The Rosicrucians, according to a

South G eorge street, local com m iesioner of the philosophical order, have
been asked to make a contribution to
a project begun by O glethorpe u ni
versity, G eorgia, for preserving to
day's know ledge for the civilization
of the year A. P. 1833. The Rosicru*
eian Order, Aniorc, has sent from San
Jose. C alifornia, upon the reque*t of
Dr. T. K. Peters, A rch ivist of O g le
thorpe university, manuscripts co n
taining the essence o f its p hiloso
phical d o ctrin es to be Included with
other chosen works of music, art and
sciences to be Interred in the specially
constructed vau lt and to be kept in
v io la te for o ver six ty centuries.
T h e Crypt o f C ivilization began at
O glethorpe u n iversity several years
ago, is made o f stone in w hich is
set a door of stainless steel 50 inches
w ide and 15u inches high. The in
terio r walls, floor and ceiling are
lined with vitreou s porcelain enam el

much in the m anner of the tom bs of
E gyp t.
E v e ry resource of m odern
science is being em ployed to insure
that mankind o f 8113 A. D. w ill find
and be able to know of today's a c
complishments.

M rs. Rockhold fu rther relates the


Roslcrucian m anuscripts are being

jected to the origin a l size or larger.
C ecil A. Poole, supreme secretary
o f the Roeicrucian order said that the
requ est for the Rosierucian m an u
scripts was m ade because they re p re
sent a contem porary philosophy h aving its roots in the systems o f
thou ght which began centuries b efore
the prejent era. T h e crypt w ill be
officia lly sealed in M ay of 1940 a c
cord in g to an announcem ent by Dr.
P eters.

R O SICR UCIAN ORDER


The Rose-Croix Institute and
Clinic, established by the Amore,
Rosicrucian Order o f San Jose,
Calif., w ill consider, in an inves
tigation of the causes and treat
ment of malignant growths, the

psychological effects

of colorful

bedrooms, special music, and mo


tion pictures which produce cer
tain emotional reactions upon the
patient. The institutes founder,
Dr. H. Spencer Lewis states, An
environment that does not sug
gest constantly to the patient that
he is abnormal or that he is iso
lated from the enjoyment and
pleasures of others, has a stimu
lating effect upon the mental at
titude o f the patient. The patient
must be made to feel that he or
she is a guest in a private home,
having an enjoyable vacation,
with the very best foods, the priv
ilege of resting in a patio filled
with flowers and or enjoying
other elements that contribute to
psychological, beneficial effects.

when they force their w ay into the
C ryp t o f C ivilization in Georgia.
The Rosicrucians, according to Mrs. |
C. N . A sh o f Franklin, a member o f
the philosophical Order, have been
asked to make an im portant and one

todays
know ledge fo r the civilization o f the
yea r A , D., 8J13,
The Rosicrucian j
Order, A M O R C , has sent from its j
archives at San Jose, C alifornia, upon
the request of Dr. T . K . Peters, A r - j
ch ivist
of
O glethrope
U niversity, j
manuscripts containing the essence o f j
its philosophical doctrines to be in- *
eluded w ith other chosen works o f
music, a rt ,and the sciences, to be
interred in the specially constructed
vau lt and kept inviolate fo r over s ix
ty centuries. The C ryp t o f C iviliza t
ion, states Mrs. Ash, begun at O g le
thorpe U n ive rs ity several years ago,
is made o f stone in which is set a door'
o f stainless steel 50 inches wide and
150 inches high. The in terior walls,

Mrs. Ash fu rth er relates that the

are being reduced to fram es o f a 35

The people of Loudon, he said, have

Forrer said that while his family

Woman Sues For


Damages, Saying
She Was Sterilized
Los Angeles, April 30IPSuit
for 51,000,000 damages has been
filed against Ralph Maxwell Lewis
and others by Jeanette Scott Sey
mour Young, 27-year-old concert
pianist, who charged they had her
confined in a state insane hospital
and forced her to undergo a sterili
zation operation.
Miss Youngs complaint asserted
she became engaged to Lewi*,
whom it identified as president of
the Rosicrucian order, after he rep
resented he was unmarried and a
member of the Caucasian race.
When she learned he was already
married and was not a Caucasian,
and threatened legal action, the
complaint charged, Lewis conspired

A H ig h P r i c e
We are not a member o f the Rosicrucian Order
but we do think an effo rt is being made to hold
them up.
Like most San Joseans we have watched the
growth o f Rosicrucian park, which is located on
Naglee, Park and Chapman streets. Originally
there was only one building, located on a lot of
modest size on a street of homes. Gradually the
park expanded, homes were purchased 'and torn
down, the land was cleared, and additional Rosi
crucian buildings built.
A t last the order owned property stretching an
entire block, from Chapman street to Park avenue,
except fo r a small lot, 70 by 80 feet, containing a
small frame cottage and located at the corner of
Park and Naglee.
The late J. Spencer Lewis, imperator of the
order, tried repeatedly to buy the property during
his lifetime, desiring to round out the Rosicrucian
park. The house was owned by a woman who used
it as a place in w'hich to perform abortions and
refused to sell, even for a price Avhieh, to an out
sider, seemed more than the house was worth.
When the abortionist was convicted, one of the
terms under which she avoided going to jail fo r a
long term was that her house should be sold. The
Rosicrucians thought that at long last they would
be able to buy the house, which constitutes some
thing of an eyesore on the corner of their grounds.
However, Ralph Lewis, head of the order, told The
News yesterday that a Redwood City real estate
agent telephoned him to say the price fo r the prop
erty is $17,000.
W e are not in the realty business, but $17,000
for a small cottage and a lot 70 by 80 seems high.
W e are not surprised that Mr. Lewis said his organi
zation is not interested.
