By 1897, Olson undertook the development of <em>The Degree of Honor Review<\/em> \u2013 a periodical she created to connect Degree of Honor\u2019s thousands of members.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo6\">[6]<\/a>\u00a0A resounding success, <em>The Review<\/em> was, within two years of its establishment, adopted as the official publication of the Association.<\/p>\n<p>By 1900, her involvement in Degree of Honor grew deeper, and she was elected Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota. Just four years later, she was elected an officer of the Superior Lodge, Degree of Honor\u2019s governing body.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo7\">[7]<\/a> But in 1908, the story truly begins to unfold.<\/p>\n<h2>UNCHARTED TERRITORY<\/h2>\n<p>On June 12, 1908, Frances Buell Olson was unanimously elected the Superior Chief of Honor &#8212; a vote that placed her at the helm of Degree of Honor&#8217;s fate.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo8\">[8]<\/a>\u00a0The Association was, at the time of Olson\u2019s election, still recognized only as the women\u2019s auxiliary to the Ancient Order of United Workmen (AOUW) \u2013 the world\u2019s first fraternal benefit society.<\/p>\n<p>While that heritage had once been proud, by 1908, many members of the Association saw it as a tether. For years preceding her election, Olson had extensively studied the problems plaguing many fraternal societies of the time.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo9\">[9]<\/a> She and several other adept women within Degree of Honor grew concerned that the AOUW was verging on instability. They believed that the AOUW\u2019s leadership was shortsighted, that their governance was in disarray, and most critically, that their inadequate assessment rates could inevitably lead to their financial ruin.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo10\">[10]<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>As Olson took office, her voice was one of defiance: She called for a complete severance from the AOUW.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo11\">[11]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>History fails to deliver a parallel example of the significance of Olson\u2019s desire for an independent female order. Though hundreds of fraternals had formed between 1868 and 1908, never had a female social auxiliary risen to supersede its parent order and become independent &#8212; much less when the parent order was the oldest and once-largest fraternal benefit society in the world. This simply hadn\u2019t been done.<\/p>\n<p>Unfazed by this uncharted territory, Olson negotiated the AOUW\u2019s complete and amicable acquiescence within a year and a half. On December 10, 1910, Degree of Honor finally became an independent fraternal benefit society.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo12\">[12]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That same day, Frances Buell Olson was reelected \u2013 again unanimously \u2013 for a second term, assuming the new title of National President. As she took the podium to address her beloved independent Association, Olson made it clear that she was only getting started.<\/p>\n<h2>A MODERN ASSOCIATION<\/h2>\n<p>Immediately following her reelection \u2013 now untethered, and with the passionate support of her membership &#8212; Olson outlined her vision for the future. She had two objectives which, if achieved, she believed would unify Degree of Honor and elevate the Association to its highest potential.<\/p>\n<p>Her first undertaking was what <em>The Fraternal Monitor<\/em>, a contemporary fraternal publication, described as \u201ca feat recognized as the maximum of fraternal achievement.\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo13\">[13]<\/a> Olson wanted the dozen Grand (state) Lodges of the Association to adopt National Fraternal Congress-approved premium rates for all members, old and new.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo14\">[14]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Adopting these sound assessment rates was at the core of Olson\u2019s decision to break from the AOUW. Inadequate rates were plaguing \u2013 and ruining \u2013 many formerly successful fraternals; they simply hadn\u2019t based their rates on actuarial science and were crumbling because of it. Olson single-handedly managed to standardize rates across the Grand Lodges in less than two years\u2019 time, ensuring Degree of Honor\u2019s financial stability for the modern era. Of this accomplishment, <em>The Monitor wrote<\/em>: \u201cThis record alone speaks volumes for the great personality of this woman.&#8221;<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo15\">[15]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But Olson had a <em>second<\/em> goal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>DEGREE OF HONOR UNITED<\/h2>\n<p>Olson had achieved an independent order, and succeeded in modernizing rates to ensure Degree of Honor\u2019s lasting solvency. But her biggest challenge was in unifying the hundreds upon hundreds of lodges that made up the Association. Taking yet another lesson from failed fraternals, Olson understood that no fraternal benefit society could survive if their lodges did not unite under a centralized, national authority \u2013 even her own.<\/p>\n<p>Olson certainly had her work cut out: In the early twentieth century, each Grand Lodge essentially operated as a separate fraternal benefit society.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo16\">[16]<\/a> Every Grand Lodge insured its own members, issued its own insurance contracts, levied and collected its own assessments, paid its own claims and kept its own accounts.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo17\">[17]<\/a> Olson\u2019s challenge was to persuade each Grand Lodge to surrender its ability to do business independently, and instead, come under the jurisdiction of the National Office.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo18\">[18]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>She set out to accomplish this goal in 1910. One by one, Olson persuaded each of the 15 Grand Lodges to acquiesce to her vision of a nationalized, unified Degree of Honor. Though it took 18 years of tireless effort to achieve, Olson accomplished this lasting unity in 1928.\u00a0The impact of this undertaking on Degree of Honor\u2019s success cannot be overemphasized. A 1931 article from the Minnesota Business &amp; Professional Women\u2019s Association stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt is a recognized fact in the fraternal system that the Degree of Honor Protective Association is great because years ago Mrs. Olson started a campaign to unite the many state Degree of Honor organizations.\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo19\">[19]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>She \u201ctook up these burdens single-handed, and if she ever faltered, no one on earth became aware of the fact.\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo20\">[20]<\/a> This series of achievements, arguably unparalleled in fraternal history, earned her the well-deserved title \u201cstalwart Master Builder of Fraternalism.\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo21\">[21]<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>\u201cEVERY INCH A MAN\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Frances Buell Olson was widely recognized during her lifetime as \u201ca master builder with great vision.\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo22\">[22]<\/a> Though she achieved her goals of modernized rates and unification by 1928, her lifetime of work hardly stopped there.<\/p>\n<p>Between 1925-1934 \u2013 the height of the Great Depression \u2013 when the world\u2019s economy was in a shambles, Degree of Honor managed to grow its surplus by $3 million.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo23\">[23]<\/a> Under Olson\u2019s 45-year tenure as National President, membership soared to well over 100,000.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo24\">[24]<\/a> Degree of Honor was extensively regarded as an organization \u201cwithout parallel in the insurance field.\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo25\">[25]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Beyond Degree of Honor, she \u201ccontributed largely to the great common cause of fraternal insurance.\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo26\">[26]<\/a> She served as president of the Minnesota Federation of Fraternal Women.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo27\">[27]<\/a> During her 45 years as National President of Degree of Honor, she held executive roles in numerous National Fraternal Congress committees, and in 1929 was the second woman elected the Congress\u2019 president \u2013 a position that placed her, in every sense, at \u201cthe head of the fraternal system of America.\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo28\">[28]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In considering Olson\u2019s extensive list of successes, one can see why she\u00a0once garnered a U.S. Congressman&#8217;s admiring exclamation that Frances Buell Olson was a woman who was \u201cevery inch a man.\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo29\">[29]<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>A LASTING LEGACY<\/h2>\n<p>What more can be said of Frances Buell Olson? She was described as a master orator; as having a \u201cdeep vein of sympathy,\u201d and a \u201cclear form of expression reminiscent of skilled rapier thrusts.\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo30\">[30]<\/a> She delighted in driving automobiles and in sharing the company of friends.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo31\">[31]<\/a> She planned and built two apartment houses.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo32\">[32]<\/a> After being widowed less than two years into her marriage, she raised her late husband\u2019s three children for fourteen years, and never remarried.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo33\">[33]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Olson once said that her enthusiasm in Degree of Honor required no incentive, and her faith no encouragement.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo34\">[34]<\/a> Instead, she regretted only that she \u201chad not more time and greater ability to give\u201d to her work.<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo35\">[35]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As we reminisce on the legacy of Frances Buell Olson \u2013 on her lifelong labor of love in the \u201cvineyard of fraternalism\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo36\">[36]<\/a> that still connects Degree of Honor\u2019s members &#8212; let us remember her wise words\u00a0from 1910:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThat we learn to be tender and to be kind to each other. To be able to bear trials bravely, to decide without prejudice, and to rise above suspicion; to look for the beautiful and the good in the common things about us; to let the sway of inward trust and peace rise to our lips and permeate our lives.\u201d<a class=\"fn\" href=\"#fbo37\">[37]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_section-4da73188384e96a35036e11a2c4a93c9\">\n.avia-section.av-av_section-4da73188384e96a35036e11a2c4a93c9{\nbackground-color:#f0eedb;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-av_section-4da73188384e96a35036e11a2c4a93c9 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-41'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_full-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_full-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_full-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-10  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><div  class='avia-button-wrap av-av_button-3de5996e5ee1ad020cbd91c0dc37d3af-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-12  el_before_av_button  avia-builder-el-first ' ><a href='https:\/\/degreeofhonor.com\/onlinemuseum\/collections\/'  class='avia-button av-av_button-3de5996e5ee1ad020cbd91c0dc37d3af avia-icon_select-no avia-size-medium avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color' ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Back to Collections Page<\/span><\/a><\/div> <div  class='avia-button-wrap av-av_button-c5456b8727bfc374d40e6cb6550d9038-wrap avia-button-right  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_button  avia-builder-el-last ' ><a href='https:\/\/degreeofhonor.com\/onlinemuseum\/collections\/lodge-life\/'  class='avia-button av-av_button-c5456b8727bfc374d40e6cb6550d9038 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-medium avia-position-right avia-color-theme-color' ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Next Collection<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_section-fb37fa88fbca848c7e29aff3fecdfcf1\">\n.avia-section.av-av_section-fb37fa88fbca848c7e29aff3fecdfcf1{\nbackground-color:#ffffff;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-av_section-fb37fa88fbca848c7e29aff3fecdfcf1 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-41'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Footnotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"fbo1\"><\/div>\n<p>[1] \u201cNational Headquarters of Degree of Honor in St. Paul;
