The Victorian Lodge of Research No. 218 is a Masonic lodge established in 1911 in Melbourne, Australia, dedicated to Masonic research and education 

In Freemasonry, the Trivium and Quadrivium are part of the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences, which are introduced in the Fellow Craft degree. The Trivium consists of Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric, while the Quadrivium comprises Arithmetic, Geometry, Music, and Astronomy

The Trivium is considered the foundation of communication and critical thinking:

1. Grammar: Knowledge and learning of language

2. Logic: Reasoning, questioning, and thinking with language

3. Rhetoric: Directing, moving, and persuading using language

The Quadrivium focusses on the scientific arts and is associated with understanding the mysteries of the universe:

1. Arithmetic: Study of numbers

2. Geometry: Study of space and form

3. Music: Study of harmony and proportion

4. Astronomy: Study of celestial bodies and the cosmos

In Masonic philosophy, these arts are seen as tools for self-improvement and understanding the world. Geometry, in particular, is emphasised in Freemasonry as the pre-eminent science through which nature and the universe can be understood.
