Masons are a Secret Society originally developed in Europe in the late middle ages. They required secrecy and ritual in order to ensure their secrets were not divulged to the authorities (ie. The Roman Catholic Church) who would persecute them. They are also the foundation for most modern University Fraternities.

There have been universities in existence for several thousand years, dating back at least to the height of Ancient Greece.  I sincerely doubt that the name of the first university or its first student still exists anywhere in human knowledge.

That's a good question!  Hope this helps:\n\nThe Phi Beta Kappa Society, founded on December 5, 1776 at the College of William and Mary (Williamsburg, Virginia), is generally recognized to be the first Greek-letter student secret society in North America. By legend, it was founded by individuals rejected for membership from an older student society known as the Flat Hat Club, which counted Thomas Jefferson among its alumni. The Flat Hat Club, or FHC, for short was founded on November 11, 1750, by six students at the College of William and Mary. FHC was the precursor to Phi Beta Kappa and thus has the distinction of being the first in line of the thousands of greek-letter fraternities and sororities found on college campuses today.\n\nThe society formed as a forum to discuss topics not covered in the regimented classical education of universities of the era—lending the name literary fraternity to its type. Ironically, that education was responsible for the name—most students were well-versed in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew; Phi, Beta, and Kappa were the initials of an esoteric Greek motto. In addition to its secrecy and selection of a Greek name, it also introduced a code of high ideals, secret rituals and handclasps, membership badges, and oaths that characterized later Greek letter societies.
