Some Lodge History: After a long period during which no new lodges had been formed in New Jersey, The Enrico Fermi Lodge was chartered in 1972. Consequently, we are known as New Jersey's Renaissance Lodge. We are named after Enrico Fermi, who was a colleague of one of our charter members. Fermi (1901 – 1954) was an Italian-American physicist particularly known for his work on the development of the first nuclear reactor, Chicago Pile-1, and for his contributions to the development of quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, and statistical mechanics. He was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on induced radioactivity. Fermi is widely regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 20th century, highly accomplished in both theory and experiment. Along with J. Robert Oppenheimer, he is frequently referred to as "the father of the atomic bomb". He also held several patents related to the use of nuclear power. Due in large part to the scientific contributions of Enrico Fermi, who defected to the United States from Italy during World War II, the U.S. was given the ability to win that war and then maintain itself as a mighty world power to this day.
