On January 27, 1928, a committee was appointed by the Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia by the order of the late Most Worshipful Grand Master Charles P. Ford, who escorted the Worshipful Master Elect Gustavus N. Bull to the Royal Arch Room on the second floor of the Masonic Temple located at 5th and Virginia Avenue S.E. for the Ceremonies of the Oriental Chair. After the ceremonies were completed the Worshipful Master was escorted to the door of the Lodge where the alarm was given by the Most Worshipful Grand Master accompanied by his cabinet.

They were respectfully admitted and the Grand Honors were given by the Lodge.
