From Introduction: Rather than writing the history of the Vasa Order as novel of general public interest, it has been compiled as a step by step presentation of the 75 years of evolution of the organization. It is felt, that this approach will be of greater value in creating a fairly complete picture of what the Vasa Order is, ad what has transpired since the original concept. A lot of detailed data has been included to serve as reference and guide for future development of the Vasa Order, and as a means of creating interest in, and obtaining better knowledge of the different areas of the organization. It is hoped that it will stimulate visits and closer contacts among districts and individual lodges. It should also give the reader a deeper feeling for the tremendous amount of work, which has gone into the shaping of the Vasa Order, and how the organization has been able to adapt to the various conditions which have taken place since its origination and create a sense of pride among the members belonging to Vasa. Most of the information for the historical review has been obtained from the Grand Lodge Convention minutes, some from the 50 year history published in 1946 and some through correspondence with District Secretaries and other members of the various District Lodges. The review of District Minnesota No. 7 as published in the 27th Grand Lodge Convention booklet was used because it was quite complete and up to date.
