Frederick Margetson Rushmore was another Provincial Grand Master who was also a distinguished academic and Master of a College. He was Installed at a special meeting in the Guildhall, on 17th June 1932, by the Deputy Grand Master, Lord Cornwallis. The Cambridge Chronicle went to town on the occasion, publishing a four column report on the Installation of Rushmore and the Provincial Royal Arch Convocation. The attendance is given in full, with names grouped under their respective Lodges, and all the Officers appointed in Lodge and Chapter are fully detailed. The list of Apologies is also detailed, headed by the President of the Board of Benevolence, Sir Kynaston Studd. Who was to guess that the absent Sir Kynaston would be Installed himself in less than two years' time? R.W.Bro. Rushmore was not long to enjoy the office of Provincial Grand Master. He was already ill on appointment and presided at but one Provincial Grand Lodge, in November of the same year. That same month Rushmore took the chair of his old lodge once again in order to Initiate his elder son. Alas, he did not see his boy Raised or the younger brother come to join INUL too, in due course. He died on the 17th June 1933, the very anniversary of his Installation.
Rushmore came up to St. Catharine's in 1895 and was a Choral Exhibitioner,
taking his BA in 1898 and his MA in 1902.
