		<description><![CDATA[The Research Lodge of Colorado developed from persistent recommendations of Grand Secretary Harry W. Bundy to the Grand Lodge.

In 1950 he reported: "Regular Lodges are devoting their entire time in most instances to the conferring of degrees. . . . Numerical strength is needed, but intellectual strength even more so. . . . It will be necessary to go elsewhere than to the Lodge of initiation for an explanation of what we have glibly promised to support and attempt to do. We need another type of meeting place where the history of the Order may be reviewed and its developments logically traced. . . . Ritual, legend, and liturgy must be clarified, and their use justified in binding men to the fraternity. The degree Lodges must be relieved of the 'all-work' program which makes for dullness."]]></description>
