# Apollo University Lodge

Apollo University Lodge is the [United Grand Lodge of England's](https://www.ugle.org.uk/) Masonic Lodge for members of the University of Oxford.

On 24 May 1818 at Brasenose College, a meeting of Freemasons was held with a view to founding a Lodge for members of the University. It was resolved that, the permission of the Vice Chancellor having first been obtained, a suitable petition would be presented to Grand Lodge.

The first meeting of 'the Apollo' was held on 10 February 1819. Since then, many thousands of Oxonians have become members of what is commonly regarded as the largest and probably the longest running of the various University societies. Current membership is in the region of 300, and includes undergraduates, postgraduates, members of Congregation, and alumni of the University.
