendation near the end of his Grand Master's Address that "a Grand Lodge Medal, to be known as the Albert Gallatin Mackey Medal" be established. It was to be awarded in the judgment of the Grand Master "to any Mason for distinguished service in Masonry."
The Albert Gallatin Mackey Medal is the enduring manifestation of honor to Brother Mackey. He was a man of great accomplishment. His Masonic writings are continually read and studied even today. He was and still is respected the world over for his contributions to Freemasonry. It is only fitting that such a man be remembered through this lasting tribute. May the recipients of this medal remember what it stands for and strive always to uphold its honor and dignity. |

Frederick Dalcho Certificate of Merit
The second highest award in this jurisdiction, given at the discretion of the Grand Master.
|
The award is named for Rev Frederick Dalcho, MD, who was the dominant figure in Freemasonry in South Carolina in the early 1800’s. In the year 1807, Dr Dalcho published, under the sanction of the Grand Lodge of Ancient York Masons of South Carolina, The Ahiman Rezon. Since that time, the book has been revised and augmented, and continues today as the Book of Constitutions in South Carolina. Rev Dr Dalcho served as Grand Chaplain, and was one of the founders of the Supreme Council 33rd Degree, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, the Southern Jurisdiction of the USA.
